AEW has just confirmed the signing of a 17-year professional wrestling veteran.
In terms of talent, AEW has one of the best locker rooms in pro wrestling. With superstars like Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay, and Kazuchika Okada, to name a few, performing night in and night out, no one can deny that.
Now, it would seem they are preparing to add to that pool of talent, with the signing of a 17-year wrestling veteran. The veteran in question would bolster the Jacksonville-based promotion’s Women’s Division and is none other than Syuri Kondo.
Kondo has been an active wrestler since 2008, but became a household name during her most recent run from 2020 onwards with World Wonder Ring Stardom. She also has an extensive background in mixed martial arts, having fought in the UFC between 2017 and 2021.
