Sportskeeda meets NXT UK Superstar Jinny
Ahead of the return of NXT UK, we caught up with WWE's Fashionista - Jinny. That interview continues below...
So, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, all these incredible people that you guys work with as part of NXT UK. I think we are two years into you signing with WWE, but I think three years after you debuted roughly.
In that time, what is the most surreal thing that's happened to you?
So, I debuted for WWE back in 2017. I signed with them in May of 2018. Gosh, it was just so surreal. I remember being at WrestleMania Axxess, and it was myself versus Toni Storm, and it was just absolutely incredible.
The most surreal thing that's happened to me during that time is... It is working with Triple H. It is working with Shawn Michaels. It is being part of the company, working for the company that I grew up watching, and that made me fall in love with wrestling - so, every single day, it's surreal. It's my dream turned into reality. I really can't put it into words.
So as far as I'm aware, the NXT UK Superstars were still working as much as wrestlers can work during lockdown. There were Skull Sessions and acting seminars available to the NXT UK talents.
Is that something that you took the opportunity to do anything with, or were you just trying to stay in physical shape? How were you working during lockdown?
I was doing both. I'm very lucky to have a gym in my garage, so having that there was definitely a game-changer. Even though I have a gym in the garage, I like to go to the gym because you get a different energy and a different vibe when you're there, so it kind of pushes you to work out. But it was great to have that there.
Also, the Skull Sessions and the acting sessions as well. You want to be a well-rounded performer. You want to stick out. You want to make a statement so any sort of help, any sort of training that you can get, you always have to jump at it and it was really nice to have those in place as well because it was a new normality for us. So having some sort of routine in place was great. It keeps you focused.
