For those wondering, the “fan” who appeared during the Brandi Rhodes/Awesome Kong “Nightmare Collective” segment has been identified. The fan who came into the ring and allowed for her hair to be cut off was indie wrestler Melanie Cruise. Cruise signed with AEW within the last month or so and this will not be a one-off appearance for her:
