Fans witnessed a shocking AEW Dynamite debut.
All Elite Wrestling hosted the women’s Casino Gauntlet on the 15th January episode of Dynamite Maximum Carnage. While Kris Statlander and Jamie Hayter opened up the match, it was soon followed up by the arrival of a top independent star, Megan Bayne.
Entering the gauntlet match at number three after Statlander and Hayter, everyone present in the arena was taken aback by Bayne’s intimidating appearance and presence. Entering the match as a surprise participant, Megan Bayne marked her Dynamite debut. Although, she has previously wrestled for the promotion multiple times at AEW Dark and AEW Dark: Elevation.
This marked her first match in the promotion since a Rampage dark match in 2023. Earlier a report by Fightful Select, suggested Bayne appear for the show. A few years ago in 2023, news emerged about Bayne signing a contract with All Elite Wrestling, which was followed up by some chatter in 2024 about creative plans being in place for her until more information appeared about her not being in a contract with the promotion.
Bayne now regularly competes at GCW and various independent promotions.
