AEW has signed Red Velvet (Stephanie Cardona) to a contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Cody Rhodes announced the signing on his Twitter page.
Powell’s POV: I’m surprised that she wasn’t sign sooner. Velvet has been impressive and is a good signing for the company (even if I remain baffled by her choice of a ring name).

Like most AEW signings, the real question is why?
She can do some moves, and seems like a decent athlete, but nothing she does looks like it would crack and egg and she has no idea how to actually work a match. Another green indy signing with almost no chance of being a good worker.
