37-year-old personality's blockbuster debut in non-AEW promotion officially announced
Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and AEW have recently struck up a partnership, with talent from both companies appearing in the other's programming on several occasions this year. Now, All Elite referee Aubrey Edwards is set to make her debut in the Mexico City-based promotion.
Edwards has been signed with All Elite Wrestling since 2019. That year, she became the first female official to serve as a referee for a pay-per-view World Title match at All Out, where she officiated the AEW World Championship bout between Chris Jericho and Hangman Page. She has refereed numerous matches in the Tony Khan-led promotion since then and is now set to make her debut in CMLL.
During the press conference for the 2024 CMLL International Women's Grand Prix, it was revealed that Aubrey Edwards will serve as an in-ring official alongside La Vaquerita. The bout will take place on October 25 at CMLL Grand Prix de Amazonas and will see the participation of former AEW TBS Champion Willow Nightingale and ROH Women's World TV Champion Red Velvet representing Team World.
"Guest Referee! AEW's Aubrey Edwards will be one of the officials in the ring tonight at the Amazonas 2024 #GrandPrixCMLL," said CMLL's tweet. [Translated via Google Translate]
Notably, another well-known All Elite official, Bryce Remsburg, was on referee duty at a CMLL event in March this year—a show that featured Matt Sydal and The Blackpool Combat Club in action against Mistico, Volador Jr., Blue Panther, and Ultimo Guerrero.
AEW's Aubrey Edwards recently penned a heartfelt message for her husband
Aubrey Edwards has been with her husband for over 18 years, according to an Instagram post she shared in March.
Taking to the social media platform last month, the 37-year-old wrote an emotional message for the latter.
"Happy birthaversary. One year older for you, and one more year stumbling through life together. If there’s anyone I’d choose to shatter my childhood memories through wrestling, it’s you. Photos by @arealgoldmouth for @gritcitywrestling at @bumbershoot."
It remains to be seen how Edwards fares in her debut as an official in CMLL.
