The Bunny recently took part in a “Captain’s Corner” virtual signing.
During the signing, the former AEW wrestler looked back on her time working in All Elite Wrestling and had awesome things to say about the backstage crew.
You can check out some highlights from the virtual signing below:
On her time in the company: “Obviously I felt very blessed to sign with the company, especially just coming out of TNA. I don’t think I was out of TNA for longer than a month before I got the call and was signed to AEW. I know I’m one of the first girls signed to the company along with Britt [Baker] and Penelope [Ford]. I have so many memories. It was really cool for me, the first time I was there for, I believe it was Double or Nothing, and I was doing commentary with JR, and it was my first time debuting kind of thing. But I walked into the building, and a whole bunch of the crew that I worked with at TNA was there, and I was so happy to see them. I was so happy to know that I got to work with them. These are people that I love them, so it was amazing to see them all there.
“People like Dark Order, I’ve worked with them on the indies, I’ve known them for years, seeing their success, and one of the things that is probably most special to me is becoming best friends with Penelope [Ford]. We just hit it off at a time when we both really needed a friend, and I walked away from that company with someone now that I’ll have for the rest of my life. There were a lot of really cool things, but I think the relationships for me are what stands out the most. Obviously, the traveling and the wrestling is really cool, but who you spend the most time when you’re traveling and who you get to work with is really special, and I was really lucky to work with some really lucky to work with some really awesome people.”
On the AEW backstage crew: “I could go on and on about our crew. The crew is just the best. I miss the crew and I miss the people the most. I was a lucky girl. I became really friends with Scorpio Sky. I would never probably have [become] friends with him had I not gotten signed. He’s still one of my good friends. I feel lucky. I feel lucky that I was there from the beginning, but I feel even luckier and blessed that I got to meet so many amazing people and become friends with them.”
During a recent appearance on the “That’s Wrestling!” podcast, Low Ki revealed that he wasn’t surprised to see AJ Styles achieve success in WWE.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On if he was surprised Styles found success in WWE: “I wasn’t surprised at all, because the whole world had seen what they did to me. That gave an opening for everyone after me to actually stand a chance. They’re not going to sit there and allow them to be treated like I was. Me, I quietly allowed them to show their cards of how they treat their people, but physically in the ring, I was still outclassing everybody. AJ is at a higher level. He’s at the main event level, but he has the pedigree for that, so he can pull that off. His physicality for being at the main event level is at a higher level than their main event is. He’s definitely a main event performer, main event wrestler.
“It’s not a surprise why he was allowed to advance. You can deny him. He actually has some moral integrity. Again, at the beginning of the 2000s, they tried to hire him and send him to OVW. He said no because he wasn’t going to uproot his family and have his wife not be able to complete [college]. So, he has some Integrity about him to not allow certain things to happen.”
On Styles’s WWE run compared to his: “His success and advancement, it’s far removed from me. He was years after I was there but even me being removed from WWE, I didn’t tone down my skill to accommodate anybody. So his advancement in the WWE wasn’t a surprise. It was just a sign of the times. He was capable of doing that and he rode the momentum that he gained internationally by pulling off the win for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. Now, he’s on the world main event level. So, it’s not a surprise. What are they going to do, put him on NXT and keep him on a sub-card? That would be a slap in the face and that would be a miscalculation on the booking strategy.”
