Garcia’s thoughts about two bouts on the All In card. 

Over the weekend, All Elite Wrestling presented their second installment of All In at Wembley Stadium in London, England. One of the viewers of the pay-per-view that live-tweeted some of her thoughts was WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Garcia.

She solo-hosted the newest episode of The Nikki & Brie Show as Brie was traveling from London with Bryan Danielson and their children. 

Nikki spoke about the Women’s World Title match between Mariah May and Toni Storm. She said she was ‘in awe’ of both talents.

Toni Storm and Mariah May, there is a women’s match to watch if you’re not a wrestling fan but maybe you’re like, oh, I wanna watch something. Their match from AEW All In was so incredible. The storytelling, the moves. I was just in awe of those women. It was just so incredible…

She went on to speak about the World Title main event between Swerve Strickland and her brother-in-law, Bryan Danielson: 

And then Bryan (Danielson), he just brought so much of the emotions and he just never disappoints. He always gives us greatness and so, I was really proud of him and seeing my sister and the family in the ring at the end made me super emotional because I could tell she was emotional, I could tell the kids were emotional and it was fun to chat with them all after. But yeah, what a beautiful moment. I have to say, those are the moments that I live for in pro wrestling. When you can bring real life to a story and you tell the story so well and build it up so well to that big match and then you continue the storytelling in the match with wrestling moves, so much so that us in TV land, we don’t even have to be there live. We can still be in TV land and feel the emotion and I felt a lot of that yesterday and especially in Bryan’s match and especially in Toni Storm and Mariah’s match too. I felt the emotion and they were in London and I was over here in Napa Valley and that is like the most incredible moments of pro wrestling when we can deliver that or you get that from stories or storylines and matches so, I loved it all, if you can all tell, because I went nuts on X.

Garcia once again expressed that she desires to get back into the ring. In April, AEW President Tony Khan said he’s ‘very interested’ in working with Garcia.
