>Hayter grew into the pro-wrestling scene and performed at trainee shows in local community centres in front of a few dozen people. Her name grew around the British independent scene and she was soon getting calls from promoters who wanted to book her on to their shows.
>"I think back to all the strange places I wrestled," the 27-year-old mused in a video call from her hotel room in Texas. "I remember wrestling in front of 10 people and going to a show and the guy was like 'sorry we can't pay you' and I thought 'what the hell this isn't right'. Then I came to AEW, it's grand with a big stage and it's on TV, and I do always think back to that moment - it's very humbling and I still can't believe this is real."
>"I still get the same nerves and the same feelings as I did seven years ago when I first started, but it's on such a bigger scale. Any time I walk out and feel nervous I can't back away, this is my job now, and I have to go out there and perform. AEW is doing really well, America loves professional wrestling, and fans travel from all over to watch a show which is really great to see."
