Featured below are some of the highlights.

On how she received backlash for signing with AEW over WWE: “It was amazing really. I don’t hate WWE, and I had great conversations before we made our decision on where we were gonna go. My husband had great conversations before we decided where we were gonna go.”

On how her and Mike Bennett have great relationships with people in WWE: “I think that’s also the thing that people need to realize, too, is a lot of us keep great relationships everywhere.
