Skye Blue talks about her journey into AEW.
Skye Blue has quickly become one of the top homegrown talents in all of All Elite Wrestling. She has gone from doing enhancement work on AEW's YouTube programming to being a key player in the women's division.
Skye Blue recently credited former AEW star Joey Janela with encouraging her to reach out to Shawn Dean and first get in contact with AEW.
"I was doing the indies for a while, and Joey Janela actually reached out to me and was like, hey, here's Shawn Dean's phone number. Go text Shawn Dean. I was like, what? I kind of didn't believe it was real because I was already going to be in 2020 during COVID, during the pandemic. So I was already going to be in Tampa because I was doing a GCW show. I texted Shawn Dean and he was like, yeah, come in and do extra work in Jacksonville. So I was an extra in 2020. Then I was also an extra in 2021, the All Out week. Then that was the week that I was in the Casino Battle Royal and then it was all history from there," she recalled it during a recent appearance on the Kicking Out podcast.
