Naomi returned to the Stamford-based promotion at Royal Rumble 2024 and only went up from there. The Glow won the Women's Money in the Bank Contract in June this year, and a month later, cashed it in at WWE Evolution to claim the Women's World Championship. However, in August, Naomi had to relinquish the title due to pregnancy, and she's been on a hiatus ever since. Recently, Naomi reacted to a post by AEW on Instagram, which was a video package about former two-time WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Lacey Lane (fka Kayden Carter) challenging Mercedes Mone for her TBS title at Dynamite: Title Tuesday. This bout also marked Lane's debut on All Elite Wrestling programming.

Lacey Lane lost her debut match in AEW
Lacey Lane's (fka Kayden Carter) debut in the Jacksonville-based promotion was highly anticipated, and her performance did not disappoint as she put up an intense fight against Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship. Although Lane came close to winning with several near falls, the CEO secured the victory with a decisive pin after hitting the Mone Maker.

Shouts to Lacey Lane...two really good matches with Mercedes Mone and Mina Shirakawa the last few weeks #AEWDynamite
Despite the loss, the erstwhile Kayden Carter was lauded for her effort online, who had called her bout with the CEO a dream match in the past. It will be interesting to see what Tony Khan has planned for Lane going forward.
