In a recent appearance on the “Rasslin” podcast, AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May discussed her issues with her own mother, who was seated in the front row at AEW All In London 2024 at Wembley Stadium last month.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her mother: “I’ve got a real issue with these mother figures in my life. She’s not going to come to all of my matches. She lives in London, she’ll maybe get an invite to Forbidden Door, maybe, at a push, if she stays in her seat and keeps her mouth shut.”
On her own mother yelling at her to stop: “She was standing up and telling me to stop. Whose own mother tells them to stop? I was trying to become a world champion, I left home at 20 to pursue my dreams of being a wrestler, I’ve moved countries twice because this is all I ever wanted, and she was telling me to stop. She said I was taking it too far.”
May will compete in a Title Eliminator Match against Queen Aminata on tomorrow’s edition of AEW Dynamite.
On a recent edition of the “Battleground” podcast, Willow Nightingale discussed the honor of becoming the first American to win the CMLL World Women’s Championship and why the title wasn’t defended at AEW All Out 2024.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On CMLL not sanctioning her Street Fight at All Out as a title match: “[CMLL] are not big into the blood and the guts and the hardcore stuff, so they’re not even sanctioning the match.”
On feeling love from the fans when she last wrestled at the Arena Mexico: “The last time I was in Arena Mexico, I felt so much love. I felt like this air of, like … the best word that pops into my head right now is ‘regality.’ Like, we don’t have a building like Arena Mexico in the United States. We don’t have a structure that is specifically dedicated to professional wrestling and has been there for upwards of 60, 70 years.”
Kris Statlander defeated Nightingale in a Street Fight last weekend at AEW All Out 2024.
Nightingale will defend her title against Zeuxis at CMLL 91 Aniversario on September 13.
