Harley Cameron on Being Approached By Entertainment Companies But Living Her Dream Job in Wrestling, Wrestling Not Being a Stepping Stone, Training with Nigel McGuinness & Orange Cassidy, Her 2026 AEW Career Goals, & More

TV Insider held a recent interview with Harley Cameron. One of the topics discussed included Cameron’s thoughts about how she has been approached by entertainment companies involved with talent competitions like America’s Got Talent but she is currently living her dream job in wrestling.

“I will say my focus and heart is on wrestling. I definitely had companies in that field or area [shows like America’s Got Talent] proactively reach out to me. I just think it would have to be the right time, right situation because I’m currently living my dream job.

I think a lot of people don’t realize I get to do all the things I love at work. Tony Khan is amazing and gives me the opportunity to showcase the other things we do in entertainment on our show. I feel like I’m kind of getting to live my dream currently. Then again, if the right opportunity came out and made sense, I would be open to it in the future. But I’m very focused on wrestling right now.”

Cameron also gave her thoughts about how her wrestling career is not a stepping stone and instead is a focus and passion for her.

“A hundred percent. A lot of people do have in their mind that perhaps wrestling could be a gateway to something else for them. For me, it’s reversed because I’ve had a very fruitful career in entertainment. I’ve seen that side of things. It’s not that I don’t proactively do it, but wrestling is not a stepping stone for me. Wrestling is the focus and the passion. I still actively get to perform in other industries. I’m always performing as a singer, actor, musician, and I do comedy. I get to do all that now. We’re really lucky we get to do external projects while working at AEW, which is one of the amazing things Tony lets us do. I think that’s why it’s very evident that my focus is on wrestling because I’ve done a lot of other stuff. It’s fun and I still enjoy it, but nothing makes me feel what wrestling does.”

Cameron also gave her thoughts about her hectic work schedule and how she has been training with Nigel McGuinness and Orange Cassidy to help improve her wrestling skills.

“Our schedule is definitely hectic. It’s a full-time grind. Then I’ll come home on a Sunday and train. I’ll train on Monday at Flatbacks Wrestling School in Orlando. Then we have the shows we tape. Before the shows, I’ll get in the ring to train with whoever is available too. 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.”

Cameron also gave her thoughts about her goals for her AEW career in 2026.

“I definitely feel more confident than ever with my ring work. I feel like I’m finding my groove. I feel like this year has been a year of growth and development. I’m hungrier than ever. I just want to do good work. I want to entertain and put on great matches. Obviously, the end goal is I want to have some gold around my waist. One thing for sure is I’m just going to be consistent and working hard. You never know what is in the future. I feel like if I have the level of growth this year next year then I’ll be really proud of myself.”

Cameron also provided an update on Mini Mone and her own health status following the Women’s Blood & Guts match at AEW’s Dynamite Blood & Guts 2025 show earlier this month.

“She actually left that match unharmed. She was more harmed a few weeks prior when she went face first into a cake. The cake incident was more of a recovery. She luckily didn’t take too much of a beating in the Blood & Guts. I unfortunately can’t say the same.”
