Alex Windsor: AEW ’embodies what great wrestling is’
Alex Windsor says AEW really is where the best wrestle.
Windsor officially announced that she had signed with AEW on June 6, 2025. She is scheduled to wrestle on Sunday’s Dynasty pay-per-view in Vancouver, where she will face Marina Shafir.
During a recent interview with The Wrestling Classic, Windsor was asked what about AEW appealed to her and made her want to sign with the company.
Windsor said:
“I can imagine if I saw an AEW show as a fan as a kid and that was my first introduction to wrestling, I would want to be a wrestler after watching it.
I just think how it’s presented, how the matches are, I just think as a company, it embodies what great wrestling is. So I think whether you’re a fan or a wrestler who’s aspiring to get signed somewhere, I just think AEW is the place.
It doesn’t lie like it’s where the best wrestle and I think as a company, that’s how it comes across.”
Also during the interview, Windsor discussed her match against Shafir on Sunday’s pay-per-view, her Brawling Birds team with Jamie Hayter, the UK wrestling scene, and Mercedes Mone.
