Summary

Alex Windsor says AEW stood out to her as the promotion that best represents what she believes great wrestling should look like.

Looking back on her June 2025 signing, Windsor said the company's presentation and match style made a strong impression on her. She added that if AEW had been her first exposure to wrestling as a kid, it would have made her want to become a wrestler.

The timing of those comments is notable because Windsor is still building momentum in the promotion's women's division. She is also heading into AEW Dynasty: Zero Hour against Marina Shafir after recently saying she is not intimidated by Shafir.

Quote from Alex Windsor

"I think it was a great, not alternative to WWE, but I just think how it looked. I can imagine, obviously, like I said, I hadn’t really seen wrestling before. I can imagine if… if I saw an AEW show as, as a fan, as a kid, and that was my first introduction to wrestling, I would want to be a wrestler after watching it. I just think how it’s presented, how the matches are, I just think as a company, it embodies what great wrestling is. So I just think whether you’re a fan or a wrestler who’s aspiring to get signed somewhere, I just think AEW is the place that again, it, it doesn’t lie like, it’s where the best wrestle and I just think as a company that’s how it comes across, and that’s, I think, anyone who wants to be anything in wrestling, honestly, I think it is the company to go for."

What Alex Windsor's AEW view says about her current role

Windsor's comments matter because they frame AEW as more than just the company that signed her. She is describing it as the place she actively wanted to reach, which gives extra weight to how she is being positioned on the card now.

That also makes her Dynasty: Zero Hour appearance more meaningful. For Windsor, a strong performance against Marina Shafir would help back up the belief she expressed about AEW being the right stage for her at this point in her career.
