Debbie Keitel: Working With Pro Wrestling Eve’s All Women’s Locker Room Is Incredibly Empowering
Debbie Keitel discusses working for Pro Wrestling Eve and what a full women’s locker room means to the talent on the roster.
Debbie Keitel discusses the importance of Pro Wrestling Eve.
Pro Wrestling Eve is an all women promotion based in the United Kingdom, with the top women of the British and Irish scenes commonly appearing on their shows since 2011. Someone who is all too familiar with Eve going back several years is former NXT UK women’s superstar Debbie Keitel, who has previously been a tag team champion in the promotion.
While speaking to Fightful’s Corey Brennan, Keitel would discuss the importance of a promotion like Eve.
“Absolutely. I mean, we can say that things are getting better and we can say that there’s more options and there is absolutely things that have definitely gotten better. But, you’re still you’re still having maybe one women’s match on a show, sometimes two. It depends. Some people have gotten rid of women’s divisions completely, like Fight Factory Pro Wrestling no longer have a women’s division. RCW in Cork no longer have a women’s division. So, there is there is options and there’s a place for everyone. But I think with Eve, there’s just something incredibly empowering about walking into a locker room of just strong women who all have the same goal in mind. You feed off each other. You know women understand women, and when we want to structure something or when we want to plan something a certain way, we don’t need to ask permission. We don’t have to get a second opinion or anything like that. A whole group of women just working together to make the product different, which is amazing.”
Keitel last competed for the promotion back on January 5th, teaming with Anita Vaughan to take on Ivy and Lana Austin.
Elsewhere in the same interview with Fightful, Keitel discussed getting the chance to work with Rhea Ripley early on in her WWE career. You can read more here.
