Backstage updates have emerged regarding the contract situations of two AEW wrestlers who have been off television for a while.

Ruby Soho, who signed with AEW in 2021, has been off television since announcing her pregnancy in April 2024. She and her husband Angelo Parker welcomed their child in October 2024.

The other AEW star who has been absent for a while is Serena Deeb. She last competed on the November 28, 2025, episode of ROH TV. She lost to Yuka Sakazaki in the quarterfinals of the Women’s Pure Championship Tournament.

Sean Ross Sapp addressed Ruby Soho and Serena Deeb’s AEW contract status on the latest edition of Fightful Select Answers Q&A. He noted that Soho is still signed to the company. It was reported in August that she was backstage at a TV taping in Cincinnati the previous month and received medical clearance for an in-ring return. Sapp also stated that there were creative pitches for her, which didn’t materialize. It was also mentioned that her husband Angelo Parker’s contract was nearing its end. However, there are currently no updates about his status with the promotion.

The report also confirmed that Serena Deeb is still under contract with AEW. She last competed at the HAW Rise From The Ashes IV event in March 2026, which remains her only in-ring outing this year.

It was also reported that there is no information about when Serena Deeb and Ruby Soho might return to AEW.
