Xia Brookside

Fightful Select spoke with former NXT UK Superstar Xia Brookside at WrestleCade.

The interview began with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp asking Xia if people mispronounced her name. She told us it ‘‘Happens all the time,” and people often pronounce it as Ze-ā.

Xia told us it was her first time at WrestleCade as a wrestler. She said the first time was in 2014 while training to be a wrestler.

The former IPW Women's Champion said she loves being at WrestleCade because she gets to see people she hasn’t seen for a while. It also allows her to network, giving her more opportunities to meet upcoming and veteran wrestlers. Xia said she’s grateful and fortunate to work in the United States without a need for a contract.

Xia told us that the overall process of moving to the United States was tough. She mentioned working a lot, but it was what she wanted. Xia said she does a lot of networking because you want to keep your name out there, but it’s going well for her.

Xia spoke about how much has changed since her last tour in 2018 and how it had affected the world of Pro Wrestling.

She told us that WWE began recruiting her at the Mae Young Classic. Xia said Canyon Ceman was the one who told her that they wanted her to be in the tournament. Ceman was the Senior Director of Talent Development for WWE during that time.

She told us about her Father (Robbie Brookside), a trainer and assistant coach in NXT. Xia said she and her father have a close relationship. Xia says many wrestlers and athletes tell her how much of an influence he had on their careers.
