On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE NXT star Fallon Henley stated that she didn’t grow up as a fan of professional wrestling and didn’t want to pursue it until watching Total Divas years later.
The E! reality series featured several women from the WWE roster at the time, including The Garcia Twins (The Bella Twins), Alexa Bliss, and others, and that’s what inspired Henley to choose wrestling as her profession.
Henley said, “So I was never somebody who grew up watching wrestling. It just wasn’t in my household. I didn’t really have any friends or family that were super into it. And it’s something I kind of found while I was in college … Not gonna lie, ‘Total Divas’ brought me into it, but from there, I started watching ‘NXT,’ ‘SmackDown,’ [and] ‘Raw,’ on a regular basis. Every single week, I was there at the TV, ready to go. From there, I was like, ‘This is what I want to do.’”
