TNA wrestling star Mila Moore has one wrestling dream – involving Taylor Swift

TNA Wrestling sensation Mila Moore has opened up about her villainous new persona, reflecting on a career-defining period that recently brought her across the pond. Speaking with What Do You Call It? podcast host George Buka for The Daily Star, Moore detailed her evolution into one of the most talked-about rule-breakers on television and the joy she has found in getting under the skin of the fans.

When asked about leaning into her unapologetic heel persona – including a viral moment where she refused to count a pinfall as a special guest referee because she was checking her nails – Moore admitted she is having the time of her life.

“I’ve never heard a crowd. When I didn’t count, I remember genuinely in that moment being like, oh my gosh,” Moore said. “It was that was the most fun I’ve ever had in a match being out there. They hated me. But it was a lot of fun that match was. It was a lot of pressure too because I didn’t realize how much the refs, I don’t think people realize how much the refs do.”

She added: “That was great. I think it’s helped me come out of my shell completely also. Even backstage too, it just I feel so much more comfortable and like I’m able to have fun which is the goal I feel like at the end of the day there.”

Moore’s rise has been heavily tied to her alliance with the faction Order Four, taking on the intentionally convoluted title of Secretary of Strategic Affairs. She credited wrestling veteran Ali for masterminding the group’s success.

“Honestly, I feel like this whole thing was Ali’s idea. He is just a genius in every aspect of wrestling,” she revealed. “And he came up to me with the idea, I think somebody in creative came up with the title, Secretary of Strategic Affairs, which no one can say or remember or it’s like the worst title. It’s just the longest title ever.

“And even the first time he introduced me before he was like, I hope I say it right… But yeah, this whole thing was Ali’s idea. He’s such a creative genius really when it comes to wrestling.”

Before causing chaos at the recent Bound for Glory pay-per-view, Moore made her UK debut performing for Pro-Wrestling: EVE, an experience she won’t soon forget.

“I actually, so, Eve, I did Eve, that was my first show in the UK ever. So that was amazing,” she recalled. “But my sister lives in London, so I was able to visit her, visit my nephews, and wrestle. And she came to watch. It was awesome. It was honestly one of the best shows I’ve ever been at.”

Praising the British fans, she said: “Oh, rowdy. I mean, it was it was so fun. The crowd was like on their feet into it the whole show. And Eve’s like No Woman’s Show. It was just some really tough girl. You know what I mean? It was a good show. The crowd was amazing.”

Looking ahead to TNA’s upcoming Destination X pay-per-view on November 15 in Canada, Moore already has her sights set on championship gold. Asked who she would like to step into the ring with next, the star didn’t hesitate to target the top of the women’s division.

“Oh, that’s a good one. For a future match, oh, maybe I would say Masha Slamovich right now because she has the TV title,” Moore stated. “Maybe Indi Hartwell. Actually I’ve trained with Indi a few times. She’s our our new knockouts champ, so maybe I mean that would be the first to go after, right?”

Outside of the ring, Moore is a self-proclaimed “massive Taylor Swift fan” and shared what her ultimate entrance music would be if copyright were no object.

“Probably Are You Ready For It? from reputation,” she laughed. “That song is like that gets me into like, yes, I’m going to I’m angry or I’m I’m that girl. You know what I mean? Like probably that one.”
