It took me forever to get comfortable. When I first started NXT, we had promo classes, and I used to get so upset because I couldn't get in front of a crowd and talk. I was terrified.
I've been very fortunate to be given the opportunities I've been given, and it's been awesome. You know I'm really looking forward to seeing how this Women's Evolution continues.
When it comes to the Alexa Bliss character, everyone says the character has to be an extension of yourself turned up. But I feel like I am the complete opposite of Alexa Bliss.
I got a lot of motivation from my character of people-watching. And if they do something that annoys me, I steal it and do it because I know it annoys other people. If it annoys me, it's going to annoy you.
Obviously, wrestling is a lot of fun, and I love it. But on the mic is where I have the most fun.
My dad is the biggest Lexie fan - ever since I was in gymnastics, he went to ever gymnastics meet, every cheer competition, every bodybuilding show.
If someone does something that makes me mad, well, chances are it'll probably make other people mad if I do it, too. I like to think, 'What's the meanest thing, the rudest thing I can say right now?' Or how can I completely discredit someone? That's just my mentality.
My first day on SmackDown, I believe I had a speaking segment, and I went out, and I decided if I was going to come in as an underwhelming draft pick, because let's be honest - I was. No one was really excited to have me, because I didn't do these amazing things in NXT! I decided to come in under the radar and kick down the door.
I love 'Talking Smack.' It is so much fun. We just literally go out there and say whatever we want. Somehow, it's never planned, but somehow I end up bickering with Daniel Bryan every single time.
I noticed the more muscle I put on, the more cushion and padding I had, the better my performances were getting. I decided I could be this little, stick-thin thing out there and be hurt all the time, or I could show my athleticism, and if it comes with a little bit of weight on the side, it is what it is.
My mentally for my character is you have to be first, better, or different. I know that I'm not the best at everything; in fact, I'm not the best at a lot of things, so I'm going to be different, or I'm going to be the first one to do it.
The one thing that was nice about being an only child is that my friends' parents would always ask me whether I would want any other brothers and sisters? My mom wasn't able to have any more children, and they didn't know that, but I would always say that I can have friends over, and whenever I get sick of them, I can just send them home.
When I was on SmackDown, I would say we had the most well-rounded women's division, and I think that's all because of the opportunities SmackDown gives. I think it was definitely the right place for me to start.
I think every woman on the roster wants to be at the main event for Wrestlemania. And if we ever get the opportunity to, it should be a match where every woman is involved.
I'd like to wrestle for as long as I can.
I love to talk. Everyone knows that you don't want to start a conversation with me unless you want me to end it the next day, because I never stop talking.
If I am with one person, I am very talkative, and personable. I will talk your ear off, but if there is another person interjected, I get so awkward. I am like the awkward one in those situations, but I feel like a lot of creative people are.
I love portraying different characters.
My ideal night for me, personally, is watching Disney movies and drinking a glass of wine by myself in the hotel room. That's my ideal night.
When I first joined with Murphy, I had to make a character change. I wasn't confident in myself about that at all, but I remember my mom telling me that once something clicks with me... I had to... come in and kick the door down and let everyone know who I am.
