>>12710707"I had a great time. I feel like WWE is a place of misfits. We're all a little weird and janky, so I fit in kind of perfect there. With that being said, I didn't always feel like I was meant to be in WWE, or, at least a wrestler. I didn't always think I was supposed to be a wrestler. It was early on, I didn't pick it up really fast, I was kind of hesitant, I saw a lot of injuries, and by seeing a lot of injuries, I didn't know if it was for me or not. I'm not going to lie, I'm a wimp. People in WWE are some badass people. They're putting their life on the line, breaking their bones, finishing matches, getting staples in their head and they keep going. That's so hardcore. That's not me. I'm not hardcore. I wish I was, but I'm not. I'm a fragile little bean.
"I actually loved WWE. Had so much fun, loved my friends, but I didn't love wrestling. I remember when I came back with my mom and dad for the New Year. I was like, 'I have different ideas for different shows. Maybe I could pitch this show similar to The Bump, but different, a Bump version at NXT.' I was trying to pitch different show ideas I could do. Pretty much, I was like, 'I'm in the WWE, I don't necessarily want to wrestle, but maybe I can do this whole hosting thing since I love it so much.' I remember talking to people on cameras and in the social media department, and they shut it down. 'You're really supposed to wrestle, you're not supposed to tamper outside of what you're doing. If they know you're not passionate and into wrestling, they'll fire you.' I'll keep showing up, I'll keep going to promo classes, I'll keep working on my mic skills, maybe they'll see me on the mic and be like, 'You know what, head to the mic. That's all you're going to do. You're going to be a valet and someone who is a talker. It's okay if you don't wrestle very often.' That's what I was hoping for."
