Skye Blue says meeting Jon Moxley as a kid led to full-circle AEW moment
Skye Blue recalled meeting Jon Moxley as a kid during a recent interview with TMZ.
The 26-year-old said that her mother had pulled her out of school so that she could go to a Comic-Con to meet Moxley. Blue says she told the current AEW Continental Champion that she was going to be a wrestler too one day.
Blue said:
“I think it was maybe like a Comic Con or something that me and my mom went to meet Moxley.”
“There’s this photo, and the internet has seen it. I tried to bury it and hide it, but they found it. I have neon pink hair. My mom took me out of school so that we could go meet Moxley. I remember I walked up and I was terrified. I walked up to him and I was like, ‘I want to be a wrestler one day. I’m going to train to be a wrestler one day.’ And I don’t remember exactly what he said, but he smiled and it was very quick. I was just so anxious the whole time. I remember walking away from that and I told my mom, ‘I’m going to work with him one day.’ And she was like, ‘If you put your mind to it, I’m sure you can.’ I had already proved how stubborn I was. I had started training. And now I work with the man.”
“I can pick his brain about wrestling and I can get feedback from him. The other day I walked past him in the hallway and he was like, ‘Good job, kid.’ Little kid me was like screaming in the back of my brain. It’s like a little full circle thing that I was like, ‘Holy crap.’”
