AEW CEO Tony Khan has revealed the reasons behind Queen Aminata’s promotion from ROH to AEW television. Aminata, who has been with AEW since 2021, has appeared regularly on AEW TV recently, largely due to an injury in the women’s division that affected star Jamie Hayter, whom Khan supports. Khan explained, “With injuries in both AEW and ROH, we had to adjust plans for several matches, especially in the women’s division. These changes have had a domino effect, resulting in shifts in roles for some talent.” He commended Aminata for her hard work and said she made the most of the opportunity. “Queen Aminata has done a fantastic job on AEW TV these past few weeks. While she has occasionally appeared in ROH, her recent prominent involvement on AEW TV is new and well-deserved, coming as a result of some injuries in the roster.” Khan also noted that Jamie Hayter’s injury, which reportedly prevents her from returning to the ring, forced AEW to revise original plans involving her and Thekla, leading to more talent movement from ROH to AEW.
Fan Take: This update highlights AEW’s adaptability in the face of setbacks, showcasing rising talents like Queen Aminata who can step up when needed. For AEW fans, it signals exciting new dynamics in the women’s division and promises fresh matchups that could invigorate the sport.
