I couldn't really get a grasp on wrestling at a young age. I knew it was what my parents did, and they fought people. It scared the crap out of me, so I thought, 'No, I can't do that. I'll get beaten up!'

I was born into the business, literally. My mum was seven months pregnant with me before she realized it, so she kept wrestling like normal up to that point.
First and foremost, that was always my passion: I wanted to wrestle, but unfortunately, it took me down a road that I can't do that anymore.
NXT is a land of opportunity.
To be the first NXT Women's Champion is such an honor.
I want everyone to know that they can accomplish anything they want at any age if they just be themselves. I want to encourage millions to chase their dreams and to never change. Everyone should also know how to throw a good right hook!
I was at rock bottom for a year and a half - and the people who got me out of my rut were my fans.
