Regarded as one of the most promising babyface wrestlers on the independent circuit upon joining AEW, Rae appeared set for a huge role in the young company in 2019, when Cody Rhodes, and others, talked her up as a prospect. Kylie worked just one bout for the company, facing Britt Baker, Awesome Kong, and Nyla Rose in a Double Or Nothing 2019 four-way. She was then set to face Leva Bates at Fyter Fest the following month, though she was replaced by Allie.

AEW founder and CEO Tony Khan then announced after August's All Out pay-per-view that AEW and Rae had parted ways amicably. Kylie, 30, has since worked for such promotions as IMPACT Wrestling and the NWA, and is currently active on the indies, having taken several hiatuses from wrestling over the years.
