Skye Blue recalls meeting Jon Moxley as a fan and telling him she’d become a professional wrestler someday:
“I think it was maybe like a Comic-Con or it was a 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 was terrified. I walked up to him and I was like, ‘I want to be a wrestler one day. I’m gonna train to be a wrestler one day.’ I don’t remember exactly what he said, but he like 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 gonna 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 then now I work with the man and I can pick his brain about wrestling, and I can get feedback from him.
The other day I had walked past him in the hallway and he was like, ‘Good job, kid.’ That is… little kid me was screaming in the back of my brain. It was like the little full circle thing and I was like, ‘Holy crap.’”
