On how she joined the WWE:
“I kind of went behind my mother’s wishes and tried out,” she revealed, now looking like a genius for her defiance. “I told her I was going to try out and she was like, ‘Ah, no you’re not.’ I ended up of going online and there was a link and it asked: ‘Do you want to be a WWE superstar?’ and I was like, ‘Why yes I do.’ I sent in a video and was able to get a tryout from that.”
Bliss joined Florida Championship Wrestling, then WWE’s developmental brand, which has since been rebranded to its wildly successful NXT. There, she was part of a resurgence for young wrestling talent that has helped NXT become the hottest wrestling brand in the world. It will hold its first Canadian show in November when NXT Takeover Toronto is held at the Air Canada Centre.
On Becky Lynch being both a friend and foe:
“As much as I hate to say it, Becky helped me, too,” Bliss admitted. “I’m going to be facing her, but I was there when Becky first started, I was there on her first day already. I saw her evolve into what she is now, and when she left to go to the main roster with the other three women, I saw everything that she could do, but she hasn’t seen everything that I’ve learned since then. After working with Becky, after working with Charlotte, Bayley was still in NXT and Bayley also helped me get to that next level. Bayley has given me some of my best matches to date and I’m really excited to see where I measure up to Becky now because I have been pushed to that limit, I have been training more, I have learned more things. Becky doesn’t know what’s coming.”
