Former WWE Superstar Cameron made her AEW debut on the latest episode of Dynamite. The former member of The Funkadactyls was revealed as Nyla Rose's tag team partner for the upcoming Women's Tag Team Cup Tournament.

Cameron will go by her real name Ariane Andrew in All Elite Wrestling. You can check out the backstage segment in which she made her debut:

After being scouted as part of WWE's Divas Search in 2011, Cameron was featured in that year's Tough Enough series. Despite being the first to get eliminated, WWE would end up signing the Superstar to a full-time deal, and she reported to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) - WWE's former developmental system.

Cameron made her main roster debut as part of The Funkadactyls alongside Naomi and Brodus Clay. While Naomi went on to establish herself as a credible singles competitor, Cameron never really broke through the ranks in the WWE, and she was released from the company in May, 2016.

Cameron would take an extended hiatus from wrestling as she didn't wrestle a single match since her release in 2016.

During an interview with DS Shin of Ring The Belle in January earlier this year, Cameron had revealed her plans of returning to wrestling.

You know I had to do the regular DDT when people can't base me because that one requires a group effort. I just felt that it was very flashy and cute and I actually had come up with another finisher when I was down in NXT as my comeback -- no you guys didn't get to see that, but maybe you guys will in the future. I may have an announcement to possibly make. Who knows what it's about? Hmm, to possibly, maybe come back in WWE. I don't know, maybe. But I don't know, who's to say? I don't know." H/t Fightful
