Harley Cameron responds to criticism of AEW ‘wardrobe malfunction’

Harley Cameron doesn’t agree with fans who have criticized her backstage segment with Mina Shirakawa from AEW Dynamite this week.

On Wednesday’s show, there was a comedic moment where Shirakawa — who was trying to motivate her new tag team partner — ripped off the shirt Cameron was wearing. It was played off like Shirakawa expected Cameron to be wearing her wrestling gear, but she only had a bra on under the shirt.

Cameron spoke about the scripted “wardrobe malfunction” during an interview with ESPN South Florida on Friday. For anyone who thought it was objectifying, Cameron pointed out that her wrestling gear isn’t actually that much different than this bra she had on.

“Look, Mina got all riled and she just thought I was wearing my gear underneath, which I wasn’t. And you know what? For everyone who had a heart attack over it, let me just preface the fact that my wrestling gear is actually like just a bra,” Cameron said. “I wrestle in a bra, if anyone takes care to notice. So for everyone that was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ I’m like, Mina’s next to me in a — our gear is bras. So, you know, she just thought I was in my wrestling gear. But I was in the wrong material…

“For anyone that was a little bit taken aback, I mean, guys, watch my matches. I wear a lot less.”

Before this paring with Shirakawa, Cameron teamed with Willow Nightingale and had a three-month reign as the inaugural AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions. Shirakawa’s previous tag team partner was Toni Storm. In their first match as a team, Cameron & Shirakawa lost to Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida on Wednesday.

In 2025, Cameron had a breakout year and was recognized as the Most Improved wrestler in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards. She told ESPN South Florida that she’s grateful for how Tony Khan has allowed her to learn on the fly after debuting in 2022.

“Tony took a risk hiring someone so new as me,” Cameron said. “And I’m so thankful for him, because I owe him my career. And like I said, I was just lucky that I was prepared and that I was given an opportunity. And then he’s been so amazing in letting me grow my wrestling skills in the company.”

AEW Collision notes: Next week’s show moved, Babes of Wrath

Notes from AEW Collision.

During Saturday’s show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa it was noted that next week’s Collision would air on a different day this coming week: Thursday at 8 pm ET, as NCAA basketball coverage is scheduled to take place during its normal timeslot. A replay of Thursday’s show, however, is scheduled to air on TNT at 11:30 ET that night.

In the opening match, the Babes of Wrath failed to win back the AEW Women’s Tag Team titles, losing to Divine Dominion after Harley Cameron took a double chokeslam. Later backstage, Cameron apologized for letting everyone down while Nightingale rejected the idea, choosing instead to reflect on all of their big moments as a team. When Cameron asked what they do now, Nightingale suggested focusing on other things. Cameron pushed Nightingale to focus on the TBS Championship and told her tag team partner she’d always be in her corner. 

The two were the first-ever Women’s Tag Team Champions, having won them in a tournament final back in December. Although Nightingale successfully defended the TBS title against Lena Kross during Revolution’s Zero Hour pre-show, the Babes of Wrath lost the titles to Kross and Megan Bayne during the main card.

Two new matches part of updated AEW Dynamite lineup

Bayne and Ford will also be accompanied to the ring by their new manager, Lena Kross.

In addition to the title bout, Khan also announced a Mile High Madness Anything Goes match where Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona, Dax Harwood, Cash Wheeler, and Ricochet will take on Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, and Jack Perry.

Harley Cameron: Wrestlers ‘aren’t just numbers’ to Tony Khan

Harley Cameron loves working for Tony Khan because of how much he cares about everyone on the AEW roster.

While speaking with radio station 107.7 The Bone, Cameron discussed how “special” it is to have Khan as a boss. She feels Khan has created a workplace where everyone is valued as an individual, which is a rare thing for any job even outside of pro wrestling.

“Oh yeah,” Cameron responded when asked if the passion Khan shows in public exists behind the scenes. “Tony is passionate and he cares. We aren’t just numbers. This isn’t a thing that makes you feel like you’re a part of the machine. He will sit and be there every single match, and he will talk to you after your match and he will genuinely be excited and be thankful. The craziest thing in the world is that you’re there to do your job, but you’re treated like somebody and really seen. And I think what makes that so special is the fact that a lot of workplaces, in all industries, don’t have that. Like, how rare is it to have a boss that is that excited and passionate and cares about you as an individual.

“So Tony cares about us as individuals, and I think that that is so special and it is something that we’re very lucky to have. He’s there for every single match, he’s there for every single show, he doesn’t miss anything. And then when you come back behind those curtains, he is there for you, and he’s excited for you, and he’s supportive. And I think that in itself is so special.”

Cameron credited Khan for coming up with the idea to pair her with Willow Nightingale. The two are the inaugural AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions and have a title defense against Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford coming up at AEW Grand Slam Australia this Saturday.

Becoming a champion so soon into her career is a “huge honor” for Cameron. She told 107.7 The Bone that QT Marshall, Orange Cassidy, Jon Moxley, and Nigel McGuinness are some of the people who have helped her out behind the scenes.

“These people don’t have to be giving me their time of day, you know? They’re established and they’re doing their own thing, and yet they’re taking their time to come and do that,” Cameron said. “I think that’s really admirable and really special. And that’s why it’s such a great sense of community at our workplace.”

Harley Cameron says Saraya is ‘pretty close-lipped’ about her future

Harley Cameron recently discussed who in AEW has helped her develop during an interview with TMZ.

Cameron is now one-half of the inaugural AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions along with Willow Nightingale as The Babes of Wrath and says her success in the company can be attributed to many people who have helped her develop over the two and a half years she’s been there.

In particular, Cameron mentioned Saraya as one of her best friends and somebody she has learned from.

“I love her. She’s one of my best friends, and she’s just one of the best people. I attribute a lot of my career development and growth to her, and I learned so much from her. I learned so much about wrestling on television, and it was so lucky to be put in that position with her because I feel like I got a decade of experience just working with her in the year that we got to be together.”

“We’re still very close. We stay in touch. I see her all the time. I’m really excited for whatever her future holds, and I miss her a lot.”

Asked about Saraya recently posting training footage, Cameron responded that Saraya has been close-lipped about what is next for her.

Cameron continued:

“She’s been pretty close-lipped about what’s coming next, but I think she obviously took some time away, and I know she’s been doing some great things outside of the wrestling world and staying really busy.”

“I think she’s definitely at a point in her life where whatever she does next, she’s going all in. So I’m really excited to see what that is.”

Cameron was also asked about other wrestlers in AEW she is close with or has learned from. She responded that both Kris Statlander and Orange Cassidy have helped her develop.

Cameron said:

“Kris Statlander is awesome. She’s someone who, from day one, has always given me the time of day. I’ll message her, ‘Will you come in early and train with me?’ and she’s just always said yes. She’s so helpful and always goes the extra mile to help me. She’s awesome.

“Orange Cassidy is another person who goes out of his way to help me train and puts in his time he doesn’t have to dedicate. He trains a lot of us, actually. Some of us will get together in the morning before shows, and he’ll run a full training session for everyone. He’s great. He’s honestly just one of the best humans alive.

“And I also love Tony Schiavone,” Cameron added. She also mentioned training with Nigel McGuinness from time to time.

Harley Cameron performs ‘Babes of Wrath’ song at AEW Worlds End post-event scrum

Harley Cameron found an interesting way to address the media at the AEW Worlds End post-event media scrum.

Cameron brought out a guitar while the Conglomeration were being interviewed, dedicating a song she just wrote to her Babes of Wrath tag team partner, Willow Nightingale.

She titled the song “Babes of Wrath” and some of the lyrics include:

“I wasn’t looking but now that I’ve found her, if I let you go I’d be crazy. You’re so damn strong, I love your power bomb. Everything you do is amazing.

I wrote this song hoping you’d sing along, little bit of something I’m confessing.

And it feels so right, it feels like I’ve tagged with you my entire life.
And I’ve just done that, we’re your AEW Tag Team Champions and we’re the Babes of Wrath!

Babes of Wrath!
Babes of Wrath!
Babes of Wrath!”

Following Cameron’s musical performance, she and Nightingale were asked about their win over Athena and Mercedes Mone on the pay-per-view.

“We knew we were up for a challenge but I am proud to say that we brought it, and we delivered and we are still your AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions tonight,” Cameron continued.

Tony Khan then noted that Nightingale got the pin over the TBS Champion at Worlds End and is now scheduled to challenge Mone for her title on Dynamite this Wednesday.

Cameron’s song begins at the 13:20 mark of the interview. The video below is cued.

AEW star Harley Cameron to make Pro Wrestling Eve debut

AEW star Harley Cameron is heading to the United Kingdom for a big indie show in March 2026.

All-women’s promotion Pro Wrestling Eve announced today that Cameron will compete at Wrestle Queendom 8 on Sunday, March 8. It will be Cameron’s first time wrestling for the promotion, though her opponent has yet to be confirmed.

In AEW, Cameron and her tag team partner Willow Nightingale were recently crowned the inaugural Women’s Tag Team Champions. They have a title defense this coming weekend against Mercedes Mone & Athena at AEW Worlds End.

Will Ospreay — Cameron’s AEW colleague — is involved with helping Pro Wrestling Eve behind the scenes.

Harley Cameron on AEW Women’s Tag title win: ‘No one can take that away from me’

Harley Cameron says that no matter where her wrestling journey goes, nobody will ever be able to take away that she and Willow Nightingale made history.

Cameron was a guest on Monday’s edition of The Ariel Helwani Show and was asked about winning the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships at Winter is Coming.

“It was amazing. I think that it represents faith in you as a competitor, as a performer,” she answered.

“Being with Willow, who I absolutely adore, getting to make history together and being the first ever AEW Tag Team Champions is something that I’m like ‘Wow.’ There’s ups and downs in life, and there’s ebbs and flows in the business in general, but there’s monumental moments like this where you go, ‘Well, no one can take that away from me.’

And that no matter which way the journey goes, there’s moments that you can look back and be proud of, and I’m so elated that I get to have that moment.”

The Babes of Wrath will defend their titles on Saturday at AEW Worlds End against TBS Champion Mercedes Mone and ROH Women’s World Champion Athena. It will be a rematch from the quarterfinal match the two teams had in the title tournament on November 5.

When asked about a potential dream match, Cameron didn’t look past her upcoming pay-per-view match against Athena and Mone.

“I will say truthfully we have Worlds End coming up, obviously, Willow and I against Mercedes and Athena. I think that our first tag match against them was one of my favorite matches I’ve ever had in my life and I genuinely am so excited for that. When I had a taste of it the first time, it was one of those matches that stays with you and makes you go, ‘Gosh, I’d love to face them again.'”

Cameron also discussed her history with ventriloquism on the show, bringing out a puppet named Earl. She also gifted Helwani a “My Buddy” doll. A clip of this part of the show is available below:

QT Marshall was proud to see one of his former QTV pupils win gold on AEW Dynamite last night.

At Winter is Coming 2025, Harley Cameron & Willow Nightingale defeated Mina Shirakawa & Toni Storm to become the inaugural AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions. It’s the first-ever title win for Cameron, who has progressed from her early days in QTV to becoming one of the most improved wrestlers in AEW.

“Genuinely proud of this woman! The true definition of when talent plus hard work equals success,” Marshall tweeted. “Anything she’s ever given, she knocks it out of the park! More than that, the best human being! An honor calling you a friend, but now I get to call you a champion!”

  • Harley Cameron spoke to TV Insider about how important her program with Mercedes Mone was to her career:
    • I think working with Mercedes was such an important part of my career growth because when you have the opportunity to work with one of the greats. Obviously, there are a lot of eyes on the individual who has credibility and star power. It was an amazing position and opportunity for me. I definitely think it allowed me the screen time to show my performance ability in entertaining, which is where I had the experience in. She pushed me more to prove something in the ring and it definitely gave me that fire that made me think I needed to level up and work harder. I credit her massively to my growth. I think this year without that opportunity, I wouldn’t have had the year I had. Which has been a fantastic one.
  • Camron credited Nigel McGuinness, Orange Cassidy, Shawn Spears, and Tyler Breeze for helping her train:
    • I think I got put into a very good position with very little experience, so it’s important for me to put the work in. I want to make sure to show I deserve to be there. A lot of people have been really gracious with their time. I definitely want to thank especially Nigel McGuinness. He is someone who trains with me almost every morning before work. Orange Cassidy, I’ve been training with him a lot too. When I’m home, I’ll train with Tyler Breeze and Shawn Spears. I definitely try to train whenever I can because I know if anything doesn’t go to plan, I can look back and say, ‘I’m doing everything I can.’ I’m still learning as I’m going on TV. It’s a lot of work when you’re on TV, so I feel the expectation is high. I want to make sure I put the work in.
