Vickie Guerrero has expressed admiration for Tony Khan's AEW for providing her with a memorable opportunity. The former WWE manager also unraveled on what it meant to perform in front of AEW fans.

Vickie Guerrero earned fame for her credence as a heel manager during her WWE days. Her iconic ''Excuse Me!'' shouts were well-known to generate immense heat in any wrestling arena. Aside from her wrestling character, she is a genuinely respected veteran of the business.

The 54-year old veteran joined AEW in July 2020 as Nyla Rose's manager. She has made a number of appearances for the Jacksonville-based promotion since.

Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling, the legendary manager admired Tony Khan's promotion and threw light on working alongside Nyla Rose :

"All Elite Wrestling has been really great to me. I love the schedule and Tony Khan has been really good to me. I got to work with Nyla Rose, we were having a lot of fun out there. I felt very comfortable. We were working on some new storylines and the talent we've had was incredible. So, for us to be able to do Dynamite, Rampage and PPVs, I am at home," said Vickie. (2.23-2.46)

She further divulged her thoughts on performing in front of fans:

"To be able to perform in front of fans inside the ring, it was just like another night that I look forward to. I had an office job in the medical industry which was very boring. It was hard. So, to be be able to perform again, it was a dream come true," she added. (2.47-3.04)
