WWE Held Interest In Willow Nightingale

AEW star Willow Nightingale recently confirmed that she has re-signed with Tony Khan's promotion, following reports that her deal was set to expire later in 2025.

Though the exact length of her new contract has not been revealed, it is believed to be a multi-year deal. The company were wise to tie her down, since, according to PWInsider, WWE 'absolutely' had interest in her, had she entered free agency.

The 31-year-old has been with AEW since 2022 and is a former AEW TBS Champion. A current member of The Conglomeration, she won the Women's Owen Hart Cup in 2023.

During a recent appearance on the Gabby AF podcast, Willow spoke about how she loves the 'punk rock' feel of AEW, saying:

"I mean, I love AEW, I obviously have, over the past couple of years, through being with them, have gotten a lot more exposure by being on television. Even though I'm doing that every week, I've still had the chance to travel internationally. One thing that is very special to my heart, is, before I even got there to see something that was a little bit of an idea and became this real alternative to what we had known to be wrestling for so so long in the United States, to watch it blossom and grow into its own thing is cool, but to be a part of it and help from the very start to make it what it is, and to be a part of the identity, and get your fingers in there at the ground of just creating something new and being able to water it and watch it blossom is like such a privilege and a joy. I think that's cool.

"I think things that are like cult classics and have strong followings are awesome. We're like the punk rock show. We're out here doing things because we're passionate and we love it, and I don't think I'm done with it. I think there's so much more for me to do here. Right now, I'm super, super duper happy".
