Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn Feared Their Accents Would Hinder Their Progress In WWE

In a recent interview with The Sunday Post, WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn discussed their title reign and why they were afraid of their Scottish accents holding them back in WWE.

Fyre and Dawn will face WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler in a winners take all match on June 23.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

Dawn on the success of Scottish wrestlers in WWE: “There’s five million people in Scotland, so we’re one in a million. It’s so out of this world, because we are such a small country and we never thought this would happen. It’s a big opportunity for us to be inspirations for people in Scotland. We’ve got the accents, but we’re on live TV Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. We’re hoping that we can show people that you can come from Scotland and the sky’s the limit. We’re testament to that.”

Fyre on being surprised by their success: “We always thought the accents would hold us back, but they love it here. We never thought a couple of wee lassies from Johnstone and Glesga could ever be doing this!”

Dawn on their relationship with other Scots on the roster: “We weren’t all best mates and hung out all the time, but we all really supported each other and we would give feedback to each other constantly. We’re like a wee gang that push each other to be better. I’ve come back from a match and the Scottish boys have said ‘ah that wasn’t your best’ and they’ll give you the hard truth and it makes me better. We’ve got a wee community supporting each other, and now we’re all in America, having fun!”
