Megan Bayne makes AEW Dynamite debut at Maximum Carnage

Megan Bayne has made her AEW Dynamite debut.

Bayne has returned to AEW for the first time in over 18 months as a surprise entrant in Wednesday’s women’s Casino Gauntlet match at Dynamite Maximum Carnage.

AEW used Bayne primarily in an enhancement role between 2021 and 2022, before she suffered a torn ACL that sidelined her. After rehabbing the injury, Bayne’s last AEW appearance took place on a Rampage episode in July 2023.

This Dynamite debut played much differently than her prior enhancement work, as Bayne is billed at 5’11”, and immediately went toe-to-toe with women’s division stalwarts Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander in Wednesday’s Casino Gauntlet won by Toni Storm.

Bayne is a former OVW Women’s Champion, and was trained by Al Snow. She toured Japan as part of the Stardom roster in 2023 and 2024. She has also been a featured member of the GCW roster throughout 2024 and 2025.
