The AEW Era: Evolution and Alliances
After gaining experience with Shine Wrestling, Coastal Championship Wrestling, and the World Wrestling Network, Cameron debuted in AEW in July 2022 under her current name, Harley Cameron. Her initial appearance on AEW Dark saw her lose to Willow Nightingale, marking the start of her tenure with the promotion.
From Heel to Outcast
In 2023, Cameron transitioned into a heel (a wrestling antagonist) and joined QTV, a stable led by Q.T. Marshall. Following the disbandment of QTV in late 2023, she was introduced to Saraya by Ruby Soho, joining The Outcasts as a replacement for Toni Storm. This period culminated in her Dynamite in-ring debut on May 8, 2024, in a match against Mariah May.
The Face Turn and the "Mini Moné" Saga
Early 2025 marked a significant shift as Cameron turned face (a wrestling protagonist). She entered a high-profile feud with Mercedes Moné over the AEW TBS Championship. Cameron gained significant fan attention by employing her ventriloquism skills, using a hand puppet named "Mini Moné" to taunt her opponent. Although she lost to Moné at Grand Slam Australia on February 15, the feud established her as a charismatic presence.

Championship Success and the Babes of Wrath
Following a street fight loss alongside Anna Jay against Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford, and a brief hiatus to recover from a nose injury, Cameron returned at All In on July 12. She soon formed a powerhouse alliance with Willow Nightingale, creating the tag team known as the Babes of Wrath.
The duo made history by competing in the first-ever women's Blood & Guts match on November 12. Their momentum peaked during the tournament for the inaugural AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships. The Babes of Wrath defeated Mercedes Moné and Athena, the Sisters of Sin, and finally the Timeless Love Bombs to claim the titles, marking the first championship victory of Cameron's career.
