During Saturday’s AEW Grand Slam: Australia special, the current AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions, the Babes of Wrath (TBS Champion Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron), successfully defended their titles against Penelope Ford and Megan Bayne.
Immediately following the match, as Nightingale and Cameron celebrated with their championships, Lena Kross made a striking entrance. The top Australian wrestler emerged from behind and took control, taking out Cameron with a TKO Cutter and imposing her will on Nightingale. Bayne then followed up with a Spear on Nightingale. Kross, Bayne, and Ford posed together afterwards, establishing their alliance on AEW television.
Shortly after her impressive performance at Grand Slam: Australia, AEW President and CEO Tony Khan announced on his Twitter (X) account that Kross has officially signed with the company and is now “All Elite.”
This is what Tony Khan wrote, “After she arrived at #AEWGrandSlam Australia tonight in dominant fashion, now it’s official: @lena_kross is All Elite!”
According to a report by Fightful Select in December 2025, Kross had already signed with AEW at that time. Kross made her AEW debut on the July 31, 2025, episode of Collision, where she faced former AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander and lost in singles competition.
