Former AEW Star Announced for New WWE Show

Former AEW wrestler Kylie Rae features prominently in preview video for WWE Evolve, the new replacement show for NXT Level Up debuting this Wednesday on Tubi and YouTube.

Former AEW talent Kylie Rae has been confirmed as part of the roster for WWE Evolve, the company’s new developmental show. WWE featured Rae prominently in a preview video that aired during the Elimination Chamber countdown show, highlighting her upcoming role on the program.

WWE Evolve debuts this Wednesday, March 5, on Tubi for U.S. viewers and on YouTube for international audiences. The show serves as a replacement for NXT Level Up and will showcase Performance Center trainees, WWE ID prospects, and NXT talents not currently featured on television.

Rae’s connection to AEW dates back to 2019 when she joined the promotion during its early days. Her time with the company was brief, lasting only a few months before her departure. Following her AEW exit, Rae worked with both TNA and NWA, building her reputation on the independent circuit.

This isn’t Rae’s first interaction with WWE. She previously appeared on Main Event in late 2022, competing under the name Briana Ray, indicating the company had interest in her talents before this current opportunity.

The preview video also confirmed several other performers for WWE Evolve including Keanu Carver, Riley Osborne, Gallus, Dani Palmer, Kendal Grey, Carlee Bright, Brinley Reece, and Zayda Steel. These talents represent a mix of developmental wrestlers seeking to establish themselves in WWE’s system.
