Peyton Royce On Who Inspired Her To Become A Professional Wrestler
Peyton Royce of The IIconics recently appeared on Lilian Garcia’s podcast Chasing The Glory with Lilian Garcia and spoke about what originally got her interested in professional wrestling. We’ve included some highlights below:
Who inspired her to get into wrestling?
“It never crossed my mind that I can do that. I hate that it comes back into my head, but it was the day Eddie Guerrero died. That was it for me. I used to pray at night and tell him that I was going to do this for you because you gave me all these memories and all these feelings and I just wanted to give back to others the way you gave to me. He was so charismatic. He would make me feel happy. He would make me laugh. He was so amazing to watch in the ring. He was so athletic and entertaining. I wanted to be able to speak Spanish, actually, I am taking Spanish now. I wanted to take Spanish in school because I wanted to talk like him, he was a big inspiration for my life.”
On training with Lance Storm:
“It was the best three months of my life because you get to go to another country and experience another country and get to do what you love for three months. You don’t have to work, you just go to training, go to the gym, eat some good food and you do it day in and day out. You meet people and form these relationships from people all over the world and you keep those connections. Lance [Storm] has been amazing to me ever since I have done the camp back in 2012, he’s always been such a big supporter and motivator. He is still always there for me up until this day,”
On being thankful for her NXT run and her call up to the main roster with Billie Kay:
“There have been so many times where I kind of reflect and think, man, I remember as a teenager dreaming about it and now I am doing it. So many people that didn’t believe in me and thought it was a phase I was going through, I proved them wrong. It’s such a wonderful feeling.”
