Part two of a new interview with Aliyah from PWMania.com has arrived.
During the discussion, the women's wrestling star spoke about a potential return to WWE or even a run in AEW or TNA, as well as her goal of wrestling in the Middle East.
The following are some of the highlights.
On the dream of wrestling in the Middle East: "I definitely want to wrestle in the Middle East and be the first Arab woman to do so. Wrestling in Saudi Arabia has always been a dream. And I hear that’s where Royal Rumble is going to be next? What a time to be alive, am I right? Can you imagine the reaction? That will wake ‘em up — it would feel like coming full circle, especially since my dad raced horses there. That connection makes it deeply personal."
On nixed WWE storylines: "There were so many storylines and matches I wish had happened — it’s hard to count. Often, ideas would be pitched or even partially approved, but the final decision always came down to someone else. Sometimes I’d be given a pay-per-view spot, and it wouldn’t get announced, or it would get announced and then taken away almost immediately. At the end of the day I can only control what I can."
On her future in wrestling and the possibility of WWE, AEW, or TNA: “Oh yes — the million-dollar question. I bring a lot of experience and versatility to the table. At this stage, I can work as a Babyface, Heel, or in a supporting role — whatever helps elevate the product and make the show stronger. I know how to make other performers look good in the ring, engage the audience, and contribute to the product in a way that drives excitement and revenue. My goal is simple: to add value wherever I’m needed and help the roster shine at every level. I also have to do what’s sustainable for me and my future. The cost of being a professional wrestler, especially at my age, is intense with the maintenance: health insurance, gym, chiropractor, massage, personal trainer, house, food, electricity, supplements, gear, hair, clothes, makeup, hotels, immigration lawyer, accountant, PR rep, rental cars, even the dog sitters — I live alone, so the bills really add up. To perform at my best, it has to be the right offer. I believe I can be an asset at all 3 of the major wrestling promotions, whether it’s WWE, NXT, AEW, or even TNA.”
