AEW women's locker addresses criticism.
In a recent interview with Fightful, LuFisto detailed her experience in AEW when she was brought in for a Dark match in April 2022. LuFisto commented on the backstage environment, detailed issues she had with Ruby Soho, and much more.
On Friday, many AEW talents, male and female, responded to the criticism on social media.
This narrative that all the AEW women hate each other is quite frankly annoying. I’ve been there for 5 mths & every1, from the 2nd I walked in that building, has been nothing but supportive, hyping each other up & bad ass. Stop pinning women against each other it’s getting old.

If you listen to miserable people who never made it in this sport that’s not exactly the brightest thing to do.

Use your brain.

The narrative going around is very disheartening considering someone says they want the best for women’s wrestling but buries it in a number of tweets.. I will say being in this company close to a year, my favourite part is being with the girls in the lockerroom. They uplift,…

a) the gospel truth
B) facts
C) anything but one perspective influenced by PERSONAL experience and interaction
I’m sad, hurt, annoyed, angry, and honestly a little betrayed.. funny thing is it’s not by a single woman in our locker room----
We have an incredible women’s division that all look out for and support each other. I’ve never seen it be anything other than a safe space for a bunch of kick ass women that all want to see each other and all of @aew shine to their full potential. Women hating women is a real…

Every Wednesday I leave my daughter and husband and get on a plane. Every Wednesday I fly somewhere hundreds of miles away from my dad who is battling stage 4 cancer. And every Wednesday I walk into a locker room of women who motivate, uplift and genuinely enjoy one another! ------

False. Thunder called the meeting to discuss multiple/personal issues. There was no meeting to “shoot on” her - these are salacious Twitter rumors. I’m sure when she’s ready she can help clarify. https://t.co/fgrXwKmciZ

Non-AEW regulars also commented on their experiences when brought in for extra and Dark work.
Almost 2 years ago, I had the biggest opportunity of my life and made my @AEW debut at #AEWGrandSlam! My experience since day one at AEW has always been positive, and everyone in the lockerroom is so welcoming! --@realrubysoho is the best! -- https://t.co/6qJNzca3Xn

Funny that.
