During a recent appearance on the “Flickering Myth” podcast, former AEW Women's World Champion Nyla Rose discussed a potential matchup against reigning AEW Women's World Champion Toni Storm.

Rose said, "Honestly, I've gotten in the ring with Toni Storm, but I've not gotten in the ring with timeless Toni Storm. I think that would be a laugh riot. Well, that's not entirely true. We touched, we locked horns briefly, very briefly in a one-off tag match. But like to actually have something with her would be, that would be golden cinema."

During a recent appearance on the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast, AEW star Viva Van shared her unique story of how she started her wrestling career.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On getting into wrestling school: "I just remember googling the wrestling schools near me and being like, 'Oh my gosh, it's a fortune to join, I can't afford it.' I remember driving home from school one day, just praying, I was like, 'Please, I don't know how I'm gonna get this money but I need this money to start pro wrestling training on Monday. I really need it.' And [then], a car hit me from behind, a fender bender."

On using a check from the accident to pay for wrestling school: "So I got in a car accident. We pulled over to the side, I'm like, 'Great, this is just what I needed right now.' Then, the guy was like, 'Look, I know I'm at fault, I don't want to get insurance involved, here's a check for $1,500.' That was exactly the amount. I looked at the scuff on my car and I'm like, 'You know what, this will come off.' I started wrestling training on Monday."
