Blue revealed that the tattoo is a permanent reminder of the year her wrestling dream came true. I have a 21 on my arm because I was 21 in 2021 when I got signed, she shared. That milestone came after an incredible surprise from AEW President Tony Khan, who personally invited her to participate in the Casino Battle Royale at All Out 2021. The unexpected moment left Blue overwhelmed with emotion.
Recalling the surreal experience, she said, At the end of one of the dark matches, Tony came out on the stage and had me come up. I thought I messed upI was like, Oh my God, Im going to get fired before Im even hired. But then he asked me to be in the Battle Royal at All Out, and I was bawling my eyes out like a little kid. I couldnt believe it.
The heartfelt moment continued as she called her mom to share the life-changing news. I went outside and called my mom. I was like, You have to get pay-per-view ticketsIm on the pay-per-view! Ive never heard a scream so loud through a phone. She was so excited.
Despite being nervous during her debut, the memory remains one of her favorites. Theres a picture of me from the pay-per-view where I look like Im about to throw up on the ramp because I was so nervous, but its my absolute favorite picture. Thats when my dream came trueI finally made it.
While shes still on the road to recovery, Blue is keeping her focus on coming back stronger and ready to step into the ring again. Her tattoo serves as a constant reminder of how far shes come and the dreams shes achieved.
