Kamille On Her Goals As The NWA Women’s Champion

In an interview with Instinct Culture’s Denise Salcedo (via Fightful), Kamille spoke about her remaining goals as the NWA Women’s World Champion as she approaches two years as champion. If she retains against Natalia Markova at the Crockett Cup this weekend, she will hit that milestone. Next, she wants to surpass the 760-day reign of June Byers from the mid-1950s. Kamille has been champion for 727 days.

She said: “So initially, when I won the title, I think I had either three or four matches with the NWA. So it was quick. When I got it, I set, I didn’t even tell anyone this because I was like, ‘maybe it’s silly,’ but in my head, I was like, ‘I want to have it for a year.’ It was just my own personal goal. I didn’t even tell my husband because we don’t talk about wrestling when we’re not wrestling, but it was my own personal goal. And then a year passed and I was like, ‘Oh, all right. Still going. Still going strong. I don’t I don’t see an end in sight.’ So now we’re almost up on two years. What’s what’s funny is there’s apparently this movie that’s coming out about Mildred Burke’s life. They’re literally making a movie on it and there’s this woman in there also named June Byers, that a lot of people may or may not know about. I think she had a single reign. I think it was like 760 days. So now my my goal is to pass June Byers’ reign and then that will put me in the top five all time NWA Women’s Championship reigns. I don’t really think I have a specific number. I more so have… like I said I wanted the year right? Then it kind of kept going and going and I was like, ‘I think I might get to two years here.’ Now we’re coming up on two years. I have to beat Natalia Markova to make it to two years though. When I beat Natalia, I think my sights will be set on the third year and then the fourth year. So I just kind of feel like I take it in year increments.“
