AEW-CMLL Partnership Expands with Edwards’ Debut
The relationship between AEW and CMLL has been growing, marked by AEW referee Bryce Remsberg’s appearance in CMLL earlier this year. Remsberg joined the Mexican promotion’s March 29 event, where AEW talents like Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, and Matt Sydal competed. Edwards’ debut signals a new level of involvement in CMLL events, demonstrating the deepening collaboration between these two wrestling giants.
For Edwards, this new role reflects her broad impact in the wrestling industry. Known off-camera as Brittany Aubert, Edwards’ journey into professional wrestling began after a successful career in the video game industry, where she worked for over six years on popular games like Scribblenauts. With a background in classical ballet and software engineering, Edwards brings a unique mix of discipline, precision, and creativity to her refereeing style.
In AEW, she quickly became a fan favorite and made history as the first woman to referee a professional wrestling world championship match on pay-per-view. In addition to refereeing, she serves as AEW’s project coordinator and co-hosts the popular podcast AEW Unrestricted alongside Tony Schiavone.
