- Harley Cameron spoke to TV Insider about how important her program with Mercedes Mone was to her career:
- I think working with Mercedes was such an important part of my career growth because when you have the opportunity to work with one of the greats. Obviously, there are a lot of eyes on the individual who has credibility and star power. It was an amazing position and opportunity for me. I definitely think it allowed me the screen time to show my performance ability in entertaining, which is where I had the experience in. She pushed me more to prove something in the ring and it definitely gave me that fire that made me think I needed to level up and work harder. I credit her massively to my growth. I think this year without that opportunity, I wouldn’t have had the year I had. Which has been a fantastic one.
- Camron credited Nigel McGuinness, Orange Cassidy, Shawn Spears, and Tyler Breeze for helping her train:
- I think I got put into a very good position with very little experience, so it’s important for me to put the work in. I want to make sure to show I deserve to be there. A lot of people have been really gracious with their time. I definitely want to thank especially Nigel McGuinness. He is someone who trains with me almost every morning before work. Orange Cassidy, I’ve been training with him a lot too. When I’m home, I’ll train with Tyler Breeze and Shawn Spears. I definitely try to train whenever I can because I know if anything doesn’t go to plan, I can look back and say, ‘I’m doing everything I can.’ I’m still learning as I’m going on TV. It’s a lot of work when you’re on TV, so I feel the expectation is high. I want to make sure I put the work in.
- AEW’s YouTube channel posted the full Kenny Omega vs. PAC match from the 2019 Thanksgiving Eve edition of Dynamite.
- Ricky Morton of The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express shared that he’s recovering from walking pneumonia: “I’ve been fighting walking pneumonia for the past two weeks, and man… it has absolutely kicked my ass. Even a walk to the mailbox has felt like a full-on marathon. Taking it day by day, keeping my faith strong, and trusting this bounce-back is coming.”
