32-year previous star reveals actual purpose why she joined AEW: “I think it was a great, not alternative to WWE”

A popular AEW star recently spoke about her decision to join the Tony Khan-led company. The star signed a new contract with the promotion last year.

Alex Windsor made a name for herself wrestling in the British independent circuit. She did stellar work in RevPro and Pro-Wrestling: EVE. This caught the attention of Tony Khan and he offered her a deal to sign with the company. The star has been impressive since debuting in the company. She has currently formed a tandem with Jamie Hayter, known as the Brawling Birds.

During a recent interview with The Wrestling Classic, Windsor discussed her motivations behind signing with AEW. The star noted that she instantly became a fan of the company. The Brawling Birds member felt the promotion was sincere in its presentation and anyone looking to make a name in the business should consider All Elite Wrestling.

“I think it was a great, not alternative to WWE. I just think how it looked, I can imagine, obviously, like I said, I hadn’t really seen wrestling before. I can imagine if I saw an AEW show as, 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 just 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 just think as a company that’s how it comes across. I think, anyone who wants to to be anything in wrestling, honestly, I think it is the company to go for.” [H/T Fightful]
