>Well... are....
>My, my. Aren't I getting popular?>Ratings. Merch sales. Ticket sales.>And challengers to boot.Ash pauses and looks up at the ring, clicks her tongue and adjusts the title over her shoulder.

I've heard what you've said about me right here, tonight.>And, here's the funny thing.>Somehow.>Every. Single. Thing you've said, regarding me...>Is incorrect.>And Jesus, am I sick... of people choosing to just MAKE SHIT UP instead of have the guts to say some shit about me that's real!>Know who I am?
