Growing up watching WWE, they used to have bra-and-panties matches or pillow fights, and that's why my mom didn't want me to watch wrestling. But when my parents divorced, I was able to watch wrestling again, and that's when I started to really get into wrestlers like Ivory.

Ever since I lost the Women's Championship to Askua, I feel like I've been targeted in a whole different way. People have tried to keep me down and keep me away from the title picture to make sure that I never get a chance again.

I trained with a locker room and roster full of men, and we were all a family, and they all took care of me like their little sister. It's what I want out of a locker room. I think it helps the locker room, and it's a part of the success of the NXT women's division.

I'm at the forefront of the NXT women's division, and it's really humbling to think that I'm not just a part of this new era but that I'm the leader of it.

I think that they way my parents raised me, they taught me to always follow my dreams and never give up, no matter what the obstacle.

My goal is not necessarily to be an inspiration. I think, if anything, I want to continue to be inspired and to continue to grow as a person.

And this we should believe: that hope and volition can bring us closer to our ultimate goal: justice for all, injustice for no-one.

The ups and downs of being a young creative are very real no matter where you are in terms of success, so I think having the courage to be consistent in what you believe in is super admirable.
