Queen Aminata is stranded in the UK, and told fans via her Instagram stories that she probably won't fly home "until Thursday at least - possibly a bit longer". Unfortunately, the AEW star had her backpack stolen at some point over the weekend. That bag contained her debit and credit cards, driver’s license, United States passport, glasses, medication and even her phone charger.

Instead of panicking about the situation, Aminata said she's "laughing about it right now". Clearly, she would like to get her stuff back safely then hop a flight back home though. At the end of her update, the wrestler said: "It’s alright, though. Everything happens for a reason. Thank you guys for showing the love and support".

Aminata teamed with Harley Cameron, Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale in a losing effort vs. Julia Hart, Skye Blue, Thekla and Megan Bayne during the 'Zero Hour' pre-show before Forbidden Door 2025 went live on pay-per-view. Perhaps the most memorable thing about Aminata's night is that she was part of Jamie Hayter's popular return in front of a booming London crowd inside the O2 Arena.

Queen Aminata has been considered one of Tony Khan's top prospects for a few years now, and has shown real promise every time she's stepped between the ropes on episodes of Dynamite, Collision, old 'C' show Rampage and even on Ring Of Honor shows.

Aminata revealed during her announcement that her backpack was actually stolen on Saturday before Forbidden Door went down on the Sunday. That had to send her into the event on a real downer, but she remains hopeful that she'll be back on US soil soon. Fingers crossed the authorities can sort things out for her quickly.
