On the state of today’s WWE women’s division:
“They are getting the chance to shine and utilize the talent they have. It’s great. It’s a good time to be a woman in WWE right now. I think if you’re a woman coming up and need something to aspire to there are some positive role models. The girls are doing a fantastic job.” … “I think it’s a good thing that I really can’t pick one girl that stands out. I think everyone is doing something unique and giving a different flavor. My whole thing in the past was the characters weren’t being developed. You couldn’t get a sense of who these women were, which was a shame because you wanted to resonate with them. But now these girls are all connecting in a lot of different ways.”
Natalya:
“I don’t know if it’s the new wave of talent that finally got Nattie a chance to get a fresh storyline. That made me excited that she finally got a chance to be in the spotlight – she deserves it, she’s earned it.” … “This is going to be so good for her. Look, she has waited patiently for a long time, playing the game, waiting for her shot. If she can bring some of that out in this heel turn, it will be good and fans will resonate with it because there will be truth behind it and it is genuine. A successful character or storyline is a success when it has a bit of realism it draws from. I’m excited. That is going to be so refreshing for her character.”
Charlotte:
“Charlotte is also amazing to me. She blew me away at WrestleMania 32, I was happy to see her shine at the grandest stage of our business. I’ve known Ashley since she was young, when Ric [Flair] would bring her around backstage, I watched her grow up. I remember seeing her when she had just started in NXT.”
