AEW President Tony Khan has secretly signed a new wrestler to his company. Indie star Viva Van is now All Elite. Fans online were happy to know that AEW is now Viva's new home.
The five-foot-five-inch female wrestler has been one of the top wrestlers on the independent circuit. She has worked with major wrestling promotions like GCW, DEFY, NJPW, and many more. She has also worked with AEW.
Her first match in the Tony Khan-led promotion was in 2021 when she made her AEW debut on a Dark episode. The last time fans saw her in the AEW ring was in November on Rampage, where she lost to Hikaru Shida.
