Kylie Rae Talks about winning the AAW Women’s Championship
I’m still speechless. I had no idea, honestly. And when it happened, it was everything I ever dreamed of pretty much because I grew up in Chicago. AAW is, I think the longest running company in Chicago. So I grew up a fan of it and then they didn’t even have a women’s division until last year. And then they crowned a women’s champion and then that’s a goal you strive for… it’s one day being women’s champion. And it finally happened. It was amazing, I knew about the match

Kylie Rae Talks About Training at Booker T’s School
I’ve always been a fan of Booker T, so when I first moved to Texas, I never thought that I would be able to be at his school. I was still training up in Chicago a little bit, but I was like oh my god this is like the end all be all of training faculties. They only accept certain people who are in the best shape and the best wrestlers. So when I had my first meeting there , I was extremely overwhelmed nervous, I was shaking. You first day they put you through the ringer to see what you are able to withstand. Where you conditioning is , where your head is at, how advanced you are in your training. So, I guess I passed the test because I was there training with them the next day. It was just cool to see Booker T, teaching you. …. You have this form of respect for him, unlike anything ;I felt for a trainer before because he has been where you want to be in wrestling.At least where I want to be in wrestling. Like WWE is hopefully one day my goal and one day I would love to be there. And he knows exactly what they are looking for and he runs his training facility pretty much how the performance centre is run and you can’t ask for better training than that. He looks for things that not many other trainers are able to look for.

Kylie Ray Talks About Her WWE Try Out
Leading up to it, just like the pressure and most like the fear of the unknown because you always hear about the try outs and you can watch them online. But you don’t you realize how hard it is till you get there and there is really no way to prepare for it. So you can do all the conditioning you want. But you are there pretty much for 3 days from 8 to 5.So what they don’t teach you about is how sore your going to be and how to deal with that soreness

Kylie Ray Talks About Her Experience With AJ Styles
I would love to wrestle him. I feel like he is a big reason why I got my try out to begin with. I had done extra work a couple of months before the try out and after my practice match when we were there, he had pulled me aside and basically told me’ keep doing what you are doing. You are on the right track’ . I was so starstruck and crying in his face. And I think he had gone up to management basically [and said], ‘I don’t know what she has to do, I don’t know what the process is to get a try out but she needs a try out.’

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
Rush: 0-1, 0 points
Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

Here are your Blue League standings!

Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
