Nikki Garcia, formerly known as Nikki Bella, recently shared her admiration for AEW stars Mariah May and Toni Storm following their match at AEW All In.
Speaking on The Nikki & Brie Show, Garcia recounted her experience watching the event and how captivated she was by the AEW Women’s World Championship match between Storm and May. Garcia fondly recalled watching the match with her son, Matteo.
“Then the girls got on the screen, and I was like, ‘Matteo, come watch what mommy used to do.’ It was really cute because it was Toni Storm versus Mariah May, and he just was in awe, from their entrances, and he was watching them wrestle. It was cute because one would do something, and he’d be like, ‘Yay,’ and I found myself cheering on Mariah May, and Matteo wanted Toni Storm, so we were just having this fun little moment.”
Garcia went on to express her amazement at the quality of the match and the storytelling involved, noting that she hadn’t been this engrossed in wrestling in a long time.
“I got hooked. I literally sat and watched wrestling for four hours on Sunday. I couldn’t believe it. I haven’t sat and watched a pay-per-view in so long,” she shared.
Garcia didn’t hold back on her praise for both competitors, mentioning she was in awe.
“I was just in awe of so many of the wrestlers and the performance at All In. Toni Storm and Mariah May, if there’s a women’s match to watch, if you’re not a wrestling fan but maybe you’re like, ‘I want to watch something,’ their match from AEW All In was so incredible. The storytelling, the moves, I was just in awe of those women. It was just so incredible.”
Garcia, who has previously expressed interest in AEW after Mercedes Mone’s debut, seems to have found a renewed passion for wrestling after watching these talented women in action. Could this mean we’ll see more involvement from Nikki Garcia in the wrestling world? Only time will tell.
