AEW has given a lot of people opportunities, and it’s always interesting to see when someone gets a tryout. Fans may need to pay attention to referees in AEW matches in the weeks to come, because they just may spot a new face.
Aubrey Edwards used AEW as a platform and became a celebrity within the pro wrestling world. She has quite a spot in AEW, as Chris Jericho’s favorite referee, but she may have some female company on the referee roster soon enough.
Sean Sapp noted behind Fightful’s paywall that AEW tried out a new female referee last week before Collision. It isn’t known if they are going to offer her a deal, but Gina Monti got a shot last week.
“AEW tried out referee Gina Monti ahead of this past week’s AEW Collision show.”
AEW gives their referees a chance to display aspects of their own characters, as Aubrey Edwards is quite animated, and that has garnered her a lot of attention. Only time will tell if Gina Monti works out, and she becomes AEW second female official.
