She had talks with WWE and was offered a deal by TNA, but none of this panned out as she chose to become All-Elite.<\/p>\n<p>Tony Khan was asked about her earlier today during the AEW All Out media call, specifically about whether she was the mystery challenger for Persephone&#8217;s TBS title at the pay-per-view. He gave his usual vague answer, but did not deny the possibility. He was full of praise for her and seemed to be subtly confirming that she would be making her imminent debut.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cWell, she\u2019s a great, young wrestler.
