All Elite really just wanted to provide an alternative for people who were looking for anything different, and what we offer is some of the best talent in the entire world - male and female.

For female wrestlers, it's always such a thin line, because every sport has its age limits, but when it comes to women, we seem to reach those age limits more quickly.

What All Elite Wrestling does is it just creates more opportunities for women.

So making the choice to be involved in the pro wrestling industry is always looked at as a short-lived choice, and there are very few and far in between opportunities to continue a career in wrestling if your time is up as a wrestler, as a female.

I think people are just going to be people, and racism is a thing. If people have an inclination to be racist then they are going to be, and there is not a whole lot that you can do about it.

Wrestling has always been on that edge of a cliff in many areas as far as what is politically correct and not.

I grew up figure skating, and in figure skating there is only a handful of black people at the time figure skating with me.

Some people don't know why they have pride in something that they do.

Women are stepping up, they are performing, they are showing that we are athletes as well and we deserve the attention we are getting.

Working on 'WAGS' is obviously very different than working on wrestling television. It's very different in the way that there is not nearly as much to do for 'WAGS.'

I was truly inspired by a lot of Sensational Sherri and Bobby Heenan's work.

Personally, I'm a fan of valets and managers.

AEW is all about the bell to bell action. You're going to get more wrestling and less soapy backstage drama.

What I did sign was a tentative contract with Impact Wrestling when they were still Impact. That contract had a clause for me, because I was already working on some stuff in other areas of television. That clause basically said that if something else in television were to happen for me, they can't be uncooperative.

I consider my path to be very different than anyone else's in wrestling and that's kind of something I pride myself in.

Everything that I've done in wrestling and hopefully going forward in entertainment has always been unique and genuine to who I am.

I know when someone is genuine, and I'm also a big believer in, if you aren't happy with something or you're not feeling passionate, God, you're not a tree, move. Go do something about it.

I'm not one to say I'm gonna do something and not do it.

I pretty much train every day.

You never want to hear that somebody didn't get to come to your show because they felt unwelcome or they felt like they wouldn't fit in - any of those things, it's a terrible precedent to set.

There's no rules that say you can't have a friend at ringside. The rules say the friend can't interfere.

Many times, I would be on live television and have no idea what the next match is, and I'd have no clue who was coming out next. The last person to know is always the announcer, and it's always your fault if you make a mistake - even if you didn't know. I was always on top of everything and never said the wrong name or the wrong town.

For many female wrestlers, the opportunity to fight for the title represents the crowning achievement of their careers.

The 'AEW' women's championship will be the cornerstone of the women's division. The championship will be treated with the utmost respect and prestige. We hope to inspire future female wrestlers to dream of holding such a meaningful title.
