Megan Bayne: Going To Japan Was The Biggest Turning Point For My Career

Megan Bayne changed her career in Japan.

While she is in the midst of her first championship reign in AEW, Bayne is reflecting back on her first tour in Japan and how it was a major turning point for her career in general. The ‘Megasus’ spoke about this in a new interview with The Pop Break.

“I think that going to Japan was the biggest turning point in my career, because when I went there for the first time, it was for six straight months. Recently, I’ve done some back and forth, like there for a few days, back in America for a few days, but my first tour was six straight months in Japan, every single show. And that’s why I feel so fortunate to be in AEW as well, because we are able to have these working relationships with other companies, like Stardom, and I think they have some of the most driven and talented women in the world.”

Continuing on, Bayne talked about being a completely different performer when she returned from her first stint in Japan.

So, being alongside them, in those six months I didn’t feel myself changing and developing the way that I did, but when I came back to the States I was just an entirely different wrestler; you just have no choice but to step up, because that’s the environment that you’re around. So I feel like my biggest development definitely happened there, and I was able to roll that back over into then it felt like my career was really starting and I was becoming a major player in this game.”
