Skye Blue discusses finally getting an All Elite graphic.
On April 7, 2023, Skye Blue officially received her All Elite graphic, thus confirming her signing with the promotion. Blue became a regular in All Elite Wrestling after taking part in the Casino Battle Royale at the All Out pay-per-view in 2021.
In a new interview with AEW's Unrestricted podcast, Blue talked about finally getting her graphic and told a heartwarming story about how she shared the news with her mother.
“I cried a lot [laughs]. I remember my first extra work was still during the pandemic days in Jacksonville, I remember being terrified. I remember being an extra in that crowd shaking and that was actually [my friend’s] first day of extra work, which was really freaking awesome. But I remember sitting there and being like ‘Crap, that’s gonna be us. We’re gonna have to go get in that ring.’ I remember they told me my first match was against Britt [Baker] and I was like ‘Oh, it’s just Britt Baker’ and then [there is] Dustin Rhodes. I wasn’t back until the All Out that I got signed at. To see it go from I was literally cheering in the crowd until like 2 a.m. or whatever it was, to getting the graphic. I facetimed my mom, cause CD had told me that they wanted to put out the graphic today. I just texted her and was like ‘Be prepared for something’ and she’s like spamming my phone while I was in the makeup chair, so i facetimed her and I just sent her the picture of the graphic. She was crying, it made me cry, I was sitting in the makeup chair trying not to cry. I never thought I was going to make it to that point, I’ve wanted to be this for so long and AEW has been the dream company [for a long time.]”
Blue has also began to appear for Ring Of Honor in recent weeks, wrestling the likes of Athena and Diamante.
Saraya recently said that Blue is the next big thing in wrestling. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
