Aerial Hull,[1] better known by the ring name Big Swole, is an American professional wrestler. She is best known for her tenure in All Elite Wrestling from 2019 to 2021.
Early life
[edit | edit source]Hull was born in the Tampa suburb of Clearwater, Florida.[2] She went to Clearwater High School and served in the United States Air Force as a fire truck mechanic.[3] She then began her professional wrestling training in North Carolina under George South.[2]
Professional wrestling career
[edit | edit source]Hull made her professional wrestling debut in 2015.[2] She made an appearance on Raw in August 2016 as Aerial Monroe, during which she competed against Nia Jax in a losing effort.[4] She then competed in the 2018 Mae Young Classic tournament,[5] where she was defeated by Zeuxis in the first round.[6] On August 10, 2019, Hull defeated Zoe Lucas to become the Phoenix of Rise Champion.[7]
On August 31, she appeared in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) under the ring name Big Swole, competing in a 21-woman Casino Battle Royale on the All Out pre-show.[8] In December 2019, AEW announced that Big Swole had signed with the promotion.[9] After making multiple appearances on Dark,[10] Swole made her Dynamite debut on December 11, during which she scored a victory over Emi Sakura in singles competition.[11] In June 2020, she began a rivalry with Britt Baker, which led to her abducting Baker and tossing her into a trash bin during an episode of Dynamite; she was suspended in July for this act.[12][13] Swole defeated Baker in a Tooth and Nail match, which was taped at Baker's dental office, on September 5 at All Out.[14] On November 30, 2021, Swole announced her departure from AEW,[15] which she later attributed to deficits in structure and diversity; in response, AEW president Tony Khan stated that he "let Swole's contract expire as I felt her wrestling wasn't good enough", whilst giving examples of the diverse structure in management (including himself) & the many diverse performers who had been successful in AEW.[16]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Hull married fellow professional wrestler Cedric Johnson, better known as Cedric Alexander, in June 2018.[4] The couple has a daughter named Adessah.[2] Hull suffers from Crohn's disease.[17]
