Billie Starkz
Ahead of WrestleMania Week, Fightful's Scott Edwards had the chance to interview Billie Starkz to talk about her first time in Japan to wrestle with TJPW, being able to compete on AEW and ROH TV, WrestleMania Week, and so much more. When talking about TJPW, Starkz explained how she initially thought the invite to compete in TJPW wasn't real and she didn't feel it was real until it finally happened. She detailed that getting to team with Millie McKenzie in her TJPW debut was a dream as they face Miyu Yamashita and Yuka Sakazaki. Starkz was featured on AEW, ROH, and MLW last week and explained how she's going to keep riding that high moving forward. She hopes that one day she and Nick Wayne can have a match in AEW to really tear it down.
After being asked about being in ROH, she explained how that was always a dream of hers so getting to compete in a Ring of Honor ring and getting a win was such a cool feeling. WrestleMania Week is one of the biggest weeks in all of wrestling and Starkz will be competing in her third. She explained how she loves the chaos of it all and while the wrestling part is great, she also loves taking in the shows and being a fan too. There was even a tease of using the balcony in the Globe Theater for her match against Rika Tatsumi on TJPW's Live in Los Angeles show. To hear the full interview with Billie Starkz, make sure to check out the Fightful YouTube channel as she discusses more of her TJPW journey, goals moving forward, heading to England to compete in Pro Wrestling EVE, the Queen of the Indies, and more.
