As noted before, Nikki Garcia, former Nikki Bella in WWE, revealed in a recent episode of The Nikki & Brie Show podcast that she had been interested in the idea of working for AEW following Mercedes Mone’s official debut in the company.

A recent episode of the Battleground Podcast featured AEW CEO Tony Khan as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Khan’s thoughts about Garcia’s recent comments and him being very interested in the idea of working with Garcia in AEW in the future.

“If Nikki Garcia ever wanted to come in to AEW, I would be very interested in that. I think the world of her. I have so much respect for Nicole and Bri. They’re like family to us because Bryan is like a part of my family, and that means Bri and Nicole part of the family. So I have so much respect for both of them, and if Nikki was interested in coming to AEW, we would love to have her here any time. That was so great to hear. It means the world, and I just like both of them so much. I think they’re really, really cool, and really, really great stars that would add a lot to AEW if they ever wanted to come.”
