On how much her Grand Slam match with Thunder Rosa meant to her: “The Thunder Rosa match at [AEW] Grand Slam in Arthur Ashe Stadium, it opened up doors for me, and I was so grateful for Thunder Rosa for that because now, like you were saying, it’s important to build yourself, your brand, be authentic, be genuine. That’s what’s [important] for me is connecting with the fans, connecting with the crowd, and just being true to yourself.”

On getting to appear on Monday Night Raw: “With WWE, it has been an honor to be on Monday Night ‘Raw.’ [It] was a huge accomplishment, to not be signed and l have that opportunity with three of the best women in the business today. Bianca Belair was the women’s champion at the time.”
