• 0:55
  Speaker 1: goes in your luggage and it goes home.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: This comes with me everywhere.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: I don't have multiple oh is I mean they have
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: some just in case because there was an issue when
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I think Ronda Rowsey left it on a plane one time,
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: and they're not cheap, so they always make sure just
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: in case somebody happens to lose it or leave it somewhere.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: But this comes everywhere with me.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: It's funny. We did years and years ago. We had
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: road Warrior Animal on with us and they had him
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and Hawk both lost their tag titles and then found
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: them like years after they left the company.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: So he just had it. He's like, oh, look I
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: got a souvenir. I'm like, dude about outed him to TMZ.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: What your Your partnership feels natural and super not forced.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So I want to start with Naya. What is that like?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Because you I feel like you have the ability to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: bridge to whatever the next generation of Ladies is because
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: there was you know, there was there was the trist
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Stratus you know era, and then it kind of moved
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: into your current era where it became the Ladies became
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: dominant performers once again, less divas yeah, and more featured.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And it feels like you are the champion that could help,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you know, bring in whoever's next.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I've been saying that we are like this
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: is the best roster we've ever had. We are the
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: pinnacle of the women's like wrestling. And you know, we
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: have this young little lightning in a bottle, Tiffany Stratton,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: and she encompasses everything. She's got the looks, she's got
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: the brain, she's got the athleticism, and that's kind of
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: the caliber we have right now in WWE. And I
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: think because she is so young and she's getting it
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: so well that it's an easy, uh partnership with me
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: and her because I have the knowledge of like, you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: old school ways and how to be respectful and certain
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: like ways to deal with things, and she's learning as
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: she goes, and so it's easy for me to be
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: there to help her out because you know, she's I
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: call her the franchise. You know, she's the next ten
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: years of wrestling and she gets it. So it's it's
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: really cool to see the franchise.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty bad ass moniker, I'll.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Be honest, the franchise. Maybe she used that as my
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: little sloge.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: It feels like a T shirt. Yeah, but I'm gonna say,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna edit this out.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You should and then when it comes out, we'll clip it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: You have, Tiffany.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: It feels like there's so much trust and belief in
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you within the company That doesn't happen to young superstars
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and young wrestlers. But it feels like I don't want
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to say they're throwing at you, because then it entails
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you don't deserve it. But it feels like there's a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: lot of they're investing a lot in your bank pun
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: intended right now, what does that mean for you to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: walk in the door and immediately have people.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Back in you.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I've only been doing this for like
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: two and a half three years now, and you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I just got called up and kind of wasn't really
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: expecting to be kind of skyrocketed to you know, like
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: have been like being so over with the crowd and
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: then you know, money in the bank and stuff like that.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: So it's definitely very reassuring, just because I do like
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: I have a problem with putting too much pressure on
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: myself and sometimes like when I underdeliver, I'm really hard
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: on myself. But like lately I've been kind of you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: reassured with everything in the crowd and the in the
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: briefcase and stuff like that. So I feel like I'm
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: a lot more confident now, especially now versus you know
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: back of my nixt days and I definitely feel like
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I am ready for whatever gets thrown at me.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Outside of your in ring performance.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: You have this ability and and I don't know if
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it's something that's taught through learning promos, but it's it's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the stone cold effect where you can walk in which
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: sounds big, but let me explain where you can walk
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in the ring and you can be like, I'm hearing
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: this town full of idiots and you'll get a huge
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: pop in the word idiots. Yeah.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Is that something that just happened for you or or
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: is it something that you worked on?
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I feel like it kind of just happened.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say, like, you know, I'm practicing at home
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: calling people idiots and stuff, but yeah, I don't know.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's just who I am. It's what Tiffy Time's
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: all about. People just love to be called idiots.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, I just think Tiffy Time is such a
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: cool breath of fresh air to our division, and I
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: think it's what the audience has been wanting from us,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Like she brought in such a different era of being
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: like I am the hottest, the cutest, I'm a Barbie doll,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: but I'm also a really good athlete. I can go hard.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: I know that she was thrown a challenge. When she
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: first got called up. There was a double taping where
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: she had two singles matches in the same night and
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: a backstage and this is literally right after she got
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: called up, and she over delivered. And so I think
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: when the crowd started seeing that she was she's putting
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: in the work and that she's actually delivering in these
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: crazy matches, that they were there behind her. And so
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: she does have that effect, that stone cold effect where
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: they love to hate her but still love her.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's still people will hate you, but like your
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: t shirts are still going to sell up.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh before halfway through the show.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Which, by the way, you can buy this briefcase on merch.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Can I tell you somebody I heard an interview recently
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: where someone's like, oh, they should sell that, and I'm like,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: did you hear that?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I'm like, way to know the product.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I actually knew that because my son liked
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the Damien Priest. When he does, so, my daughter who's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: thirteen's like, oh, maybe if they're selling that, you know tonight,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I can I'm like.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot of his allowance.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I feel like you've also ushered in it. Maybe it's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: different creative, different leadership. It used to be the female superstars,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you can be beautiful and go out and do beautiful
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: stuff and if you're a badass.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Well then just go Rex Shop.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: But now I feel like we're in an era where
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you can do both and I want obviously you've been
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: with the company longer. Does that feel accurate?
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Yes, I mean I know that when I was previously booked,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: it was more of like the slow lumbering giant sort
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: of bookie for me when I was wrestling, And so
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think the you know, the audience was really
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: getting behind it, because I think they love where it's
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: going now to where we all the women are athletes,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Like you can't sit here and pinpoint like every single
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: girl all the way down to NXC. We have top
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: tier athletes and they're all beautiful. So like we deliver both.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: You know, it's the beauty and the beast effect for
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: all of us. And so I think the crowd is
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: it's what they've been wanting and we're delivering right now.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Plus you know, we have the tutelage of Triple H
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: who's really pushing us, the women to the next level.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I love that and it has to feel good as
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: well that you're we'll call it the second chapter of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: your career. It feels like you. I don't want to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: say you weren't having fun, but it feels like you're.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Every time you walk out your it's your face almost
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: says finally right.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Because it feel that way a little bit.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: It feels really good, you know. And the time away
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: was good because it helped reset myself. But I'm coming
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: in here for with a different like motivation, a different passion,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: and I'm actually having just so much fun, you know,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: with my backstage girls, with my Tiffy on the road.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: I'm appreciating everything a lot more.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It does feel, and I pay attention to y'all on
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: social media. It does feel very like Sorority Big Sister,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: like she's she's your what do they call him?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: SmackDown is at Bridgestone tonight, not a ton of tickets

• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and it's like that these cards don't slow down,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and so you wait for a TV like, oh, this
• 8:26

  Speaker 3: that story. Like I think Raw's very interesting for me.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I watched some really cool deep stories, and I think,

  Speaker 4: you know, we focus on what we do and so
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: we're not to focus on what everybody else is. So
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: when we get to sit back and watch, like obviously
