"That's all Paul [Heyman]. During the pandemic, when we were in the Thunderdome in Tampa. He and I were put on the Talking Smack post-show together. And at that time, we had never really worked together. We didn't know each other very well. I immediately was like, 'Who the hell is this big, loud man taking over my talk show?' But then, over time, we just developed this relationship,'' she said.
The 33-year-old continued:
''And I grew to love him and learned from him. And then, because of our chemistry on that show, he's the one who pulled me into the storyline of The Bloodline, which, of course, is the biggest story going on in WWE. So, I was very fortunate, and I have Paul to thank for all of that.'' [From 3:38 to 4:09]

Tommy Dreamer believes a former WWE champion will join Paul Heyman's faction
Paul Heyman betrayed Roman Reigns and CM Punk to align with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41. Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker joined forces with The Wiseman and The Visionary on RAW after The Showcase of The Immortals.
In a recent episode of the Busted Open podcast, wrestling veteran Tommy Dreamer said that Sami Zayn would soon turn heel and join Paul Heyman's group. The ECW legend further mentioned how the former Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion had been dropping teases of his heel turn.
"I think Sami Zayn is going to turn, and I just have it in my gut, and another thing that I keep seeing is Sami is always giving looks, and if you go back and watch, Sami has a chair, and each week he's behind the group, and it just reminds me of that whole turning of The Shield," Dreamer said.
