AEW star Harley Cameron isn’t just rocking the mic and the ring—she’s also turning heads with her unforgettable name. But now, she’s revealing exactly where that name came from, and the inspiration might surprise you.

During an appearance on Talk Is Jericho, Cameron told Chris Jericho that her wrestling name was born from a mix of admiration and pure chaos. “I’ve always liked the name Cameron for a girl. I don’t know why. I think I had a little gay crush on Cameron Diaz. She’s gorgeous,” she confessed.

But that’s only half the story. Her first name? A straight-up nod to one of pop culture’s most chaotic icons. “Everyone said my wacky and zany nature was reminiscent of Harley Quinn,” she explained. “I feel like it’s an obvious wink at that. My craziness was kind of on par with that character. I just mixed it together. ‘That sounds good.’”

So there it is—Harley from the Joker’s wildest sidekick, and Cameron from the Hollywood angel who stole her heart. The result? One of the most unique personas in AEW, and a name fans won’t forget anytime soon.
