In an interview with Indy Sports Daily (via Fightful), Willow Nightingale spoke about why she’s confident heading into her TBS title match with Julia Hart at AEW Dynasty. Willow noted that she has never defeated Hart in a match. Here are highlights:
On earning the title match in a match with her friend Kris Statlander: “Yeah. Before, you were kind of touching up on the friendship aspect of it whether that Skye who would have won and faced Julia and the position that Stat and I were put in. At the end of the day, it’s wrestling first. It’s competition before anything else and all of us understand that. All of us want to be at the top of our game, we’re gonna do what we have to do, we understand what we signed up for.”
On facing Julia Hart: “Julia Hart is someone I’ve wrestled in two singles matches I believe so far and unfortunately have not picked up a win yet. That is kind of lingering in the back of my head as I walk into Sunday. It’s like, even though I’ve grown as a performer and wrestler and I’ve really been able to tap into that aggressive and violent nature that resides in me, there’s that little doubt of, she’s had my number. I just feel a lot more confident this time, I’ve got my friends at my side. I’ve tapped into who that is, so I’m going to tune into the best Willow Nightingale we’ve ever seen, fingers crossed.”
