Former WWE Interviewer To Make AEW In-Ring Debut This Week
August 10, 2020No one saw it coming but one AEW talent is actually gonna wrestle for the company.
Since AEW launched they have had Dasha Gonzalez, the former Dasha Fuentes In WWE, in the company as a backstage interviewer and ring announcer. She has also been used for Spanish commentary as well. With Dasha having so many different roles in the company no one expected her to add more to that. Especially adding in-ring performer to that list of duties.
Today AEW announced that Dasha will be competing in the AEW Women’s Tag Team tournament on tonight’s episode. When picking what team she will be on Dasha pulled a blue chip. Former NXT wrestler Rachael Ellering then walked up with a blue chip confirming that the two will be teammates in the tournament. It was then announced that Gonzalez and Ellering will be taking on the team of Ivelisse and Diamante tonight.
