Aliyah: Fastest Victory In WWE Record Proved I Could Still Make The Audience Feel Something Real
Aliyah talks her record breaking victory while signed to WWE.
On the January 14th edition of WWE edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, the former WWE Women’s Tag Team champion would go one on one with Natalya in singles action on the show. However, once the bell rung, Aliyah would immediately roll up Natalya, scoring the victory and a brand new record for the fastest victory in WWE history.
While speaking to PWMania in a new interview, Aliyah was asked holding the record, noting that she feels it shows that she could make the audience feel something real.
“I wasn’t their main star, the one they were actively trying to highlight. So the fact that I did what I did and got the reaction I got? That just goes to show the crowd connected with me for what I represented. I was the one-of-one, and that’s powerful. More than the record itself, it proved that despite a lack of wins, storyline setbacks, or where I was positioned on the card, I could still make the audience feel something real. That’s not easy these days, with everything feeling so similar and controlled. But when the crowd reacts like that, it reminds me that authenticity, persistence, and being unapologetically yourself can resonate stronger than anything.”
In September of 2023, Aliyah would be released from her WWE contract. As previously mentioned, she had previously held tag team championship gold with the company.
