– In an interview with WWE.com, Dana Brooke spoke about her transistion from modeling and bodybuilding to wrestling.
She said: “I have always been active and into sports my entire life, and I’ve always wanted to be a star and inspire others. It all started when I was a little girl wrestling with my father and he became my manager; “Mr. Perfect” and I would hold matches with my stuffed animals. Soon I started modeling at a young age for little tikes where I became a little camera hog and loved to pose. I did gymnastics for 18 years but had a major ankle surgery that set me back. In college, where I graduated with a Fashion Merch & Business & Bachelors of Science Degree, I was bored. I just couldn’t work a nine-to-five job. I then started bikini competitions in 2010, where it was about training and looking good, but I wanted more. I ended up falling in love with fitness and earned my IFBB Pro card. Eventually, WWE contacted me but I was a bit hesitant because I had never wrestled a day in my life. But my motto has always been, if you want something, you will make it work and achieve anything you put your mind to. I started my journey and it’s been the best journey of my life. I’ve learned a lot about myself and life in general.”
She also talked about her rivalry with Charlotte, being the “total diva” and more.
