Lady Frost Explains Why She Signed With MLW
Lady Frost is officially Major League, having signed with MLW just hours into her free agency period. Frost was previously with AEW, appearing a handful of times on AEW Collision and on ROH TV. She last wrestled on AEW TV on the January 10 episode of AEW Collision, losing to Mina Shirakawa.
Frost’s deal with AEW expired at midnight on April 1.
“I was only a free agent for a matter of hours, we can say, which feels pretty good,” Frost told Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp.
Asked how the deal with MLW came together, Frost replied, “Honestly, they called right away and it was the phone call that I think I needed to hear. They have been following me for a long time. I showed up to a taping about six years ago. I wasn’t even an extra, just to get my name out there. They remembered me and have been following my journey. I posted, I think, which created a good amount of interest, a promo package and vignette, and they said, ‘We love your work.’ I said, ‘That’s the direction that I want to go. This is kind of where I see my career going.’ They wanted to be on board with letting me be creative and who I want to be as an artist and pro wrestler. So I loved the call and I thought it was a really great fit for right now. So that’s where I landed.”
Frost was introduced rather coldly on AEW television, thrown into matches without much build, where the focus was typically on her opponent.
Though she wrestled Mariah May (Blake Monroe in WWE), Toni Storm, Thekla, Kris Statlander, and other champions or former champions, Frost never recorded a victory on AEW TV.
Frost filmed an Ice Cold Killer vignette that never made air, though she pitched it to the company.

“That’s actually something that I filmed last year. I was trying to present options to my former employer saying, ‘Here’s how I see myself. This is what I kind of want to get into.’ I did that on my own dime, my own time. [Dani Venen] filmed it. She is absolutely incredible. I had so many ideas in my brain. I said, ‘I want it to look like this,feel like this, sound like this,’ and somehow she created exactly what I wanted to present.
“I went on and I passed that to producers, agents, everyone in AEW that I could think of. It didn’t get used, it wasn’t produced. So when I knew I was not getting renewed, I dropped the promo on my own. I think everyone was like, ‘Holy shit, what is this?’ Because I wasn’t really given the opportunity to express any of that. So it was great to hear the feedback and the response because that came right from my brain. I didn’t have help. It wasn’t someone pushing the machine. It was just, ‘Here’s what I want to offer,’ and I think a lot of people really took to that.”
Frost spent time in CMLL and on the independent scene while still competing for AEW and ROH.
