Kiera Hogan’s time with All Elite Wrestling has officially reached its conclusion. The performer has been removed from the company’s roster page, closing a chapter that had already been in question after more than a year without an appearance on AEW or Ring of Honor programming.
Her status had become the subject of speculation, particularly following her participation in the Zeus network reality show Joseline’s Cabaret: California, where she described professional wrestling as a “stepping stone” for her broader career ambitions. The remark drew attention and criticism, leading Hogan to release a public statement clarifying her position.
“Yes, I said, ‘pro wrestling was always going to be a stepping stone for other things.’ And I meant that. Because wrestling has always been my first love — but I’m multi-talented and unapologetically ambitious. I knew from the jump that wrestling would open doors for me in fashion, TV, and beyond. Just like it has for so many others before me. Y’all cheer when wrestlers land movie roles, runway shows, or makeup deals… but get mad when I say it out loud? I’m not here to play small or limit myself to one lane. I’m here to build an empire. — The Hottest Flame”
Hogan’s activities outside the ring were not without consequence. During filming of the show, she suffered a dislocated shoulder in a physical altercation, an injury that further limited her in-ring schedule. In 2025, her only recorded match took place at an ASÉ Vegas event this past spring.
The removal from AEW’s official website now provides definitive confirmation of her exit, marking the end of her tenure with the promotion.
