Where In The World Is AEW's Kylie Rae?

The Double Or Nothing standout hasn't been seen since June.

Kylie Rae emerged as a potential AEW women's division vanguard at Double Or Nothing back in May, where she wrestled Britt Baker and Nyla Rose. Though she lost that night, a lively, personality-packed babyface showing got her over as one to watch, though it's all gone quiet for 'Smiley Kylie' since then.

Absent from both Fyter Fest and Fight for the Fallen, Rae hasn't wrestled since appearing on a Freelance Wrestling show on 14 June. Speculation ran amok for weeks before Dave Meltzer eventually reported in a July edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the 27-year-old was out with an unknown medical issue. Though it was noted that she'd be back soon, further updates haven't been forthcoming.

Rae isn't currently booked for this Saturday's All Out pay-per-view. Earlier this month, eagle-eyed fans noticed that she had deleted her Twitter account. She hasn't made a single public appearance or announcement since then.

Let's hope that whatever's going on with Rae isn't too serious and that she's well enough to return to professional wrestling before long, perhaps as a surprise entrant in All Out's Casino Battle Royale - the winner of which will compete for AEW's Women's World Championship.
