“Birthday Surprise and Training Sessions with Harley Cameron & Indi Hartwell
This week, I stopped by the AEW school with Harley Cameron and Indi Hartwell, and Harley completely surprised me with the cutest birthday gift! I had to laugh and let her know my actual birthday isn’t until January, but it was such a thoughtful gesture. Honestly, it meant so much that she took the time to pick something out for me. She’s definitely won me over—consider me a new fan! Moments like these are what make the wrestling community so special.
On top of that, I had the chance to invite Indi Hartwell to the AEW school for a training session. I was looking for someone tall and strong who could channel Kris Statlander’s energy, and Indi was the perfect fit. She has such a commanding presence in the ring, and working with someone so powerful and dynamic is always exciting!
Training Highlights: Flatbacks, Lucha Moves, & Harley’s Big Moment
I trained at Tyler Breeze’s school, Flatbacks, the day before and was excited to run into Harley Cameron. I invited her to the AEW school the next day, and it was amazing to have her in the ring alongside another powerhouse. My best friend Kalisto joined us to teach some Lucha techniques, bringing extra excitement to the session.
The real standout moment? Watching Harley embrace her inner La Luchadora! She pulled off moves I’d never seen her try before—walking the ropes, flipping off the top rope—you name it. Her progress was mind-blowing, and I can’t wait to see how she uses these new skills in her upcoming AEW matches. It was definitely a training session to remember!”
Freddie Prinze Jr. expects to see a new TNT Champion crowned at AEW Full Gear 2024.
Jack Perry will defend his title against Daniel Garcia at Saturday’s pay-per-view event, and Prinze Jr. shared his thoughts on his “Wrestling With Freddie” podcast about why he believes Garcia is the perfect choice to come out on top.
Freddie said, “This is not the easiest pick of the night, but an easy pick. It’s Daniel Garcia’s time … It’s now Daniel Garcia’s time. He’s not going to get beat down. He’s going to win this match, and he’s going to be your new TNT [Champion].”
He continued, “He’s going to have his first title in AEW. He’s going to be the TNT Champion, and he can be a babyface that gets beat up a lot and comes back at the end to win by all these guys that are coming to kill him. Whereas Jack Perry, I don’t think can do that same thing because he’s a bad guy, so he has to wrestle evil. We don’t want to see him get beat down to come back up. We just want to see him get beat down, so I’ve got Daniel Garcia.”
