Over the years, Tony Khan has signed some incredible names to the AEW roster. Stars like Megan Bayne, Thekla, and JetSpeed have been some of the great signings by All Elite Wrestling. Recently, the Jacksonville-based promotion signed a new star to its roster, sparking an interesting reaction from the fans.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported that AEW signed Tatevik in the fall of 2025. The 36-year-old has competed in various promotions like NJPW and OVW in her career. She made her debut in All Elite Wrestling in March last year when she faced Harley Cameron on an episode of Collision. Tatevik’s singing sparked massive buzz among fans online.
People on the platform X sarcastically called it an incredible signing. They said WWE should have used her to play Sister Abigail in the company. Moreover, fans were curious to see what is in store for Tatevik in AEW, many predicting she would be the first female member of The Don Callis Family.
Awesome. It’s a shame WWE never gave her a shot with her Sister Abigail gimmick

Furthermore, some X users also criticized Tony Khan for not using the 36-year-old star for the company, despite having signed her long ago. They said that it is naive to sign the talent so early and not use them anywhere on the show. But some people had other opinions as well; they highlighted Britt Baker’s absence from the ongoing programming, calling for the signing of new female talent to the roster while a star like her is home.
And they have her doing nothing sadly
