On the Evolution Of Her Body Image Since Her Career Started:

“Oh, night and day. I wish I knew now what I knew then. But I also like, then again it’s part of that like, ‘Don’t look in the past.’ I was just so focused on, when I first started being the best wrestler like wrestling wrestling. I really didn’t think about in terms of branding or body. Like I was super strong, which was great. I was like 35 pounds heavier. Not saying that was bad, because I definitely feel like my strength and my power and all those years got me to where I am today. But now it’s like, I love showing up to work going, ‘You know what, I know I’m going to look like a baddie today.’ Like the hair, the nails, like all those like things. I love putting the effort and the investment.

“I’ve always had robes and great gears, but like I feel like I’ve taken it to the next level since I’ve come back. And then I had a trainer from 2015 to 17, but it was definitely powerlifting. And then when I came back to work last year, I was like, you know what? I’m going to get my own trainer that I’m going to train with for I don’t bodybuild, but like mixed in bodybuilding and different functional training. It’s just investing in yourself. So, I love it.”

On the Evolution Of Her Ring Gear:

“We’ve been when we first started, it took him it took him about a year to get me in certain because you like you’re set in your ways. But now he just like shows up like because from 2015 to 2019 like I don’t think I ever wore a crop top. Now I’m in here in like a bikini top. Like I should probably put more clothes on. [laughs]

“Like, crop tops for life! For the first like, I’m more confident now in my body and the way I look and everything than I was when I started. For instance, I love butterflies. He’s been trying to put butterflies and little things, or like I love baggy jeans so he’ll incorporate baggie jeans and some of the stuff on TV. But now, like two weeks ago, he was like, ‘I love that you’re just like letting me paint your nose green.’ Whereas before I’d be like, ‘You can’t use this lipstick.'”
