So Twitch is just a streaming platform, and it's not just for video games now.
It's for pretty much like a YouTube, but you're live streaming on there
constantly.
How are you guys? It's been like a whole month.
All right, you guys are going absolutely crazy.
Everyone calm down.
Twitch was more to me than just a streaming platform. It was really
my mental health. It really helped me a lot.
having all these people be nice to me rather than just being on other
and seeing all the negativity.
So today we are going to be watching some wrestling.
Folks, there is another star from NXT.
She's from Norwich, England, and her name is Paige, and she's here on Raw.
Look at me. Oh, beautiful at this moment.
Everything was just going to change.
Everything.
The youngest female wrestler in British wrestling today.
Soraya didn't take no weekends off.
She broke down barriers every company she went to.
I realized that's what I wanted to do.
And there was nothing that was going to stop me from doing it.
She was a veteran already at 19 years old. And she was baldy.
She has that hard -hitting, grit kind of style to her.
The 21 -year -old from Norwich, England, has just won the Davis Championship!
I just think that they knew, like, this is going to be our girl.
This is my house!
She is what every female wrestler wants to be.
I feel like that's where everything kind of...
I asked Paige how her life has changed and she told me people know me now.
It's crazy how much hate you can get. I was surrounded by people that went out
for my best interest.
My beautiful little princess was broken.
I'm just going to kill myself. That's what I wanted to do. Her heart was
out of her chest.
She just wanted to get back to where she was.
Paige is back!
You can do anything you put your mind to, and she's shown that that's the
To be 30 years old and to have had a movie made about your life by The Rock,
what a crazy journey, what a crazy story.
When I see what the women are doing today, I know that Paige had such a
part of that.
This is my heart, this is my soul, and this is my blood.
I grew up in North England.
I grew up with a family called the Beavises.
But most wrestling fans know us as the Knights.
It's a warm welcome to the WAW Performance Center.
It's our Saturday Night Super Show!
Dad's the one who got us into wrestling in the first place. He was a bouncer
back in the day. They used to call him Paddy the Bat.
And he went to prison and did time and did all, like, you know, he was just one
of those lunatics. And then my uncle Jimmy, he was like, you should try
wrestling. And this is the 80s. He was like, sure.
I thought, give it a go. I've got nothing else to do. And then within two
we were the tag team champions of the UK.
So that's how quick it all happened.
He met my mom.
She was a chef at the holiday camps in England, which is like a glorified
trailer park.
Within six weeks, he'd asked me to marry him, and I'd moved to Norwich. And that
was 32 years ago.
I was his manager, and I was sweet.
WAW is World Association of Wrestling, and my dad founded the company in 1994.
You know, they started, you know, popping out babies, me and Zach. But
also my brother, Roy, my brother, Asa, my sister, Nikki, from my dad's previous
marriage. They were all wrestlers. It's definitely a family business.
So my first bump was technically as a fetus. I'm very proud of it. I've been
wrestling my entire life, even while inside my mother's womb.
I didn't find out I was pregnant with Serene until I was seven months
I got thrown out the ring into the crowd.
Not even just inside the ring. No, like 12 feet in the air onto someone to the
ground. And then I had her eight months and they tried from seven until eight to
stop her coming because she wanted to come out.
She was a lovely, lovely child. She was the baby of the family and everybody
doted on her.
She was always happy. She was a bit OCD at times.
She was all good and upset.
Very mischievous.
Would not take notes off no one. Not me, not her dad.
I remember getting called into a primary school and they said to me, we think
there's something wrong with your daughter.
She doesn't mix with other kids.
And she probably finds them stupid.
Having wrestling parents growing up was definitely very different in England.
I mean, I would get bullied for that in school for a while until they realized
that I could kick their ass.
Me and Soraya were very close growing up. We were like twins.
She was my best friend when the rest of the family were on the road.
Soraya was someone that was always there.
They were inseparable.
They argued like can dogs.
My mum and dad's house, the doors have still got stab marks in the doors where
we used to chase each other around with knives.
These marks that you see are knife marks and scissor marks.
This is where Zach, and this is a punch, where Zach was trying to kill Raya.
Zach's story is fairly similar.
Probably bigger holes because Ray got the bigger knife.
Growing up was difficult.
Mum and Dad were right at the top of the tree in the UK scene.
They were wrestling 28 days a month because if they didn't work, they
get paid.
I think Zach is where I've seen every town in Britain since I was 10 or 11
because me and Julie took him with us.
The entertainment business is a very tough business.
to grow up in, and that's what we are. We're entertainers. So they live the
traveler lifestyle on the road. That's why we're classed as travelers and
gypsies.
Growing up in a wrestling family, everyone assumed I wanted to be in
but wrestling actually terrified me because I grew up with it my whole life.
just scared me. And seeing the injuries, I mean, my mom was blinded for six
months because she got dropkicked in the eye.
It terrified me.
If she gets another knock to the head, then she might lose sight forever.
I don't want that.
I believe that because everything in our life was about professional wrestling,
it actually took her the other way. She didn't care for it, she wasn't
interested in it.
These books, this was the first project that we'd done it together.
But this was all about Siberian Huskies, because obviously Raya didn't want to
be a wrestler. She wanted to be a vet.
That lasted until I was about 13, and then my dad was short on a girl one day.
We were short with a girl for a tag match one night, and Raya was there, and
went up to her and done what she'd done to me when she wanted something out of
me. You know, put my arm around her, told her how much I love her, and she's
princess, and we needed a girl to go on.
Her... playground really with the wrestling ring so even though she never
taught a move she knew the move because she didn't know anything else the
youngest female wrestler in british wrestling today will you welcome
She was terrified. She was just like, no, I can't do this. I don't want to be
front of the audience.
You know, I'm only used to getting in the ring with Zach and I've only ever
worked with him and him throwing me around and Dad just looked at me and
well, we can sort that. Will you welcome the Pink Lady!
So at 14, I was under a Pink Power Ranger outfit wrestling my sister on her
debut match just to make her feel comfortable.
The adrenaline that you get from the three people that were in the crowd that
night, they made me feel a million bucks. And I just, I absolutely loved
That's the thing that she fell in love with instantly.
She'd come back, and she was extremely overwhelmed.
She was very excited, and she was just saying, like, this is what I was born to
do.
Ladies and gentlemen, the youngest member of the Knight Dynasty, Brittany
Knight!
Kind of had a little bit of a chuckle about, you know, she looks like Britney
Spears, and also Britney is an anagram of Brit.
Britney night is the next big thing here at WAW.
She could hit as good as the rest of the guys.
She could fly as well as the rest of the guys.
After I had my first match, I realized that's what I wanted to do, and there
nothing that was going to stop me from doing it. I was just so focused on
wrestling that I just did not care about anything else.
I was sending resumes out to all these different independent promotions, like,
all over Europe.
She started work for me full -time, and the next thing I know, she's flying all
over Europe, and on her own back, 15 -year -old.
Broken away from the family, she's gone her own way.
It's the maturation process of the greatest women's wrestler in this
today, Brittany Knight.
You go, like, I need you next Saturday, but not here, Dad. Well, where are you?
I'm in Turkey.
Turkey?
France,
Italy, Denmark, Belgium, Germany.
I was in a lot of different countries.
She was messaging promoters, telling them that, listen, I'm going to make it.
You've got to book me now to say that I've been on your shows. If you don't,
more on you type thing.
Went in for more money than I was earning and got it. Just letting you
that, the bitch.
That's how clever she was. She was 15 years old and got her own work and done
all on her own.
I realized at a certain point that I kind of gave up my childhood.
I didn't really get to experience what normal kids would experience.
I didn't even go to my prom. I didn't do any of that. I was just too focused on
wrestling. What?
Take out the guns!
A gentleman called Max Fisher came to see us, and he was a huge fan of my
husband. He wanted to do a documentary on Rick.
It just so happened that Raya and Zach got the call -up for WWE to go and do
their trials, and old Max's ears pricked up, and it was like, OK,
I really love you, Rick, and I'll always be a fan of you, but can I do this
documentary on your family?
and your kid's journey, because I think that's a really cool, like, edge to it.
Okay, we're about four miles from the O2 Arena.
Is your palm sweaty?
Oh, my God.
These are the tryouts where all the wrestlers on the show, like, for
were surrounding the ring.
My sister, she knows how to work the room. She's got that presence that when
talks, people listen.
So she smashed her promo. She smashed her ring ring trial. She smashed the
physical, absolutely everything.
Then my agent walked in and he put his arm around Paige and was like, you're
signed. And then he looked at me and was like,
they're not taking you, buddy.
And I remember just seeing how deflated my brother was there. And that just
broke my heart. So I was just like, what about my brother? Like, why can't he
come with me?
Her initial reaction was for me.
which is something I'll never forget, because at that time she must have been
bursting at the seams with excitement knowing that she'd achieved it.
I didn't want to be overly happy in front of him, but inside I was just
oh, my gosh, like, I made it.
This is my WWE contract.
I got FedExed it a couple of days ago. It didn't take very long. I got a phone
call the other day, told me it only took, like, a day to get from America.
But it was priority, you see.
But no, no, I'm super, super excited.
She was 18 years old.
We got told that she had to leave on January 3rd.
All we had was New Year's Day with her, and the following day she was leaving us
for good.
It was a hard one.
It broke my heart.
We were so close.
Everyone had planned to go to the airport with her.
I couldn't.
I couldn't watch her go.
Last
thing
I said to her was, put your hood up, don't look back.
Because if you see mum and dad crying, you ain't going to want to go.
I said, this is the next chapter of your life.
Don't look back, because nothing's going to change here.
I was so young and I was so scared.
OK,
so my name's Soraya.
I come from England, so that makes me instantly more superior than all of you.
I walk into FCW, which is...
You know, before NXT, and I look around, and I just thought, I think I've made
a mistake.
We had about approximately 60 students, but she wasn't friends with a lot of
them.
I came in with previous wrestling experience, and some of the other girls
intimidated by that.
I'm not going to lie, people were nice to me.
The only person that was nice to me was Summer Rae.
FCW is very cutthroat.
Everyone's trying to get to the main roster.
I didn't know that she was getting such from people.
I remember they used to throw me out the locker room and stuff, and, like, they
would move my stuff, and they told me not to put my stuff in the shower, and
they were just awful.
I would be like, screw them, you know? Like, who cares about them? They may not
even last that long. You just have to keep going.
I remember calling my mom and dad for, like, three or four months, and I was
crying my eyes out.
These phone calls were really... frequent at the start until she settled
Many times she wanted to come home.
My dad said, if you call me one more time crying, I'm not going to answer the
phone anymore.
He was like, I promise you in six months you'll feel a lot better.
All I'm saying is give it time. It's your big moment.
They're going to test you.
I remember kicking the door down one day and I was like, I'll beat your ass if
you touch my again.
And then they stopped.
And so we see Rollins celebrating a victory, a well -deserved victory.
Hold on a second. Rose is looking at somebody.
I know who that is. That's the enchanting raven -haired lady.
So the typical diva look in WWE is, you know, the cookie cutter diva with blonde
hair and tan and big boobs and just like looking fantastic.
I come walking in and I have, I'm just so like a little emo, you know, I'm
really pale.
Now I'm what you call an anti -diva.
I don't care what people think of me. They're like, we need a name.
So I came up with a list, and one of the names I chose was Paige, and that's
because I grew up watching Charmed, and there was Rose McGowan on there, who was
absolutely beautiful, pale with a butt chin, which is me.
From Norwich, England, Paige!
Well, we finally figured out at least one thing. The name of that raven
beauty, the woman who is as pale as a full moon. Her name is Paige.
And people took to me, like, when we were doing shows at SDW, like, people
seeing something different, I think.
SDW just had this, like, cool, ma and pa, kind of low -level, low -budget
vibe to it. But as there was, like, the rumblings of NXT beginning and
understanding, okay, there's, like, this new show that's going to be happening,
and there's, like, the TV side of it that was being attached to it.
This is a massive deal for us.
It'll be fun to be in 60 different countries and possibly be online, so
looking forward to the opportunity. We hope you like it. People will see me at
home in England.
Oh, my gosh.
Once we made the transition from FCW to NXT, the administration was new, new
people coming in who were working in the office, and they all acknowledged that
Paige had something.
I know what I gave it's supposed to be.
No.
Oh, my!
Look at Paige. Look at the power right there.
Once people in positions of power got to see Paige and they got to see the way
people reacted to Paige, I think she helped usher in this period where we
get to see a lot more variety in the women that we see on TV.
We are about to crown a brand new women's champion.
It was between me and Emma to win the NXT Women's Championship.
The opportunity to be immortalized here in NXT.
Paige in complete control right now over Emma.
They let us do a double suplex off the top rope, which was a very big deal back
then for women.
Wait a minute. No!
A suplex, yes!
They were just able to be great performers, not, oh, this is a girls'
that's really good. It was, oh, this match is really, really good.
Here is your winner.
And new NXT Women's Champion.
She
signified
change. This girl.
was really really good in the ring and it was almost like a turning of a new
leaf in the company that women's abilities in the ring that that was
celebrated she was the perfect woman to like kick that off at nxt they gave me
my first ever merch shirt and it was it said think again on it i was like what
does that mean hunter told me what you think is your typical diva well think
again and it sold out so quick so they were just like
Maybe we can do something with her.
I was NXT Women's Champion for 301 days.
She's only 21 years old. She's very young, but the girl's got a bright
And I get, like, a random text on my phone.
Hey, Paige, this is DJ.
I would love to speak to you at some point today.
Let me know when you're available.
And I'm like, who the hell is DJ?
Scream in the camera, guys!
So going into WrestleMania is very, very cool to be like, holy crap, this is it.
This is the grandest stage of them all. This is WrestleMania.
I'm here.
And then I get, like, a random text on my phone. And it says, hey, Paige, this
is DJ.
I would love to speak to you at some point today.
Let me know when you're available. And I'm like, who the hell is DJ?
It's Dwayne Johnson, you idiot.
And I was like, oh, my God.
He was like, hey, so, first of all, I'm Dwayne. And I was like, no, right? And
he was like, I couldn't sleep one day. And I stumbled across your family's
documentary, Fight With My Family, and we're going to make a movie on it. I
immediately connected with it because I come from a family of wrestlers, too, as
well. And at one time, my family were small -time promoters, like Paige's
family. So, yeah, there was really...
Something really special about the documentary that I saw, and I felt then
I saw it that this would be a really interesting movie.
Oh, and by the way, I was in the writer's room, which between us, you're
to be debuting on Raw tomorrow.
And it was just, I just didn't know how to act. I was a mess.
Then the next day comes around, doors were like 15 minutes before, and I just
was so nervous, and I just couldn't stop crying. Like, I'm Raw after
WrestleMania. This is one of the biggest Raws you'll ever be a part of. 15 ,000
WWE fans sold out here in New Orleans.
I am the savior of your Divas Division.
I am the Divas Division.
I remember once you come out and I'm like, okay, what's going on?
So, Paige, the cover.
She shocked the world, became the youngest ever Divas champion.
That was unbelievable.
The moment that she won, I think I levitated. I
don't think I've ever jumped that high ever.
AJ can't believe it. Paige can't believe it. I can't believe it.
I've been trying to get through my whole wrestling career.
So this is literally my dream come true.
She's left me speechless on more than one occasion, that little.
I asked Paige how her life has changed over the past week since winning the
Divas title, and she told me, people know me now.
I just won this championship, and then there was an influx of people just
knowing who I was, and that was really intimidating.
And then the next week that I wrestled, it was like, oh, I'm really here. I'm
really on the main roster now.
Being called up means that you're getting the call from NXT up to the main
roster. You're up to the big leagues, babe.
This is my house now!
WWE really gave me this huge push.
They put me in commercials.
Who are you going to be?
Party City and PartyCity .com.
I'm featured on TV every week. Please welcome WWE Diva Hayes.
And back at it again with the Facebook Live.
It was definitely a whirlwind. Like, I was on all the live events. Like, I was
very, very busy. And then they asked me a couple months in if I want to be part
of Total Divas.
Total Divas was a reality show that started in 2013.
It was the first ever look at the lives of women in WWE, and, like, there was
never, ever, ever a shortage of drama on that show.
I was just like, as long as it doesn't affect my storylines in wrestling, like,
I would absolutely love to be a part of Total Divas.
I felt cool.
I was young. I was, like, 21. I was like, I had not had a childhood at that
point.
I have friends finally. I didn't have any friends even up to that point.
You're constantly showing emotions. When there's cameras around, you want to put
your guard up, but when you stand up for a reality show, you're not allowed to.
It's hard because you know you're going to be judged for the way you think, the
way you act, the way you do anything.
Because I have one weekend where I mess up, everyone's going to judge me for it.
She's always loved the spotlight.
But I think finding her feet and making mistakes made the internet harder for
her, which made her self -esteem take a little bit of a knock.
I feel like any celebrity is going to have just haters online.
Of course, I think it affects her negatively sometimes.
I had that fight with myself all the time, like, will I ever feel like I'm
enough? Being in the ring and being at the show was perfect.
It was not being able to deal with the outside life of it.
And there is the woman who spearheaded the diva revolution, Paige.
Paige embodied that pretty different female performer.
It really showed the company that they could put faith in the women.
If you don't like the world that you live in, you have the
power to change it.
Diva's era is behind us now at this point. All these amazing things are
happening for the women.
Diva's revolution is finally starting.
People are taking us more seriously. We have all these wonderful women coming
up. And then I go, huh.
You know, I had my first neck injury.
It was a lot of wearing tear because, you know, I love to bump around.
I couldn't feel anything down my arm. And then it started coming back, but
it was like pins and needles, and I couldn't even hold a cup.
Let's say it could be anywhere from a week of physical therapy to six weeks.
Possibly surgery. I mean, we're going to lay it all out there.
Hopefully surgery is a small percentage. Probably talk anywhere from eight to
ten months.
You never get to reap the benefits of your sacrifices.
And I feel like she sacrificed so much to help the women's revolution.
I can't even imagine what that must be like because if your heart and soul is
one thing and it's the one thing you can't touch, I don't know how you deal
that.
I've never not worked.
And so that was when everything just started going wrong.
I was in an awful relationship at the time, and then I had awful friends
me, and just people that weren't good for my mental health or just a good
influence on me whatsoever.
I was just drinking, and then the pain never fully went away on my neck. So
I wanted to try and take the pain away, and then it was like Percocet.
I love those. And then I started doing a lot of cocaine, too.
In the beginning, when you try and help, you know, you get told to back off very
abruptly.
I would always try to stay in touch with her as much as I could, but honestly,
it was really hard sometimes to stay in touch with her, whether she's not
responding to text.
Did she change her phone number?
What is going on? It was definitely a really scary time.
There was a period of time where I hadn't heard from her for months, and I
remember, I don't know if I'm ever going to see her again.
I was just in a very, very bad place mentally.
I was completely broken down.
And then, in the middle of that, I had some sex tapes released to me from when
was 19 years old.
People were just so mean to me, even in the street and stuff like that. Then I
started doing more drugs and drinking more.
She was getting night terrors.
She was freaking out.
She couldn't sleep. She couldn't eat. She was losing weight.
I thought that my family hated me. I thought WWE hated me.
I'm going to be open.
I was cutting myself.
I was just like, I never thought I'd be like that, that pleasant to do that and
stuff like that. But once you're in that mindset where you just like can't feel
anything else.
Absolutely convinced. I was like, this is it. I don't want to be around
I'm just going to kill myself. That's what I wanted to do.
I feel like people have lost respect for everything that I've done. And the
thing that they're going to remember me by is a freaking sex tape.
My daughter was about five and a half stone, dripping wet.
You could see her ribcage.
Like, she was a skeleton with skin on it.
And that's how my little girl came to me.
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm getting angry.
So my beautiful little princess, that was feisty and strong, was
broken.
I called my dad and I said, I'm so sorry.
But the first thing my dad said,
he was so supportive.
He was like, you had sex, everyone does it. He was like, unfortunately, you're
in the public eye and you have a lot more spotlight on you. And he was like,
just have to be strong enough to get through it.
Being told by my dad that it's okay, like, it made me feel a little bit
which is good.
It was
just a whole whirlwind of just
absolute craziness in the space of, like, a year.
Eventually, something, like, just really snapped, and I was just like, I'm so
tired of living like this.
Like, I just wake up feeling awful. I spend my days feeling awful.
Like, I just got very tired of living the way I was living.
But WWE, the whole time, were constantly trying to reach out to me and
constantly trying to help me. And they brought me to Connecticut. And, you
they asked me if I needed help. And eventually, you know, I did ask for
help. I was like, I really want to go back to Florida now.
And they booked my flight literally the same day. They were like, get your
stuff, get on this flight.
Once she started reconnecting with the people that she cared about, I
noticed a positive change in her.
When I saw Paige at the Performance Center, she looked great. She seemed
she was in a better place.
And I think she just really wanted to get back to where she was and to regain
what she had lost.
We are here at Raw in Houston, Texas, and this is my, well, my official first
week back.
She got cleared to compete again in 2017, and even though she was off the
and the drugs, I still believe that she was having a big fight with mental
health.
My first day back on the road was the most intimidating thing ever because I
thought, okay, I'm back on the road.
What's everyone's reaction going to be? Are they going to judge me because of
these tapes? Are they going to judge me because I was an addict?
I was really scared.
Yay!
Walking in, everyone was just so happy.
They all just said, we thought you were going to die. We're just really happy
that you're here.
When it comes to, like, walking out, that's when I started getting full body
shakes again.
I was so scared about walking out there. I was like, they're going to boo me out
the building.
Stephanie gave me a big hug, and she said, this is your house.
I was trying to hold back tears as well, so I'm just looking around. It gives me
chills now. I'm like, this is really cool.
People like me.
Raya wanted to perform more than anything, and she was willing to
much.
When she got cleared, I just said to her, be careful, Raya. With talk, it's
like, how's your neck? Is it tweaking? Is it niggling? Are you getting any
Is there anything at all?
Now I'm good.
Now I'm good.
Well, at one stage, one of those bumps was going to fall foul.
I remember going to a live event.
I get this kick in the back.
I had, like, this lightning bolt shoot through my body, and then I fell down,
and I can't feel my arms and legs, and I'm just like, am I paralyzed?
I remember seeing her hit the canvas the way she did and knowing pretty
immediately there was something pretty wrong.
They start bringing down these stretches, and I'm like, please don't
a stretch. I don't want to go on a stretch today.
I was like, just give me a couple of minutes before we come back.
I sit up. Everyone starts applauding.
Then I walk out the room.
They fly me to Pittsburgh to go see the doc.
And he took a bunch of x -rays. And he was just like, first of all, you're
you're not completely paralyzed.
My spinal cord.
took so much impact it's like i got in a really terrible car crash and the
spinal fluid around my spine that it was non -existent a certain area so if i
get tapped in there a little bit i could be fully paralyzed a second time you
might not be as lucky yeah i know i already came back for three weeks and
already i had something so yeah okay so i guess like that would be it for me
like that's it
Well, I mean, there are other things you can do. You're incredibly talented.
Especially if it's not on your own terms, it's the most heartbreaking thing
that can happen to a wrestler is to be taken out.
And I'm just like, I don't know what to do.
I'm just not wrestling anymore.
No. Seriously?
I wish I could hug you, baby.
to neck injuries, I can no longer perform as an in -ring competitor.
This is one of the hardest things I'll ever have to say in my entire career.
is where I debuted on the Divas Championship.
And four years later, New Orleans is where I want to retire.
This will always be my house.
And straight away, you flash back to what you've just gone through.
For those couple of years, you've seen her down and out and at her worst, and
you're sitting there thinking, are we going to have to go through this again?
Is this going to be worse this time?
But the saving grace is that she'd been through all of that.
At this point in my life, I knew that I still wasn't going to hit rock bottom.
This is not going to be an excuse for me to start drinking and doing drugs
again.
And having someone there that actually supports you and wants you to be healthy
and has your best interest, it helps motivate you.
Ronnie and Raya have been friends before they were in a relationship.
He brought the smile back to Raya.
I don't like taking credit. I don't. I think she genuinely just kind of saved
herself, you know. We just completely stopped drinking together.
And we both decided to go vegan and stuff like that.
The way that she carries herself, she's been special.
The whole movie was done by the time that I got back from my
neck and got over drugs.
What's up, you guys?
I was just really, really happy that it just grew to, like, what it was. The
insecurity kept peeking around, and I was just like...
The movie, people aren't going to be interested in my story.
To have done all that she has by her mid -20s is pretty incredible. And I think
the beautiful thing is, for her, her story is definitely not over.
My daughter's had mountains to climb and to tumble down the other side of.
But she's only 30, and she's accomplished so much.
And I feel...
that my daughter's got to live another seven lifetimes before she's finished.
One thing Soraya has left us in her legacy here is using your voice and not
being afraid of who you are. And when I see what the women are doing today, I
know that Paige has been such a massive part of that.
At the end of the day, WWE can give you the platform.
Or they can give you, you know, the brass ring. This is what you do with it
afterwards.
Still young. That's what I always thought. Still young. Still gorgeous.
You're always going to be talented.
She's got that charisma. She's got the character. She's got the confidence.
She's got that spark.
Put a camera in front of her and everything just lights up. People love
She's infectious.
At 30 years old, the world truly is her oyster.
You can do anything you put your mind to, and that's a very corny thing to
I suppose, but...
She's shown that that's the truth. The sky's the limit and she has not reached
her full potential yet.
I got Ronnie, my family, there's a movie about my life.
I can't complain because everything is still so wonderful.
I'm proud of what I've done and I'm proud of what I could potentially do in
future too.
