On how Will Ospreay helped by giving her advice backstage after her matches on TV for AEW: “There’s so much you have to be aware of that I wasn’t really on the indie scene. So, yeah, going in there, you know, after every match, Will would sort of pull me aside and say, ‘Look, you need to do this. You need to do that.’ So, it’s weird because you know what you’re doing, and you know you’re good at what you’re doing. That’s why, you know, it’s why you’re there in the first place. But again, there’s so much more you need to learn. So it’s, you know, there’s still now, there’s still little things that I’ll think, ‘Oh, you know, I should’ve done this. I should’ve done that.’ So, it’s a constant learning curve.”

Others in AEW who have helped her: “I think I spoke to, you know, I’ve spoken to Sky Blue as well. She’s been a great help. She’s very experienced, I guess, at this point with working TV and things like that. And, you know, you’d get advice from Christopher Daniels. He would always give advice after matches. And Jerry Lynn would watch a few of my matches and say, ‘You know, you could do this, you could do that.’ So, there’s always… We’re very blessed at AEW that there’s always people about that can, you can ask any question, and they will give the answer. It doesn’t matter what, whether it’s about cameras, moves, you know, character. There’s always someone that you can turn to and ask.”

On the most difficult adjustment from wrestling on the indies to wrestling on television: “I definitely think timing is a thing because it’s not just, you know, again, the independents, they say, ‘Right, you’ve got 15 minutes. This is the finish. This is what we want.’ Whereas here, it’s like you’ve got two minutes for this section, three minutes for here, four minutes there. So, it’s sort of like you really do have to keep an eye on the time in each part of the match. And, you know, I think, but on the plus side, I think you do work more together with the referees and the agents backstage. It is much more of a team effort because you’re all talking to each other, you’re all communicating. So, it’s a lot to learn, but I think it adds to the end product and how it all comes out.”
