AEW referee Aubrey Edwards recently had a conversation with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp on a variety of topics such as how she was trying her best not to laugh during a one-on-one matchup between Ruby Soho and Nyla Rose after Nyla referenced a game they played on a podcast, which turned out to be hilarious due to what happened in the game.
Aubrey Edwards said:
“Nyla did it once. We were on a podcast together called ‘Hello from the Magic Tavern,’ where everyone plays mythical characters. She was a cave explorer, and I was her beneficiary. There was a point in the podcast—I’m trying to say the short version of this—where there was a chair and a ceiling that fell and made me blind, so there was a wizard that gave my eyes back, and then I had four eyes and then another chair fell from the ceiling—just normal stuff. It’s all improv. It’s hilarious. It’s a great podcast. So she ended up getting hit in the eye. She ends up rolling out. She goes, ‘A chair! A chair destroyed my vision!’ I’m just trying not to laugh ‘cause of this stupid inside joke. Ruby’s like, ‘What’s going on?’ I’m like, ‘Don’t worry about it.“
Aubrey Edwards also talked about how she tries to help out any other way she can outside of her being a referee.
Aubrey Edwards said:
“I try and fill in wherever I can. I really enjoy my job. They’ve given me a lot of opportunities, and I want to help AEW be as successful as possible. So anytime there’s something that comes up where someone needs help, and it’s just a matter of reviewing something. Really boring stuff. Like, ‘Hey, can you help us build our GDP art policy?’“
Aubrey Edwards then talked about how Cody Rhodes and Chris Jericho helped her a lot during her career early on in AEW.
Aubrey Edwards said:
“There’s a lot of people, and I can’t necessarily name just one because there’s particular points in my career where this person helped a lot, and this person helped a lot. Early on at AEW, Cody was a big help. In the last year, I’ve actually been working a lot with Marty Elias, just over text and whatnot, doing tape studies, getting feedback, and all that sort of stuff. Chris Jericho, the entire time I’ve been at AEW. I’m so thankful for everything he’s given me. There’s so many people I could name who have done so many things for me that I think that would fill up the entirety of this memory card.“
