Former TNA Knockout Velvet Sky recently spoke with Sports Illustrated’s “Extra Mustard” blog about her thoughts on the current women’s divisions in WWE and NXT and how she feels she would fit into both brands. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On the women’s divisions in WWE and NXT and how she would be a good fit for either brand:
“The women there are killing it, and empowering and building up the women would be a great role for me. Bayley is so much fun to watch wrestle. She has so much energy and passion, and the people feel her energy and feed off that. She’s so great at expressing herself, and she’s so genuine. Nattie Neidhart is also someone I’d love to work with. I’ve known her for a long time, and she is someone that I look up to and respect. She’s someone I’d love to learn even more from.”
On some of the guys she’s traveled with succeeding in WWE and how she would love the same opportunity:
“I traveled all over the globe with them in TNA, so to see them excel on the level they’re at now, I’m so happy for them,” she said. “You’re never fully satisfied or fulfilled in wrestling until you get to the big leagues. Nobody gets in this business just to bump. I’ve never stopped learning, so I’m glad I have not worked there yet. All I ever wanted in the business was a chance, an opportunity. If I get that with WWE, I’ll give so much.”
