Further developments in the AEW world include a candid discussion held by wrestler Willow Nightingale with Renee Paquette, in which she talks about her journey of recovery after a serious neck injury. She shares her post-surgery views, “I’m a wrestler, at the end of the day, our scars and physical aspects are a part of us. This was the first time I considered quitting wrestling.” Yet, despite the struggle, she managed to pull through because a small voice in her head said, “Keep going, make all this hardship worth it.”
A preview clip of Lio Rush on an upcoming episode of Hey! (EW) has also been released by AEW.
