Willow Nightingale expresses her interest in having women's tag team titles in AEW.
Nightingale has risen to stardom throughout her time in AEW, and she has established herself as a fan-favorite star. After initially competing on AEW Dark and Dark: Elevation, she has become a prominent member of the women's division, and she often competes on AEW TV. Nightingale and Ruby Soho have joined forces, and they recently battled Tay Melo and Anna Jay A.S. in a Street Fight on the January 13 episode of AEW Rampage. Moving forward, Nightingale is eager to keep rolling as a tag team.
Speaking on Excuse Me: The Vickie Guerrero Show, Nightingale was asked to name her next target in AEW. She responded by noting that the company doesn't have women's tag team titles right now, but she'd like to keep working with Soho. She stated that it would be "awesome" to have another title or a trophy of some kind to chase. Nightingale also brought up a potential rematch with TBS Champion Jade Cargill.
"We don’t necessarily a tag championship. We have tag teams within our women’s division, but I think personally, working with Ruby, I think having there be an official tag division or some sort of physical goal to work towards, be it a championship or some kind of trophy or medal, because I know they had done the tag team tournament in the past, I think that would be a really awesome direction to take the women’s division in. I love the fact that we have two championships in the women’s division as is, with the AEW Women’s World Champion and the TBS Champion, but I think a tag championship would be really awesome because I’d love to continue working with Ruby and really kind of finding our own little groove as a tag. But I’ve wrestled Jade twice for the TBS Championship, and I think a third time’s the charm, maybe? Could be fun, personally. But those are kind of the things that when I go in and I try to think about my future, where I see myself going, but every day is a surprise at AEW, so we never know [laughs]," Nightingale said.
Guerrero responded by noting that she likes the idea of having tag team titles in the women’s division, as she stated there is plenty of talent in the group. Nightingale described how it's fun to have great matches, but sometimes she's left wondering what's next. She emphasized her belief that having a clear direction, such as a title or a trophy of some sort, could be beneficial.
“I’m sure you know better than most people, working so closely with Nyla [Rose] and Marina [Shafir]. Having great matches is fun and fulfilling, but sometimes it feels a little bit like, where do we go from here? What’s the next step? Having that kind of direction, a very physical thing to look at and go, ‘That’s the direction,’ sometimes just helps put everything into perspective for everyone," Nightingale said.
