"She’s reached out" - AEW's Jim Ross has been texting a former world champion in the last month
AEW continues to sign major free agents in the industry. Recently, Jim Ross revealed that he's been in contact with a former NWA World Women's Champion. The name in question is none other than Kamille.
The female star reportedly has been signed with AEW since February 2024. However, she was not used until the July 24 episode of Dynamite. She shockingly attacked Britt Baker and formed an alliance with the current TBS Champion and Strong Women's Champion, Mercedes Mone. Kamille's last appearance in the Jacksonville-based promotion was in 2021.
Speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross revealed that AEW has plans for Kamillie and how the former NWA star reached out to him for advice.
"They got plans for her. She’s got a great look. I’ve been texting with her in the last month a few times. She’s reached out, just for advice and things of that nature. My advice to all the talent is pretty much all the same. Don’t be late. Be prepared, mentally and physically, for your role that particular night. Look at every opportunity as just that, an opportunity to get exposure. She got good exposure on Wednesday night, I thought, and she dresses up that roster because she’s got such a good look, so athletic. So I think that’s nice addition. I think that’s a good hire," Ross said. [H/T:Fightful]
WWE veteran Bully Ray wants to see Kamille become a top star in AEW
Former NWA World Women's Champion Kamille seems to have left an impact on veterans including Bully Ray. On the Busted Open podcast, The WWE Hall of Famer stated that AEW should book her like Chyna which could help her become an established star in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
"Great to see Kamille. High hopes for Kamille. We saw what she's [done] in the NWA, brought credibility to that [World Women's Championship]. I want to see Kamille get established first; I want to see Kamille established the same way Chyna was established back in the day, or whenever you wanna establish somebody and take them seriously," he said.

It will be interesting to see if she turns on Mercedes and challenges her for the TBS Championship in the future.
