Several AEW Wrestlers Respond To LuFisto's Accusation

An independent female wrestler LuFisto made turmoil in AEW after doing an interview with Fightful. In the interview, LuFisto discussed her experience while backstage at All Elite Wrestling.

She has competed in Tony Khan’s promotion one time in a Six-Woman Tag Team match on the April 6th, 2022 episode of AEW Dark. The 43-year-old stated that the company has a toxic environment. According to her, the women in the locker room don’t help each other.

Here’s an excerpt from the interview.

“The thing that I do not accept, and it’s what’s going on at AEW right now, women are sh—ing on women when we should be helping each other and lifting each other up. If you’re not good enough to be out there and prove you can go and you have to go through politics and people you’re with, you don’t belong in the sport.”

A lot of AEW wrestlers issued tweets at the same time a day after LuFisto’s interview went viral on social media. LuFisto competes in the independent circuit for more than a decade now. Therefore, AEW World Champion MJF tweeted three reasons why she was unable to join a major promotion.

If you listen to miserable people who never made it in this sport that’s not exactly the brightest thing to do.

Use your brain.

If someone’s been in professional wrestling for over a decade and you find them to be talented but they’ve never truly “panned out” there’s a reason for it.

  1. Lack of talent.
  2. Difficulty to work with.
  3. Delusional

Just to name a few.

People love to talk ill of companies and will say things like “I’m the only person who’s brave enough to speak up.” When in reality the only reason you’re spewing bullsh-t is because you are aware deep down you aren’t going to make it so what’s the harm in spewing reckless lies and trying to hurt hard working talented people on your way down to obscurity.

We have an amazing women’s locker room.

Sorry not sorry.

Britt Baker, Saraya, Ruby Soho, Taya Valkyrie, Madison Rayne, and more female talents issued tweets in response to LuFisto’s claim.

Britt Baker tweeted,

“And why is that? Because what you read on twitter must be true? I love AEW and I love our women’s locker room.”

Saraya tweeted,

“The narrative going around is very disheartening considering someone says they want the best for women’s wrestling but buries it in a number of tweets.. I will say being in this company close to a year, my favourite part is being with the girls in the lockerroom. They uplift, support and laugh with eachother every week and only want the best for one another. We hype eachother up, we buy eachother wrestling gear sometimes just as a little surprise, we text eachother daily and we are there as a shoulder too. This is one of the best lockerrooms I’ve been in and I refuse to let people twist it to be otherwise. Love you all ❤️”

Taya Valkyrie tweeted,

“This narrative that all the AEW women hate each other is quite frankly annoying. I’ve been there for 5 mths & every1, from the 2nd I walked in that building, has been nothing but supportive, hyping each other up & bad ass. Stop pinning women against each other it’s getting old.”

Taya Valkyrie

Madison Rayne tweeted,

“👇🏼 you guys! It’s been a whole year since I tweeted this after my first day on the job at @AEW!

Let me be crystal clear… I love my job and this locker room as much today as I did last year when I tweeted this. Thank you to everyone for making my year 1 unforgettable 🩷 LFG!”
