Persephone Talks To Fightful About AEW/CMLL deal, WWE interest (Patreon)

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful spoke to Persephone this week ahead of her CMLL match with Mercedes Mone. We spoke to her about that match, as well as the feud with La Catalina, which garnered a comical response.

She said that she never had direct contact with WWE, and said she believes that her CMLL contract had some provisions that would have prevented that. She said she learned about their interest through online reports like everyone else. She saw AEW and CMLL as the best path because she loves working in CMLL and wanted to stay in the place that helped build her. She didn’t confirm, but indicated that her AEW/CMLL deals match up in length.

Persephone liked working under a mask, and said she got some push back when she voluntarily lost it because of the history of lucha libre culture of losing it and defending it with honor. SRS and Perseophone joked (but not really) that her signature curly hair is probably more valuable at this point. She said she gets asked in almost every interview if she would defend her hair, and she said that she most likely would. 

Persephone also spoke about her sports medicine background, and wants to help wrestlers learn to not compete in pain so it can help extend their careers. She gave a lot of incredible insight here that is worth wrestlers listening to.
