Independent wrestling legend LuFisto will make her debut for All Elite Wrestling this week.

Tonight's episode of AEW Dark: Elevation will see LuFisto team with company regulars The Bunny and Emi Sakura to face Anna Jay, Ruby Soho, and Skye Blue. The bout was taped in Boston, Massachusetts last Wednesday (6 April), so spoilers are out there if you want them.

A wrestler since 1997, when she debuted as Lucifer at just 17 years old, LuFisto rose to national prominence in the 2000s. Competing for such independent groups as CZW, IMA-MS, and Shimmer Women Athletes, she became a vanguard-like figure and a standard-bearer through wars with the likes of Mercedes Martinez, Mickie Knuckles, Nicole Savoy, and countless others, and has worked 12 matches in 2022 so far, competing in Beyond, wXw, and more.
