Skye Blue on Meeting Jon Moxley as a Child & Telling Him She Was Going To Be A Pro Wrestler in Future, Getting To Work & Travel Together with Kyle Fletcher, Representing Chicago in Wrestling, Potentially Challenging Thekla for AEW Women’s World Title, & More

A recent episode of TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast featured Skye Blue as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Blue’s thoughts about how she met Jon Moxley as a kid and told him that she would become a pro wrestler just like him someday.

“I think it was maybe like a Comic-Con or it was 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 can go meet Moxley. I remember I walked and I was terrified. I walked up to him and was like, ‘I want to be a wrestler one day. I’m going to train to be a wrestler one day.’ I don’t remember exactly what he said, but he smiled. 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.’ 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. Now I work with the man. I can pick his brain about wrestling and I can get feedback from him.”

Blue also gave her thoughts about her recently meeting up with Moxley again and he praised her work in wrestling.

“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 was like the little full circle thing that I was like, ‘Holy crap.’”

Blue also gave her thoughts about who she feels is the biggest diva between her and Kyle Fletcher when it comes to traveling on the road for AEW shows.

“Biggest diva might be Kyle, honestly. He’s going to kill me for saying that though. No, he’s just a very large Australian man. So he doesn’t fit in seats very well sometimes. He’s always getting his head on the overhead bins or something like that. But he’s not really that bitch of a diva. He’s not, I promise.”

Blue also gave her thoughts about what it feels like to work with her life partner in the same industry.

“But I think it is the coolest thing ever because trying to explain to somebody that’s not in our industry, ‘Hey, this is my job.’ But it’s not a job. It’s a lifestyle that everything kind of revolves around it. It’s not a 9-to-5 where you clock out.

We come home, and it’s like bedazzling gear, washing gear, doing meal prep. because we’re on diets because of what we wear in the ring, how we want to look in the ring and present ourselves, watching wrestling, studying different things, going to the ring, trying things, and rolling around training. It’s not just a 9-to-5 where then you can turn your brain off, and you’re done.

I feel trying to explain that to somebody who isn’t in wrestling and doesn’t understand would be so mind-blowing and difficult for them to grasp how much we love our job. It’s not just a job. It’s our dream. So having a partner that loves it that much, is in the same field, cares about it the same amount, and I get to travel with, I absolutely love it. I love being able to pick his brain at work and being able to bounce ideas off of him. He’s helped me tremendously with my diet and workouts. I feel the most confident in my body that I’ve ever felt in my life. He’s absolutely my rock. I absolutely love going to work with him. Some days, like on the travel days where you have long travel days, you’re getting delayed, and it’s crazy. You’re like, ‘Yeah, it sucks, but at least you’re not there by yourself. You’re there with your best friend.’”

Blue also gave her thoughts about what it is like to represent Chicago in wrestling and if fans recognize her in public.

“There’s definitely been a handful of times. There’s been the random times when you’re at the grocery store or target and it’s like, ‘Oh, you’re talking about me?’ It’s like a surreal little moment. But coming from the indies in Chicago, the Midwest in general, doing all the drives to the cornfields to get to the indie shows and all the fans then do those drives to you to come to all these shows. It’s just so cool to see the community that’s built and to have come up from that to then make it to AEW and then see those same fans at AEW shows is just really a full circle moment kind of thing.”

Blue also gave her thoughts about the potential of her deciding to go after her fellow Triangle of Madness stable member Thekla’s AEW Women’s World Championship in the future.

“I think me being in the Owen [Hart Cup] is kind of like one of those moments because like if I do win the Owen, then there’s that opportunity to wrestle Thekla for her title. But I think it would just be a challenge for both of us because I feel like we have an understanding that we’re competitors and that [AEW Women’s Championship] is the most prestigious title in our company for our women’s division. So everybody’s going to be gunning for it, obviously. But I think there is a mutual respect between us that as long as somebody in the Triangle [of Madness] is holding the gold, representing the company well and dominating the women’s division, that’s what matters most.”

Blue also gave her thoughts about the upcoming Hair vs. AEW World title match between MJF and Darby Allin at AEW’s Double or Nothing 2026 event and if MJF would look good if he was bald.

“Well, if you don’t look good with hair, I don’t think you’re going to look good without it.”
