Serena Deeb Explains Why She Is Coaching Less And Wrestling More

AEW

An AEW star has explained why they are now coaching less and wrestling more in the company.

Serena Deeb arrived in All Elite Wrestling in 2020 after working as a coach for three years in WWE.

The 17-year veteran has not only made an impact for the promotion in the ring, but she is also a coach and producer backstage.

Speaking with “The Flagship”, Deeb was asked about her coaching position and explained that she has been doing less of that as of late.

The AEW star also revealed that while Cody Rhodes was in the company, he appointed Deeb as his coach.

She answered:

I’ve been coaching a little less because I’ve been wrestling more. It’s honestly hard to do both on the same day because if you’re wrestling, you have to focus on the whole process of getting ready and on what you’re doing in the match. In the past when I had my knee injury, I was still traveling every week and I was coaching 2-3 matches a night. I want to give a shout out to Cody Rhodes because Cody always believed in me and would say to me, ‘You’re my coach, I want you as my coach.’ He always put me in that role for him and showed me that respect. That was really, really huge for me and I really appreciated that. When I’m not wrestling, I do want to be coaching but I’ve been doing more wrestling. When they have me on AEW Elevation or AEW Dark, they don’t give me producing roles because everyone on there has been a wrestler and they understand that if you have a match, it’s too much to also be coaching or producing. I did that on AEW Rampage about a month ago where I coached and wrestled the same night.

Serena Deeb last appeared on AEW television on the 3 year anniversary edition of Dynamite in a six-woman tag team match.
