On the 11th of September 2001, a terror attack struck New York and as many as 2996 innocent people fell prey to it and over 6000 people were injured.

One of those 2996 people who lost their lives was Michael, Thea's dad. He was working on the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center's North Tower when the attacks took place and unfortunately lost his life.

When she was performing in a WWE Live event as a part of the Rosebuds at the Madison Square Garden (MSG) and Wildwood, NJ in 2014, Thea got emotional and in an interview with Brooklyn eagles, she paid homage to her dad.

She said, "my dad was a wrestler in high school. He was really good and had a great amateur background, but it was always his dream to be in the WWE. When I got to MSG, I had to look around and just take it in. I talked to him in the locker room and, of course, I cried. I really felt like it was not a coincidence that I was performing at these two venues. I was like, 'He's up to something. I told myself, ‘I’m going to do this for me, but also for him."
