Kamille’s AEW Status Unclear After Backstage Attack and Sudden TV Disappearance

Kamille’s AEW future just got even murkier, and fans are starting to ask the hard questions.

After months of being off television, Tony Khan recently addressed Kamille’s status on the Battleground podcast, noting she hasn’t been seen since she was “attacked backstage” last November. That assault, still unexplained, was reportedly used to write her off TV following a rushed and awkward split with Mercedes Moné.

Now, in a new update, more light is being shed on Kamille’s behind-the-scenes standing in AEW—and it’s not pretty.

Kamille joined AEW in February 2024 after a celebrated 812-day reign as NWA Women’s Champion. She finally debuted that July as Mercedes Moné’s bodyguard and enforcer. Early on, she was positioned as a powerhouse, but things took a nosedive when she was booked to lose to Kris Statlander in just her seventh AEW match. That match was her last.

Shortly after, she was found unconscious backstage, marking her final appearance. Since then, she’s been absent from TV entirely.

Dave Meltzer spoke on the Wrestling Observer, suggesting AEW soured on Kamille quickly. “They didn’t do anything. She came in, she had that terrible match, and then it was kinda like… They pretty much gave up on her at that point,” he claimed. Meltzer added, “I think that they may not have understood the level that she was at… it’s really noticeable when someone is bad.”

That stings, especially for a former champion with a ton of potential. Kamille also appeared in AEW’s “Queen of the Ring” film, but she’s been completely left out of TV promotion. Toni Storm got the spotlight instead.

Despite the online criticism, Tony Khan maintained a storyline explanation during his podcast interview. “We don’t know who attacked Kamille, and the last time we saw her, she was attacked. We know she had a breakup with Mercedes Moné in their business relationship. Mercedes is flourishing since then… but Kamille, we haven’t seen her since she was attacked, and we’re not sure what that was and what that was about.”

Khan didn’t close the door on Kamille’s return, noting, “When Kamille does return to get payback for that attack, it’ll be interesting to see who she goes after.”

Right now, that “if” feels bigger than ever. Kamille remains under contract, but whether she’s still in AEW’s plans is anyone’s guess.
