Xia Brookside is happy to be back on the independent scene.

After being released from WWE in late 2022, Brookside hit the ground running quickly, as she made her return to STARDOM later that year. In 2023, Brookside has competed in big independent promotions such as Black Label Pro, Prestige Wrestling, Absolute Intense Wrestling, and Freelance Wrestling.

While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Brookside stated that she's happy to be back on the indie scene, as she's able to meet new wrestlers and also reconnect with old friends.-

"So I’m loving this because right now it’s also kind of a reunion. I was signed for four years. So there’s people I haven’t seen in so long. Also, as you’re saying, being in a new country, it gives me so much opportunity to meet upcoming wrestlers, all the older vet wrestlers. You’re like a little kid at Christmas at these things. To reunite with all your family, but also the shiny new toys that you get."

Elsewhere in the interview, Brookside chatted about moving to America and how the independent scene has changed. Fans can learn more here.
