Willow Nightingale Thought Hangman Page Drinking Swerve Strickland's Blood Was 'Peak Pro Wrestling'

Willow Nightingale enjoys violence.

Willow Nightingale is wholesome in every way, but she is also a professional wrestler, which means she enjoys her fair share of gratuitous violence. Perhaps one of the most gratuitously violent acts in the history of All Elite Wrestling occurred at AEW Full Gear 2023 when Hangman Page battled Swerve Strickland in a Texas Death Match. During that match, Page actually laid underneath Swerve and allowed the blood pouring from Swerve's forehead to flow into his mouth.

Speaking with IGN during San Diego Comic-Con, Willow Nightingale revealed that that that was her favorite gimmick match in AEW thus far and said that the moment where Hangman drank Strickland's blood was the peak of professional wrestling for her.

"The first thing that comes to my mind is Swerve vs. Hangman from last year when they did the Texas Death Match. When Hangman drank the blood from Swerve's forehead and then misted it into the air. I was like, 'This is the peak of professional wrestling. I love it!"
