After her first match in the ring last month, AEW judge Aubrey Edwards said she would stop wrestling while she was still unbeaten. Edwards is proud of her job as a judge, but when she found out she would be fighting with Mark Briscoe and his father, Papa Briscoe, she was excited. Together, they beat Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, and Karen Jarrett on the June 16 show of “AEW Rampage.”
Edwards said that she had never planned to fight, but when the chance came up, she was excited to give it a try. “I was perfectly content yelling at dudes and shouting rules and stuff,” Edwards said on the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast. “So when this whole thing happened, I’m like, ‘Sure, whatever. We’re just going to ride the ride and see how it all works out.’ And then I heard I was tagging with Mark and his dad. I’m like, ‘Okay, this is pretty much the greatest thing in the world.’ It’s not even like hyperbole, right? This is so wonderful and amazing. Mark already is an amazing human being, but Papa Briscoe is just the sweetest person I’ve ever met. I was like, ‘Oh, this is like my dad.’ He’s just super proud of me. He was hugging me after, like, ‘You did so great. I’m so proud of you. Yeah, we did it! This is awesome.'”
When asked why she used the Figure-Four leg lock on Karen Jarrett, Edwards said that she thought it was a “badass move” to use Lethal’s finishing move on his own partner. After the fight, Edwards’s body was very sore, which made her even more impressed by people like Mark Briscoe who wrestle every week.
Edwards, on the other hand, really wants to keep her AEW record at 1-0. “I could not be happier [with the match], but I also could not be happier that it’s done,” Edwards said.
