"It’s like the competition now " - Former superstar Ariane Andrew comments on the competition between WWE and AEW

Ariane Andrew, formerly known as Cameron in WWE, recently spoke about how the battle between AEW and WWE is stacking up.

During an interview with MuscleManMalcolm, The Slammy Award winner said that having competition like the one between AEW and WWE is a great option and should never be viewed as a negative. Andrew mentioned how IMPACT Wrestling star Mickie James entered the WWE Royal Rumble match while being the Knockouts Champion.

Andrew made her AEW debut in 2020 on the July 29 episode of Dynamite, as she teamed up with Nyla Rose (with Vickie Guerrero) in the Deadly Draw lottery system. The two challenged for the AEW Women's Tag Team Cup Tournament but lost to Anna Jay and Tay Conti in the first round.

"You know, it’s kind of hard because you know, when you — AEW, its almost become — it’s like the competition now with WWE and you know, it’s so hard to say because at first, people are like, ‘Well if you do the AEW, do you think the WWE is ever gonna ask you to come back?’" said Andrew. "But it’s like times have changed. I mean, look at Mickie James. She came out as the Knockouts Champion in the Rumble, you know what I mean?"(from 21:12 - 21:39)

Ariane Andrew wants to reunite with former tag partner Naomi

Ariane Andrew still hopes to reunite with her former tag team partner, Naomi. The former Women's Champion has been a significant part of Andrew's WWE career.

Andrew teamed up with Naomi from 2012-2014 as The Funkadactyls alongside Brodus Clay. The duo are familiar with each other and are certainly capable of winning the tag titles.

Andrew later returned to WWE when she competed in the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble match. Sonya Deville, Naomi's rival, quickly eliminated her to end the fan-favorite's comeback.

The former Funkadactyl member could potentially have a singles career. Although she still wants to team up with Naomi and win the tag titles, it would be compelling to see her thrive on her own.
