Purrazzo talks about landing her ‘dream job’ with WWE:
“Your dream job comes along once in a lifetime. So, to give up other opportunities wasn’t a big deal to me because this is where I wanted to be. I wanted to be a part of NXT. I wanted to come to the Performance Center every day and work towards being a WWE superstar one day.
I’ve loved this — professional wrestling, sports entertainment — my entire life. The moment I stepped in the ring was it for me and everything I’ve been able to do since then is just kind of icing on the cake. I love it. Not many people are fortunate enough to do their dream every single day, to live their dream every single day so I just have to remember that and be fortunate for that and be really happy to love what I do every day.”
