Devlyn Macabre is always aiming to sharpen her work in the professional wrestling world.
Devlyn Macabre continues to evolve her in-ring character and her overall arsenal in the wrestling scene. Now known as “The American Tragedy,” Macabre is eager to not only better herself as a performer, but also expand her reach to new places.
During a recent interview with WrestleZone’s Ella Jay, Macabre further discussed her personal and professional goals for the future.
“I would like to go to either Japan or Mexico next year or both. That’s my main goal,” Macabre said. “Then, of course, I would like to really get in shape. I want to look lean and shredded, and also to wrestle more matches and wrestle different people. Hit some new states, and things like that. Just wrestle for new promotions; that’s my goal. It’s pretty basic, but I have the same goal every year. I feel like if you have these crazy [ambitions], if I was like ‘I want to get signed by next year,’ [and] if it doesn’t happen, then I’m going to be all bummed and upset. I’m gonna think I’m a failure. So I just want to wrestle and get in better shape, get more reps.”
Reflecting On Reign As GWF Women’s Champion
As Macabre looks toward the future, she also took some time to reflect back on some of the proudest moments in her career so far.
“I’ve always been like, championships don’t really matter until you get to the main stages. I hate to be Negative Nancy here, but I haven’t really won much championships. I don’t feel like companies look at me like that. They’re like ‘Oh yeah, she’s just kind of here for a one-off’. So GWF (Germany Wrestling Federation), it was my second match in Europe in general. I knew I was coming in for the title match, but I just assumed I was not winning it. I got there and they were like, ‘Yeah we’re putting the title on you today.’ It was just very like, ‘What?'”
The championship in reference is the GWF Women’s Championship, which Macabre won by defeating Kara in May 2023. Despite the match only lasting about five minutes and the subsequent injury during her reign, Macabre was ecstatic to add a new title to her budding resume.
“It was really incredible to have some company actually [say], ‘Alright we’re gonna put this title on you and we’re gonna push you.’ The original plan was I was going to drop it before I came back. But they were like, ‘Well actually you can just take it back to America and defend it.’ I was able to, I think, once. I was supposed to [defend it] twice but after I got back that’s when I got hurt. I just was like ‘This really sucks,’ because I have a title and there’s a lot of great girls in Germany that could be holding this title and I’m just in America with it.”
History was made
“Ended up dropping it [to Ava Everett] at wXw. It was, I think, the first time they worked with each other. [Westside Xtreme Wrestling], I think, is the biggest company, let alone in Germany, but Europe. GWF is like the second biggest company. They’re very prominent and well-known because I think GWF has been around since the ’90s. I think this was the first time they were able to work together which I think was cool because I was a part of that a little bit.”
“It was a lot of history being made there,” Macabre continued. “Granted, that match at Femme Fatales was my first match back with the neck and that was the week I was cleared. So, it was very scary going into that, but I went back, lost it, and came back to the States. Here I am titleless, but it was probably one of my proudest moments in my career.”
