Nyla Rose Says Stokely Hathaway Told Her She Should Think About Doing Stand Up Comedy

Stokely Hathaway appreciates Nyla Rose’s comedy. 

Nyla Rose has built a reputation as one of the funniest follows on Twitter doing various jokes and bits. That humor has translated on AEW television, most recently during her feud with Jade Cargill leading up to AEW Full Gear. 

Appearing on Vickie Guerrero’s Excuse Me podcast, Vickie praised Nyla for her humor on and off screen and wondered if she had ever thought about doing stand-up comedy. 

“I did, I have thought about it a few times. I’m going to throw him under the bus right now, but Stokely (Hathaway) has done some stand-up and he sought me out, he came up to me, it wasn’t like, ‘Hey, by the way,’ this was a point on his mind and in his heart that he needed to express. He came up to me and said, ‘You should think about doing stand-up.’ I don’t know that I ever actually will, I have thought about it, but I don’t know if I’ll ever actually do it. The fact for somebody to have been there, done that, been successful at it, and then reach out to me and say, ‘Hey, you got the chops. you could probably do this.’ That was all the validation I needed. That made me feel good, especially from him because I think he’s absolutely hilarious and crazy talented himself. For him to say that to me, that put me over the moon, I still ride off of that high,” she said.

Stokely Hathaway has done stand-up comedy in the past and even discussed his WWE release in one of his sets. 

Elsewhere during the interview, Nyla and Vickie reflected on their Eddie Guerrero tribute at AEW Full Gear. You can find their full comments by clicking here.
