AEW Star Willow Nightingale made an appearance on Busted Open Radio to talk about a variety of topics such as how she started working for ROH when Maria Kanellis, Bobby Cruise and Cary Silkin really made a difference and launched the women's division.
Willow Nightingale said:
“Being part of Ring of Honor has been really rewarding to see the way it’s been rebooted. When I first started working there was when Maria Kanellis and Bobby Cruise really launched a women’s division. Cary Silkin pulled me and a few other girls aside and was like, ‘You guys are awesome. We’ve had a lot of great women walk through the doors, but we’ve never had a division like this before.’ For me, all about women’s empowerment and feminism, ‘Hell yeah, I love to hear that.’ I was a little crushed when we were told we weren’t continuing on with Ring of Honor.”
Willow Nightingale also talked about main eventing last Thursday's episode of ROH TV with ROH Women's World Champion Athena.
Willow Nightingale said:
“To be part of the new regime is exciting, it’s a fresh take on it, we’ve featured women and had two women’s matches on each show and [Thursday], Athena and I main evented, which is awesome. Not only two women, but two black women main eventing the second show ever. For some people, that doesn’t matter, but for people who grew up like me and didn’t see stuff like that, we’ve come a long way.”
