New signee aligns with Megabad at AEW Grand Slam Australia
More than two months after signing her, AEW finally unveiled Lena Kross at Saturday’s Grand Slam Australia.
The 30-year-old appeared after the Babes of Wrath successfully defended their AEW Women’s Tag Team titles against Megabad’s Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford. After the match, Kross ran in and laid out Cameron and then assisted Bayne and Ford in a post-match attack on the champions. She and Bayne had a staredown before Ford brought them together with the title belt which they posed with.
Kross is from Australia and has been a pro since 2017. She made her AEW debut on a July 2025 edition of Collision, losing to Kris Statlander in just 90 seconds. She then appeared on an ROH dark match in September 2025, defeating fellow new signee Lacey Lane.
AEW head Tony Khan later made the signing official on X.
Kross wrestled once for TNA back in July 2025 who reportedly had interest in signing her before AEW got her first. She hasn’t wrestled anywhere since last December, losing to Gabby Forza at a JCW event. She has both competed against and teamed with Bayne in the past.
