Serena Deeb Reveals Backstage AEW Role
The Woman of 1,000 Holds details her backstage work with AEW.
Currently proving herself as one of the best on the planet, AEW's Serena Deeb has revealed how, in addition to killing it in the ring for All Elite Wrestling, she's also doing some backstage work for the company in a coaching capacity.
Speaking on The Wrestling Inc. Daily, the former NWA Women's Champion explained:
"For example, yesterday I did what was supposed to be a four-hour seminar, but it ended up being a six-hour seminar because we were just in it and we were just going. I felt so good at the end of it. I really love coaching and I want it to be a part of my life and my future, and I am getting to do a little bit of that at AEW, as well. So that's a part of me, for sure. I have an innate desire to help people and I've kind of always been like that. I really love it."
Explaining how she helped out on the producing side of things during her time out injured last year, Serena added:
"When I was kind of sitting on the sidelines, I stepped into the coaching role and the producing role. Kind of like the stuff I was doing before at the other company [WWE]. I'm helping them with their matches, I am on headset next to Tony [Khan] calling their matches, talking to the truck, doing all of that. I love that too, and you know what? That has an exhilarating component in itself. Like, especially when you really help and then you watch them go out and they kill it, you feel like you're part of that. It's very rewarding."
Deeb would also discuss her role as a locker room leader, particularly to the Japanese women on AEW's roster, with Serena herself having at one stage lived in Japan for three months. Additionally, the former Straight-Edge Society member would praise how Molly Holly and Gail Kim are doing similar great backstage work with WWE and IMPACT Wrestling, respectively.
Most recently for Serena, she's been involved in a rivalry with former AEW Women's Champion Hikaru Shida, with Shida seemingly bringing an end to that feud on the 15 December episode of AEW Dynamite by winning a rubber match in the pair's three-match series.
What's next for Deeb remains to be seen, but The Woman of 1,000 Holds has been absolutely knocking it out of the park in recent years with anyone she steps in the ring with.
