Lady Frost officially became a free agent on April 1, 2026, after her AEW contract expired. The news came as a surprise to many pro wrestling fans, as few expected her to depart from Tony Khan’s promotion. She has now opened up about the reasons behind her exit.
In an exclusive interview with Sean Ross Sapp on the Fightful Overbooked Podcast, Lady Frost was asked about her time in AEW and her relationship with the company. She explained the terms of her contract and the main factors that led to her departure.
Here is what she told Sean Ross Sapp:
“So we had just started filming Ring of Honor in Florida in Orlando, doing the tapings, and I was getting per appearance but I was actually getting flown in so I wasn’t a true extra at the time. So I was working per appearance and then in 2022, I believe I was signed to a full one-year per appearance deal and that was an AEW contract. As far as I know, I don’t think they have Ring of Honor contracts. So I went from working one year per appearance and then they signed me to a two-year with three-year option contract after that, which was a straight AEW contract. I did a couple of AEW matches. They kind of bounced me around. There was really never any direction. But again, very thankful for my time there. I did have a good time there. Obviously no one wants to sit. I mean, some people might like to sit in catering or at home getting paid. I don’t. I like to work. I would rather be in the ring doing what I love. So yeah, it was almost four years that I was there. The first year, like I said, not under contract, three years under contract. But I don’t think a lot of people knew I was signed. I didn’t get graphic. I’m not being on anything. It really was a good chapter for me but I’m excited for the next one.”
Lady Frost has already signed with Major League Wrestling (MLW) and is no longer a free agent. When asked what made her land on MLW, this is what she shared:
“Honestly they called right away and it was the phone call I think I needed to hear. They have been following me for a long time. I showed up to a taping about six years ago. I wasn’t even an extra. Just to get my name out there and they remembered me and have been following my journey. I posted, I think, which created a good amount of interest. A promo package, a vignette. And they said we love your work. And I said that’s the direction I want to go, that’s kinda where I see my career going. They wanted me on board, letting me be creative and be who I want to be as an artist and pro wrestler. So I loved the call. I thought it was a really great fit for right now, so that’s where I landed.”
It will be interesting to see how AEW fans react to Lady Frost’s comments about her departure. However, given her clear dedication to her craft and desire to work regularly, MLW fans appear to be in for an exciting ride in the coming months.
