Nyla Rose on Doing Work Behind the Scenes in AEW

“Mostly, a little bit of backstage, behind the scenes stuff — that front with AEW — but yeah, I’ve been side questing, turning up on the indies, tour of Japan. People say, ‘Where were you in Japan?’ I was in Japan. We were all over Japan. Up, down the Eastern, going into the West. If they have a Midwest, we were out there. We were everywhere in Japan, with my tag team partner Nightshade from the UK.”

On Pitching an Idea for a Tag Team With Yuka Sakazaki

“I did pitch, one time, for me and Yuka Sakazaki to be The Magical Beasts. That just amused me.”

Nyla Rose is the second AEW Women’s World Champion in the promotion’s history. She last wrestled for the promotion in November 2024.
