So, you spent a few years in WWE. I'm sure you made some amazing connections. Before we started recording, you told me I sound like Nikki Cross!
Who are your best friends in WWE? Who will you keep in touch with?
Well, I have a couple of people I will keep in touch with for sure but, like, Nikki has my heart. Nikki is different. Nikki and Raul Mendoza. They are like... I have no words for them. Since day one, Nikki was so helpful and I had, like, my first matches against her, so she's so special. She always helps me with everything. I'm so thankful to have her, to have Raul, Raul's always in my house, we're always together. I really like a lot of people there, but those two are like my bestest friends there!
She's amazing. Oh, wait, wait, I'm going to show you something then. Stay here.
Look what I have here!
That was like a really special moment. Yeah, it's a special moment. I was not able to go to her wedding because of my visa. I didn't have my visa... The right visa to travel back then and I was helping her to choose the dress for her wedding, so it was a really special moment.
Finally, what are you most excited about going forward now that you have this opportunity to spread your wings?
Japan. Japan, for sure. I don't even need to think. It's like, it's one thing that I will do for sure. It's something that came before WWE. It's something from my passion for judo. I've had this dream since, I don't know, since I was eight, nine, so it's something bigger than everything else. You know, I need to do it. I want to be able to go there, to learn, to have matches, so I'm so excited for that.
