S5·E22 Arkady Aura

Arkady Aura is the newest member of the ring announce and backstage interviewer team at AEW, and explains the role that FTR’s Dax Harwood played in making that happen. She remembers her first-time doing backstage interviews at Dynamite, prepping her segments, and what she was most nervous about. She talks about learning from her mentor, Justin Roberts, soaking in the backstage knowledge from Renee Paquette, mixing it up with Adam Copeland, Will Ospreay, Willow Nightingale, and Roderick Strong and the Undisputed Kingdom, and being called “Not Lexy.” Arkady also explains how she went from training as an in-ring performer to ring announcing and interviewing, and when she knew that was truly the right path for her! Plus, she discusses her other passion, the Highland Games!
