I really, really tried to stick it out, and like I said, things in wrestling change all time, and sometimes, that was my route, and it is what it is.”
Gisele Shaw On What’s Next
Shaw was also asked to comment on what was next for her.
“I’m just really trying to focus on myself, really hone my craft even more,” Shaw said. “There’s so many good wrestlers out there, but for me, I’ve always wanted to be the best of the best. So I just want to be ready, in-ring, physically, for whatever opportunity that is…I always used to be like, ‘I’m going to win the Knockouts Championship, and I’m going to win whatever.’
“But I feel like you put out energy, and then some people…just maybe it’s not so good to be so vocal all the time about what you want in life. So I’m gonna keep it a secret for now. But whatever that is….I would love [to win a title in WWE]. But you never know, I’m just gonna enjoy the ride. That’s it. I know I haven’t really said much about my future, but it is going to be a crazy one, it’s going to be adventurous, and I hope that you stick with me.”
