Viva Van is All Elite.
At the end of December 2024, seven-year wrestler Viva Van revealed that she signed a contract with All Elite Wrestling.
She spoke about her signing on the newest episode of AEW Unrestricted and stated that she officially put pen to paper on the first day of 2025.
Yes, I did (sign with AEW on January 1st) and I’m so excited to be here… First person I told was my boyfriend and then my family. I celebrated with my boyfriend and my family. What it means to me? The world because I’ve been training, wrestling for eight years, working for seven and it just felt like all the hard work finally paid off.
For a few years, I was like, ‘Man, what do I gotta do?’ I mean, I feel like I’m on the same show with everybody except, you know, I just don’t have a contract yet (she said about working AEWROH dates for several years before getting signed). But I kept telling myself that, ‘Not yet’ and I think that’s what kept me going.
Viva Van has worked dates for AEW since 2021. She’s competed at ROH on HonorClub tapings but has yet to make her AEW TV debut as a contracted talent.
