While revealing her conversation with Shawn Michaels, she said, “Once again, I just appreciated so much that he’s even taken the time out to look at my work, to enjoy my matches, watch my promo, stuff like that. I mean, um… you know I had conversations with Shawn Michaels and I had no clue that Shawn Michaels had any idea who in the world Kamille was.

Kamille, a former softball player turned wrestler, dominated the NWA as Women’s Champion for over 2 years. She defeated Serena Deeb in June 2021 and held the title for a record-breaking 730 days, defending against various challengers. While she lost the championship in August 2023, she remains a respected figure in the wrestling world.

She did not know what to expect as a free agent when she got a call from Tony Khan and Shawn Michaels. While Tony Khan is the founder of AEW, Shawn Michaels is the head of NXT and both are talent scouters for their respective brand.
