The newly signed veteran wants to get started right away on helping the division improve.
It was announced during the last week that Madison Rayne had been signed to AEW as both a coach and as an in ring talent. She has so far competed in two matches for AEW and will challenge for the AEW TBS Championship on tonight’s edition of Dynamite.
Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Rayne explained how she hopes to help talent in AEW as a coach.
“As I’ve thought about, what does the term ‘coach’ mean and what can I do to elevate this already incredibly talented group of women at AEW, my hope is that, I hear a lot of people say, ‘promo work or mic work is such a pain point’ or there is so much they still want to learn to cultivate within themselves or their character and that is my hope. I feel throughout my career, that was one of my strong suits, being able to dive into this character and have fun with it. If I can help other women, or any talent, feel more comfortable holding a microphone and getting the words out and hiding the fact that we’re shaking holding the microphone, if we can be the duck on top of the water who is calm, cool, and collected, even if our feet are [paddling] under the water. That’s one of the big things that is at the top of my priority list in terms of being able to help because I feel it’s maybe one of the stronger points in my career,”
