Just four years ago, there may have been some that contended with Willow Nightingale’s defining statement:
“Hey, I’m more than a smiling face.”
As she split time between AEW and Ring of Honor, Nightingale acknowledges she struggled to be patient as she sought opportunities to make an impact.
Nightingale went from serving as an extra body at television tapings to signing her first contract and eventually stealing the hearts of the AEW faithful as her talent became apparent. Her unique journey to the top has included stops along the way featuring championship gold, making history and showing she’s capable of turning the switch from happy and kind to intense and violent when a rivalry calls for it.
