I'm a believer in caring for your skin inside and out! A good way to do this is through vitamins.

Wrestling has always been on that edge of a cliff in many areas as far as what is politically correct and not.

I think people are just going to be people, and racism is a thing. If people have an inclination to be racist then they are going to be, and there is not a whole lot that you can do about it.

What All Elite Wrestling does is it just creates more opportunities for women.

For female wrestlers, it's always such a thin line, because every sport has its age limits, but when it comes to women, we seem to reach those age limits more quickly.

All Elite really just wanted to provide an alternative for people who were looking for anything different, and what we offer is some of the best talent in the entire world - male and female.

There have been for myself at times in wrestling, times when I had to say, 'Hey, wait a minute, I'm not really comfortable with that' or, 'That doesn't work for me.'

I don't have great lashes. They are kind of stumpy and they won't do what I want them to. I don't want to wear falsies everyday, and I don't want to get eyelash extensions.

My basics for a daytime look are simple: powder, gloss, brows and lashes.

I'm a huge fan of MAC's sheer pressed powder because it feels virtually weightless. I can actually wear it to the gym and not clog my pores.

I grew up figure skating, and in figure skating there is only a handful of black people at the time figure skating with me.

The one thing I like to do is challenge my body, so I just transition between a bunch of different workouts all the time.

I remember my agent calling and saying 'this may be really weird, but would you have any interest in WWE?' I was like, 'isn't that wrestling? And the last time I saw a WWE match was in my women's studies class at the University of Michigan, and they picked it apart. But she implored me to watch, and instantly I was interested.

I have spent my last few years training and aggressively becoming the best wrestler that I can and I will continue to do that but at the same time I've been in every major locker room of the professional wrestling world.

I love color, so it's rare to see me without at least a pop of a hot pink or bold red, even if it's just a lip color pop!

Pairing a sequin mini skirt with a velvet long sleeved bodysuit can never go wrong!

Often times, while filming 'WAGS Atlanta' with 3 male producers, we were told to dress 'WAGGY' for scenes, not realizing that WAG style isn't universal! WAG style can encompass a myriad of different looks.

I love Anthropologie when it comes to accessories. They just have it all!

There is a difference between being a wrestler and being a pro wrestler.

Everything that I've done in wrestling and hopefully going forward in entertainment has always been unique and genuine to who I am.

The 'AEW' women's championship will be the cornerstone of the women's division. The championship will be treated with the utmost respect and prestige. We hope to inspire future female wrestlers to dream of holding such a meaningful title.

For many female wrestlers, the opportunity to fight for the title represents the crowning achievement of their careers.

Many times, I would be on live television and have no idea what the next match is, and I'd have no clue who was coming out next. The last person to know is always the announcer, and it's always your fault if you make a mistake - even if you didn't know. I was always on top of everything and never said the wrong name or the wrong town.

There's no rules that say you can't have a friend at ringside. The rules say the friend can't interfere.

You never want to hear that somebody didn't get to come to your show because they felt unwelcome or they felt like they wouldn't fit in - any of those things, it's a terrible precedent to set.

I pretty much train every day.

I'm not one to say I'm gonna do something and not do it.

I know when someone is genuine, and I'm also a big believer in, if you aren't happy with something or you're not feeling passionate, God, you're not a tree, move. Go do something about it.

I've never broken a bone, I've never even sprained anything, so to be overseas and have my clavicle broken in two places was a bang-up job done by me.

I consider my path to be very different than anyone else's in wrestling and that's kind of something I pride myself in.

What I did sign was a tentative contract with Impact Wrestling when they were still Impact. That contract had a clause for me, because I was already working on some stuff in other areas of television. That clause basically said that if something else in television were to happen for me, they can't be uncooperative.

AEW is all about the bell to bell action. You're going to get more wrestling and less soapy backstage drama.

Personally, I'm a fan of valets and managers.

I was truly inspired by a lot of Sensational Sherri and Bobby Heenan's work.

Working on 'WAGS' is obviously very different than working on wrestling television. It's very different in the way that there is not nearly as much to do for 'WAGS.'

Women are stepping up, they are performing, they are showing that we are athletes as well and we deserve the attention we are getting.

Some people don't know why they have pride in something that they do.

I think in wrestling generally there is this good old boys' system. Where you always have a lot of men at the top and a lot of men making all the decisions.

It is a lot to learn, and unique, but it is commonplace here in Atlanta where the man takes care of things and the woman becomes a homemaker, and later on in the relationship, a mother, which isn't the things that I ever considered. I think Cody thought that I would want that for my life since he grew up in that, but that is just not me.

I go to all the haunted houses that I can get my hands on, and I grew up in Michigan, where there are a lot of back-woodsy haunted attractions.

Cody and I had a connection pretty quickly. We were engaged pretty quickly, but my moment where I knew this was definitely the person for me was when Cody asked me on a date to Halloween Horror Night at Universal Studios. Nobody had ever asked me on a date to Halloween Horror Night, and I had never been even though I am a horror fanatic.

Impact has always had a focus on their Knockouts. Back when WWE was not so focused on their Divas, Impact was still focused on their Knockouts. They were actually the stronger women's division for a long time, and that was the place to watch a match more than a couple of minutes.

I spent a lot of time wrestling at NXT. That was not seen because I was also an announcer. When you're an announcer, they try to protect you and make sure you don't get hurt or injured, or anything that would hinder you from your TV work.

When Cody won the Ring of Honor title, I rushed out of my seats, tripped on the steps, and bruised my leg in front of a couple fans. I just didn't want to miss a moment with him. That is how much I care about my husband, I care so much I get clumsy.

People know I take good bikini pictures, but I also want them to get to know who I am.

I'm a big fan of working for things. If everything was handed to me, I wouldn't appreciate it.

Being a part of the Women of Honor championship tournament is historical.

I honestly was supposed to always be a wrestler. I was never hired into any business as an announcer. That was just something I ended up falling into.

I'm true to myself, but I always have a soft spot for my husband no matter how nefarious I am.

One of my favorite characters to watch growing up was Sensational Sherri.
