We as individuals have good and bad days, but we are all passionate, career driven, and competitive. As a collective, the whole locker room has excellent heads on our shoulders, and you have to remember it is a sisterhood.

I would love to get bumped up to be team captain, or even Asuka. Either-or. We can even be co-captains.
Sometimes I do have to find out things the hard way.
I really believe in the 'Glow' and live my life that way. It's about being positive inside and out and being the best version of yourself possible.
When I first came to NXT, I was wearing the neon stuff. Then I got away from it and ended up being a Funkadactyl dancer, which was awesome.
When it's show time, no matter what, differences are put to the side, and we come together to put on the best show possible because we are all professionals. Our love and passion for what we do always override any issues.
I see myself as a role model, and I think that everything that I am putting out is positive.
It's definitely hard being taken from your dream, especially when you're trying to accomplish something.
I'm away from my family so much doing my job. My family is my motivation for everything, so it's only right that's what you get to see on 'Total Divas.'
Being able to travel across the world and meet all the different fans is super rewarding.
Dancing for Flo Rida was a great experience.
Believe in yourself, be persistent, and don't let anyone break your confidence.
I wear something different every week because I haven't found that one look that I really like. But I also like the idea of wearing something different every week because I think that keeps it fresh and new.
You always have to believe in yourself and not let your confidence fade.
Eventually, I would love to hold the RAW title at some point before I retire or make that transition.
I have had a variety of ideas, and I have thought about opening a dance studio. I am very passionate about dance. There are not many dance studios where I live.
Our locker room is so positive. We are all focused on the same objectives, and that's equality for women.
A lot of female viewers who may not have known about wrestling or watched it before are tuning in now because of 'Total Divas.'
I knew a women's Royal Rumble would happen eventually, but nobody was sure. We speculated about it in the locker room; we were all so excited.
From the first day I got signed to WWE, being the champion was always my number one goal, and after years of consistent hard work both mentally and physically, ups and downs, I was finally in that moment I had dreamt and thought about so much!
I loved being a Funkadactyl and was looking forward to us evolving together.
I'm really into EDM music and the culture of that. I just love all that stuff.
I do think people see us on WWE so often as just characters. They forget we have real lives and we go through similar situations as the average person.
Just knowing the history of WWE, I know there haven't been a lot of African Americans that have come through and been successful. But there are women who have done amazing and inspired me.
It's amazing because wrestling is global. No matter where we go in the world, it brings in the same love and response everywhere. It brings in so many different diversities and people from different walks of life.
Being an Orlando Magic dancer was definitely one of the most exciting times of my life. Being on the team was really like being in a sisterhood.
I remember, when I started wrestling at 21, I thought, 'By the time I'm 30, I'm sure I'll probably be on my way out and be ready to have kids.' But that time flew by so fast!
After Team B.A.D. split and the Brand Extension, I got injured and took some time off.
I love everything about Asuka, and everyone loves Asuka. She's an amazing performer, worker, mother, and friend. Genuinely, she is the best. I can see myself growing and learning so much with her. She's done it all, and she's the toughest woman I know.
'Survivor Series' is one of my favorite pay-per-views because I'm Smackdown strong: I bleed blue. I've been my most successful since being on SmackDown.
That is just a part of my personality, being the voice of reasoning, and it is kind of annoying being that person all the time, but pretty much what you see on 'Total Divas' is who we are as individuals.
Being a part of WWE Evolution, to me, is one of my greatest accomplishments.
I would love to see 'Total Divas' grow more. The show is doing awesome.
I just felt like I needed an opportunity to be on my own. I knew that once I got that moment, the 'Glow' was what I wanted to do. That's who I was.
I took inspiration from one of my favorite movies, 'The Last Dragon,' along with my own personal thoughts and ideas.
I feel that, in the WWE, everyone is given the same opportunities to succeed based on merit, and I think the crowd likes who they like. There are people that like us, and there are people that won't like us.
I have a very creative mind, and I'm always looking for new stuff and new things.
We have so many different lives outside of the WWE, it's cool that people get to see all the different lifestyles and struggles we all have.
I took a huge risk. At the time, I was an Orlando Magic dancer, and I was going on my third year. It was then when wrestling was introduced to me. I took a chance, packed up all my stuff, and moved away from home.
I didn't grow up watching wrestling, and it's something that I fell for and took to.
It gets hard no matter what it is you're doing - school, work - the only way you're going to do it is if you stay consistent and focused.
The great thing about 'Total Divas' is that it gives people who don't watch wrestling an avenue to see how empowering we women are.
I needed more stuff that glowed so when the lights went out, you could actually see me the whole time. So I slowly built it from there. I wanted everything to glow. I want my hair to glow, I want my nails to glow, I want my eyes to glow, I want my lips to glow, you know?
I've always been a fan of Asukas. I didn't get to know her until she came to SmackDown.
