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.
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'm very proud of 'NXT.'
I was a tomboy. I wasn't like the other girly girls.
Growing up watching WWE, they used to have bra-and-panties matches or pillow fights, and that's why my mom didn't want me to watch wrestling. But when my parents divorced, I was able to watch wrestling again, and that's when I started to really get into wrestlers like Ivory.
I think NXT, as a whole, is kind of like a family, so we're not competitive. We're supportive.

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.

Every match that I have, I always feel like I'm more nervous than the last one.
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.
I was really sensitive because people would say they thought I was a boy or call me a boy and stuff like that. I always had my hair back and, like I said, baggy clothes. So it was kind of sad. I didn't know what to do about it, and I didn't know what I was doing wrong because I was just being me.
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.

For me, the only way I know how to do this is to be myself. I actually learned that from 'The Dream' Dusty Rhodes.

It's very different, but it's so much fun.

When I first started my character in my first match with Alicia Fox, I walked out with my hair in a ponytail, and as soon as I got into the ring, I took the ponytail out and let my hair down, because I knew it would get messed up, and I didn't want to look ridiculous on TV.
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 want a one-on-one match with Sasha Banks. A Fatal Four-Way with Sasha, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte would also be great some day at a WrestleMania.

I kind of felt like maybe I didn't have what it took to look like a supermodel and wear high heels all the time and my nails.

If I were to have a match with Lita, I would make that a championship ladder match.
Making my family, friends, and close peers proud of me is the most important thing.
I've always tried to be a leader.
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.

I love being the NXT Women's Champion.
I'd like to think I'm ambitious, and I like proving people wrong and surprising people.
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.
Asuka is just insane, and she has such a different background and things I've never seen before, so I'd say I'm a little bit more worried of Asuka because I don't know much about her.

Going to places like Chicago and New York as the champion is kind of what was really special for me.
