This might sound bad, but I really want to work with Eva Marie, just because it seems like that's what people want.

Going to places like Chicago and New York as the champion is kind of what was really special for me.
For my TakeOver matches, I was always just a huge mess, a huge ball of nerves.
I've always tried to be a leader.
I don't really sweat the petty things.
We all know, going into this business and stepping into the ring, there's a possibility of injury. But you're never expecting it to happen, and when it does, it's just the worst thing ever.
You have a goal in life, and to achieve what you want, you've got to do what you've got to do.
I think NXT, as a whole, is kind of like a family, so we're not competitive. We're supportive.
Making my family, friends, and close peers proud of me is the most important thing.
It's hilarious to see guys wearing a headband with 'I'm a Hugger' on it.
Thinking about how far I've come, it's so crazy to me.
I was a tomboy. I wasn't like the other girly girls.
If I were to have a match with Lita, I would make that a championship ladder match.
This sounds like I'm a loser, but when I'm feeling down, or I need a bit of motivation, I do watch old NXT matches because they have some of my favourite memories as a performer in WWE.
With the likes of Rey Mysterio back in WWE, I find myself watching him and feeling inspired and that I need to get better and get to that next level.
It's really important: you can be the best wrestler in the world and make the most money, but if you're not a good person in the back, that says a lot about you. I've never wanted to be that person, because I've had so much help along the way, and I want to continue that.
When I made my debut, I had that weird one-off at 'Battleground' where I was, like, Sasha's partner. And that was an amazing night.
I sweat a lot because I get really nervous.
I'm just easy to get along with.
I loved The Rock. He was my favorite for a long time.
When you're in a tag match, like, you have this tag partner, and you make it known that you have this partner that you can work with.
I got to work with Asuka, who is amazing.
People want to see John Cena - they want to see all these guys - but I want people to buy tickets because they want to see the girls and they're looking forward to the Divas matches.
Personally, I've struggled with a lot of doubt in myself at times.
When I started this character, it was me being 12 years old again. We would have other wrestlers come to our promos, and I'd geek out over them and show my excitement. I would just grab them and not let go.
Parents will often thank me for being a good role model for their kids or tell me, 'You'll never understand how much you mean to my daughter,' so then I feel I don't want to let down the parents, either.
Any time I get to wrestle Sasha, I always want to do it.
When I started listening to Paramore, I was in high school, and they were, like, 15. Seeing somebody at such a young age have that ambition, I thought, holy crap, they were so young. They seemed like cool people, and I really liked the music.
As a performer, I need to change in the ring, to be a little bit more aggressive and go about things in a different way rather than Bayley following the rules all the time.
I really like Pete Dunne. His grittiness and aggressiveness is something I want to learn from and something I wish I could be a little more of in the ring.
Triple H and all the coaches have been very helpful and supportive of everything that I have done.
My favorite WrestleMania moment would actually be the first WrestleMania I ever went to, and that was at WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans. I've been a fan forever but have never been able to go to an actual WrestleMania until I started working with the company.
When I saw Daniel Bryan win the world title, that was the most incredible atmosphere, especially after Undertaker just losing his streak, which was such an awkward and weird feeling in the building. To feel the feeling of the fans once Daniel Bryan wins his title - it was... I can't even explain it.
Every match that I have, I always feel like I'm more nervous than the last one.
Paige is someone who is very close to me - ya know, outside of the ring - she helped me when I first got to NXT.
Sasha and I are so lucky to have The Revival on 'Raw' with us, and we're so lucky to be such good friends with them because they help us so much in understanding the why in so many things. They teach us the psychology of actually being a tag team - people don't understand that.
I got to work with Nia Jax when she just started, and that's just a whole other obstacle: like, I've never been in the ring with someone like her before.
I'm very proud of 'NXT.'
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.
When I first started to learn to run the ropes, that was really painful for me: it's just cable wire wrapped in tape. It bruised my ribs so bad, it hurt to be hugged; it hurt to lay down.
Triple H really prepares everybody for WWE in everything we do in NXT, and everything we do in the performance center is to prepare us for WWE.
When I was a kid watching wrestling, that's kind of how it was. You had these long feuds and storylines, and you just got more and more interested, and you wanted to see where it was going to go. You wanted to see the big blow-off match, and I like that stuff because that's what I grew up watching.
I'd like to think I'm ambitious, and I like proving people wrong and surprising people.
Sasha Banks. She has it all; she has everything. Her mind works like no other, and her heart is undeniable.
I never really look at other people; I just worry about myself.
