Lena Kross Signs with AEW After Grand Slam Australia Return

Lena Kross didn’t just show up at AEW Grand Slam Australia — she officially signed on the dotted line.

After making her first AEW appearance since July 2025 at the February 14, 2026 event in Sydney, Kross wasted no time making an impact. She aligned herself with Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford following their match against Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron, then blindsided Cameron with a TKO cutter after the champions successfully retained the AEW Women’s Title.

Just hours later, Tony Khan made it official. Taking to social media, the AEW President confirmed what many suspected following her dominant return.

“After she arrived at #AEWGrandSlam Australia tonight in dominant fashion, now it’s official: @lena_kross is All Elite!”

The announcement came with the signature “All Elite” graphic, cementing Kross as a full-time member of the AEW roster. Reports back in last December had indicated that Kross had signed with AEW, but Khan’s public declaration removes any remaining doubt. The Grand Slam appearance wasn’t a one-off — it was a statement.

Kross previously competed in AEW on Collision in 2025, where she suffered a loss to Kris Statlander. Now, she returns with backup, momentum, and official confirmation behind her name. With her alignment alongside Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford, AEW’s women’s division just added another physical presence.
