If I were to doubt myself, I wouldn't even have a chance to be competing for the NXT Women's Championship.
When I was in NXT, I was going after the NXT Women's Championship and it never happened, I would constantly check in on my perspective.
I worked hard every single day to become the NXT Women's Champion, and first of all to be the first-ever person to be from NXT to defend a championship from here at WrestleMania is absolutely insane.
To be able to be the first person from NXT to defend their NXT Championship at WrestleMania is awesome and I love making history.
You're working a million hours and you're on the road recruiting and you're doing all these things, but at the end of the day, you're competing for a championship. You're competing for a Big Ten Championship, you're in the Rose Bowl, you're taking your family to the Cotton Bowl.
When I was in NXT, I never wrestled on a TakeOver. I didn't have too many high-profile matches: I probably wrestled about 10 matches in total on NXT TV, including the one championship match against Bayley, which was so much fun and my favorite match in NXT.
The momentum that I had before winning the NXT Women's Championship was incredible. I was doing absolutely everything and anything.
Now, I don't even consider NXT a developmental system. It's its own brand. So many guys were able to develop a following while in NXT.
If I can be the champion of NXT I don't even know how to put it into words. It would be so humbling and appreciative, but also I would prove to everyone why I should be NXT Women's Champion.
When I went to NXT U.K. and I was part of the women's championship tournament, I saw all of those people and I was absolutely floored. I had never wrestled in front of that many people before.
Emma gave me some of my favorite matches - the NXT Women's Tournament and then NXT ArRIVAL.
Even I doubt myself sometimes. I mean, there's days that I get down on myself, and I doubt myself.
Was I a fan of WWE? Yeah, of course, but I knew it was not going to be a thing for me, until NXT came to the foreground and a lot of my friends who I was competing against on the independent scene were getting signed.
Once upon a time, I liked to call myself 'The Grandfather of NXT' because I was one of the first to come up as I was, from NXT.
Blake & Murphy were winners, I was a winner, and winners usually gravitate toward each other. They helped me, so I helped them in any way I could. I knew they were able to retain their NXT Tag Team Championship on their own, but when the matches weren't going the way they wanted, I made sure to step in. We were an unstoppable group.
When I won the NXT women's title from Natalya at Full Sail, becoming the second-ever woman's champion for NXT, that's when I knew, 'Okay, I'm doing the right thing,' and that I could do this.
I was relegated with West Ham and you never forget that. Going down, playing in the Championship, I constantly remind myself of that. I still remember the feeling, without doubt, I wouldn't allow myself to forget it.
