Leyla Hirsch is one of the newest signings that All Elite Wrestling made. The wrestler had an impressive career in the Independent promotion Combat Zone Wrestling or CZW and in Japan as well. Leyla Hirsch had a really small but good run in Japan where she wrestled with the likes of Itsuki Hoshino, Saya Lida, Natsuko Tora, Natsu Sumire, and many other Japanese big names.
During the month of October, Leyla Hirsch returned to America and signed a contract with All Elite Wrestling. She made her debut on October 27 during an episode of AEW Dark where she challenged AEW World Women’s champion Hiraku Shida in a losing effort. Recently Leyla Hirsch spoke with Highsports Wrestling Network where she revealed her desire to become the AEW World Women’s champion soon. Here are some of the highlights of what she had to say;
Leyla Hirsch wants to become AEW World Women’s Champion
She actually signed with AEW back in October
I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say any of this but, my first week on Wednesday night, I faced [Hikaru] Shida [on AEW Dark] and that was great and then there was an incident with — there was a match that was supposed to happen with the girls and it didn’t because there was an injury and then they called me and they were like, ‘Leyla, we need you to wrestle Serena Deeb.’
So me and her literally only had 20 minutes to put the match together. Went out there, did it and then when I got backstage, Kenny Omega put his arm around me and said to me, ‘I hope I’m not putting too much pressure on you’ but he was like, ‘What’s your availability? We would like for you to work here and then Christopher Daniels pulled me aside and gave me the contract right there and then. So surreal but my first week there, I ended up getting the contract. So, it was wild. I don’t know [why it took AEW this long to announce it]. Just timing. Yeah, just certain things but it happens, so, grateful for it.
She wants to be a part of Team Taz in near future:
Oh yeah, my whole Twitter: ‘Team Taz, Team Taz’ and yes, one day I would love to be part of Team Taz.
She reveals her current dream to be AEW women’s champion:
I’m shooting big. My goal is the AEW Women’s Championship, you know what I mean? Even though I am new, still, I’m here for a reason at this time, so my goals are big. So, AEW Women’s Championship, and you know what the cool thing is? I’ve actually still never won a championship anywhere. So it’d be pretty sweet to say my first championship is the AEW Women’s Championship.
Leyla Hirsch has been pretty impressive since debuting in All Elite Wrestling. Her previous encounters with other wrestlers and her performances do not create any doubt in mind about she can be a top wrestler. We hope one day she will join and rule WWE as well.
