WWT Celebrates Black History Month | Alicia Taylor
Alicia Taylor is the current announcer for WWE NXT, her voice has been captivating since being a part of the brand. Alicia has had a love not only for music but wrestling as well. My favorite aspect from Alicia’s voice has been showing off her unique, deep tone.
While being interviewed by the Real Radio Monsters, Taylor recalled how she was finding it challenging to find her voice on NXT until Triple H asked her to use her metal voice. She stated, “It just never felt right to me. And then Triple H came over to me one day at rehearsal and he goes, ‘Hey, aren’t you a metal singer?’ And I said, ‘Yeah?’ He says, ‘Then give me your f**king metal voice!” And I said, ‘Okay, well, if I’ve got Triple H’s approval, then I’ll do that.”
I loved that she had that moment with Triple H as her “metal voice” has been her signature ever since as it is super unique to her and I love seeing that. She does a great job of standing out with her voice as she does her announcing during the show.
Alicia Taylor joined NXT in 2018 but before then, she was a drummer with stars such as Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus. She has been a WWE fan for quite some time, she had a YouTube series called “Heavy Wrestle” as well. It’s incredible to think how she’s able to use her talents alongside a company she has been a fan of for years now and being a representation for a lot of women on a weekly basis. Alicia has been able to show so many of her talents and it’s always incredible to hear her on NXT every time I’ve watched the show.
