Willow Nightingale is very happy in All Elite Wrestling.
On May 14, 2025, Fightful Select reported on Willow Nightingale re-signing with AEW. She would confirm the news shortly after that. Now, she's expanding on why that was the right decision for her.
During an appearance on the Gabby AF podcast, Willow Nightingale told Gabby LaSpisa that she loves the punk rock feel of All Elite Wrestling and believes there's so much more for her to do in AEW.
"I mean, I love AEW, I obviously have, over the past couple of years, through being with them, have gotten a lot more exposure by being on television," she said. "Even though I'm doing that every week, I've still had the chance to travel internationally. One thing that is very special to my heart, is, before I even got there to see something that was a little bit of an idea and became this real alternative to what we had known to be wrestling for so so long in the United States, to watch it blossom and grow into its own thing is cool, but to be a part of it and help from the very start to make it what it is, and to be a part of the identity, and get your fingers in there at the ground of just creating something new and being able to water it and watch it blossom is like such a privilege and a joy. I think that's cool.
"I think things that are like cult classics and have strong followings are awesome. We're like the punk rock show. We're out here doing things because we're passionate and we love it, and I don't think I'm done with it. I think there's so much more for me to do here. Right now, I'm super, super duper happy."
Elsewhere in the interview, she spoke about wanting the opportunity to wrestle the former Dakota Kai one day. Read those comments here.
