Willow Nightingale has her eyes on the main event scene in AEW.
Willow has a lot of things going for her as of this writing. She is the reigning Owen Hart Cup champion for the women and is a former NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion.
In a new interview with WrestleZone, Willow Nightingale said that she wants to make the step up and become the wrestler that fans will want to see in the main event picture.
“Ultimately I think where I’m at, I want to be viewed as a legitimate contender for the championship, right? I’ve proven that I can win championships, being the inaugural New Japan STRONG Women’s Champion and then winning the Owen Hart Cup Tournament. I’ve proven myself in the regards that I can pull the trigger on something like this and walk out as a star. So, now it’s just finding my way into positions like that, hopefully where the opportunities are, I can cash in or capitalize on. I’ve already had a title match this year at Forbidden Door, so the only thing to do is to keep that up. I want to be a person who people see and are asking, ‘Why isn’t she in the main event picture for the women.’ That’s ultimately the question I ask myself when I say what aren’t I doing, what do I need to do in terms of the growth and not getting stagnant, but staying consistently dependable. It’s like how do I go from just being dependable to being that person. I want people to see me that way, and I want to see me that way, especially for big shows like Grand Slam. Of course I want to show out in front of my home audience, yeah.”
