Willow Nightingale discusses competing for AEW's international partners.
Nightingale is a common face on AEW television, but in addition to that, she has found herself wrestling all over the world as a representative of the company. So far Willow has wrestled in CMLL, NJPW, STARDOM and more worldwide.
While speaking to Sports Illustrated's Jon Alba in a new interview, Willow discussed competing for AEW's international partners, noting that it is one of the most amazing parts of working for All Elite Wrestling.
"I think one of the most amazing things about All Elite Wrestling is that we have great international partners, and I can be someone who's featured on television regularly week in, week out, and I can still take a weekend off and hop on an international flight to Tokyo or Mexico City, and I know that we've got partners over there who are going to take care of me. I'm going to have a fun, hard-hitting match, where I get to learn more about my craft, take away another style, in a professional setting."
Willow continued, noting that it is also beneficial for her on an interpersonal level to meet new people in the industry.
"But also just like on an interpersonal level, meet other people who view the world differently than me and remind myself that, even though sometimes in wrestling we put on our superhero capes and we feel larger than life, like, I can go to the other side of the world to have that same superhero feeling and then walk down the streets where I don't speak the language and feel like a tiny little speck on earth and be like, 'Yep, this is the human experience,' and I am just so fortunate to be able to do it, because AEW allows me to, and I can continue to do so."
Elsewhere in the same interview, Willlow confirmed Fightful Select's report that she had re-signed with All Elite Wrestling. You can read more about that here.
