The company announced on Tuesday that they have signed Priscilla Kelly, Lacey Ryan, and Elayna Black with all three receiving new names ahead of their television debuts.
Kelly, 23, has been wrestling since 2015 and participated in the Mae Young Classic in 2018 losing to Deonna Purrazzo in the opening round. She made several appearances for AEW including a spot in the Casino Battle Royale at All Out in August 2019. Kelly will be going by the name Gigi Dolin.
