MJ Jenkins discusses her WWE release, losing a loved one to COVID-19, and what's next [Exclusive]

MJ Jenkins in NXT

One thing I'd like to confirm - is your non-compete 30 days like the other NXT talents?

Yes, it is.

Okay, so you can't wrestle elsewhere for 30 days. Hopefully we'll see you in a ring as soon as that time is up - but what are you doing to pass the time?

So, if you may, if you want to know, I have a sewing machine. I'd never opened it but now that I have so much time on my hands, I'm like, "Okay, let me try and sew". So I've been making...facemasks!

I've just been really keeping myself busy with doing different things. I've been doing that, I've been opening my YouTube channel, Marvelous MJ Jenkins, I'm going to be doing that.

Oh, yeah, and my website! I was working on AWholeLotOfWoman.com because of so much support that I've been getting from the fans, I wanted to give them something back so I was like, "Why wouldn't I have a website? Hello!". Like, "let's give them merch, let's do all these things that, ideas that I've had in my mind but I haven't done it yet".

Yeah, I've been doing that and preparing for the future.

So, to the future then! You've wrestled in NXT, Evolve, Impact, EVERYWHERE! Where's next for MJ Jenkins?

Oh, man... You know, there is so much wrestling out there and... [MJ laughs] ..I can say, from what I've seen, the main place I would love to go to is AEW. I can't lie!

To say that I haven't been watching would be a complete lie. I think what they're doing is amazing. Sonny Kiss has been one of my friends for the longest. I met him so long ago in New Jersey when I was wrestling and he was wrestling at a smaller indie company.

Britt Baker is there, and me and Britt had our first ever tryout match in front of the whole WWE locker room at SmackDown. And we killed it!

You just have so much great performers there. Ariel Monroe, Big Swole is what she goes by now... But I would love to go there because I believe in what they're doing and I believe in their women's division.

Also, even like Ring of Honor. I've always admired Ring of Honor. I could tell you a little scoop of something. There was a time where I may have had the opportunity to wrestle for them but I had signed with another company. I was backstage with my gear and everything, and I was like, "No!"

It's almost like a blessing in disguise because now there's still another opportunity and now I'm even ten times better than I was a year ago, three years ago or whenever, when I did have those opportunities with those companies.

Definitely AEW. Definitely Ring of Honor. I would love to work with Maria Manic. She is just incredible and her transformation, "Oh, Lord". I know we would be something interesting.

There's just so much talent there and I'd love to revisit IMPACT Wrestling. That was the company that gave me my first break and I'll never forget it. I'll never forget Gail Kim calling me and she's like, "Well, if you want, you can come here". I was like... she's like, "I hope I'm not bothering you". I'm like, "Gail, honey, do you know who you are?! You are Gail Kim, you're not bothering me. Call me anytime you want!"

I'm ready to get back out there and take it all. One main goal is I would love to go to Japan also, and Mexico for sure. I want it all now.
