I have a TV project that’s coming out that I can’t say yet because it’s not publicly been announced, but it’s gonna be really exciting. I work with HSN. I’m an influencer. I’m gonna start going live with them next month, which I’m really excited about... I’m writing my book, so that’s another project that we’re doing," Vickie Guerrero said. [H/T Wrestle Zone]
WWE veteran Vickie Guerrero reflects on her time in AEW
During the same interview, the former SmackDown General Manager spoke about her experience with All Elite Wrestling. She mentioned that she enjoyed working with the company but wanted to do more with her character.
The only regret Guerrero had working with the company was the fact that her character did not progress further in the few years she was there.
“AEW’s good with me. I loved my time there. I was there for three years. The only thing that I… I want more in life, and my character wasn’t progressed for the three years, and opportunities weren’t given. I just felt like, for me, it’s a professional decision that I needed to go somewhere else where I’m able to be the character that I want to be and to be appreciated for the work that I can present inside the ring."

Vickie Guerrero also mentioned that she would miss managing both Nyla Rose and Marina Shafir, but was glad to be a part of the promotion.
