On carrying the WWE mantle at their TNA crossover: “I’m deeply honored to have Shawn Michaels’ trust in me. The fact is mind-boggling, but it validates all the sweat and perseverance. I’ve been at this for about a decade. My journey has unraveled the way it’s destined to unfold, and now I’m on the brink of carving history with the NXT-TNA crossover.”
On her anticipated match with Grace: “When I was still on the independent circuit, I’ve always dreamt of facing Jordynne Grace. I’m truly excited about the prospect of wrestling her in TNA. This means the world to me. This isn’t just a match, it’s my life. I’m eager and ready for her.”
