Anna Jay Credits Dean Malenko With Helping Her Improve Recently
Anna Jay discusses her goals in the ring.
Anna Jay is one of the original women’s superstars in All Elite Wrestling as fans have watched her develop in the ring. She is a multi time challenger for both the AEW and TBS Women’s Championships in the promotion and continues to improve with every performance.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Jay was asked to discuss her goals. Jay would name the AEW Women’s World Title as her goal, noting that she is grateful for the help of Dean Malenko in improving her in ring abilities.
“[The AEW Women’s World Championship] is definitely the goal. I think that’s kind of everyone’s goal is to one day hold a championship in wrestling because that’s a token of what you’ve worked for. But I think for me right now, especially with my experience and being so new, and I’m not that new anymore, but I am new as far as match numbers. I’ve not had as many matches as a lot of the girls. But I think right now, really, I just want to keep getting better and keep doing what I’m doing and keep getting reps and keep getting advice from all the people that we have in the back and keep going on this way. I do feel myself getting more comfortable, and I do feel myself trying new things here and there. I think, like I said, if I stay on this, that I’ll get better and hit my goal of being a great women’s wrestler and hit my goal of being the champion. But I think it’s just kind of a day-by-day process, for me at least, and I’m okay with that. I’m okay with taking it day by day, and I’m okay with just getting better and that being my goal right now,”
“Dean Malenko recently has been helping me some, and he is just incredible, and also just a very sweet, generous man, so it’s cool learning from him. Obviously, he’s just incredibly talented and incredibly knowledgeable. Jericho, of course. Being with him has really been helpful, and he’s helped me a lot I think talking-wise, even more than wrestling. So it’s cool to have different people for different aspects of the business. So those two right now I feel like have been super helpful. But there’s tons more. Jerry Lynn’s been helpful. I would say Madison Rayne, she’s super helpful and always helping the women week-to-week. But there’s tons of people in the back that are helping all the time,”

We will have to wait and see what comes next for Anna, but she will certainly look to continue improving with the more ring time she gets.
