AEW

Willow Nightingale recently featured in the main event of ROH (Ring of Honor) on it’s triumphant return has commented on the reboot.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Willow Nightingale opened up about having main evented on the second ever Ring of Honor of the new era and reflected on the important moment.

Making reference to the cultural significance of the main event of the night as well, Nightingale said:

“Being part of Ring of Honor has been really rewarding to see the way it’s been rebooted. When I first started working there was when Maria Kanellis and Bobby Cruise really launched a women’s division.

“Cary Silkin pulled me and a few other girls aside and was like, ‘You guys are awesome. We’ve had a lot of great women walk through the doors, but we’ve never had a division like this before.’ For me, all about women’s empowerment and feminism, ‘Hell yeah, I love to hear that.’ I was a little crushed when we were told we weren’t continuing on with Ring of Honor.

“To be part of the new regime is exciting, it’s a fresh take on it, we’ve featured women and had two women’s matches on each show and [Thursday], Athena and I main evented, which is awesome.

“Not only two women, but two black women main eventing the second show ever. For some people, that doesn’t matter, but for people who grew up like me and didn’t see stuff like that, we’ve come a long way.”

Also featured on the show, a killer match between Trish Adora and Billie Starkz which you can read more about by clicking this link.
