My WWE Divas championship belt is pink and sparkly, but it doesn't mean I'm a princess. It means girls can kick butt!
As someone whose profession relies heavily on physical activity, I definitely felt extra pressure to get back to my pre-baby shape.
That's one reason I really love 'Supergirl.' It's a great show for people to watch with their children - sons and daughters alike. It features strong female characters which is always something to appreciate.
I would say my most disappointing moment was not competing in a match even though I was Divas Champion at 'WrestleMania XXVII.' Although, I did get to be a part of a fun backstage segment with Stone Cold, the Rock, and Mae Young... not too shabby!
In fact, one of my good friends is an amazing Bollywood choreographer. She once asked me to perform in one of her shows in college. So, I have danced to the Bollywood music and it was great fun. It is tiring and requires a certain level of fitness.
When it comes to the live events, you get to see great Diva matches you don't see on 'Monday Night Raw.'
One of my favorite courses to teach is when we go to the Air Force. We've done a few at Air Force bases. What's great about that is that it's a one-week course. It's five days and we work with them for about eight hours a day. We're not only teaching them self-defense, but we're also teaching them how to teach it on base to others.
Kids have to understand that they have control. Not their parents, not the principal, not the president of the U.S. It starts with them and it ends with them. To end this epidemic of bullying they have to standup for one another.
I always keep a good manicure because these are acrylics. They're the safest because your real nails are actually sharper than acrylics.
The moonsault - I climb to the top rope and back flip onto my opponent. It's very effective but can be risky if my opponent moves out of the way.
From a very young age I was someone who stood up for others and myself.
It's a great feeling to know that, through my hard work, I am adding to a long list of accomplishments for Latinas in the United States.
WWE wants women who are confident and can handle everything that being a WWE Diva comes with like lots of travel and being tough.
I have been in a 'man's' world as long as I can remember. I was an engineering major in college, I am a sports entertainer in the WWE, and I teach self-defense.
It's easy to say standup for yourself. The problem is if you don't feel like you're physically capable of handling the repercussions of that, especially at a young age, it's hard to do that.
I'm a really evil person on TV! It's way more fun to be the bad guy.
When I get home at night, then it's time for the real cleansing deal. I go to town either with the Clarisonic or ProActiv.
I wish new moms wouldn't be burdened with the pressure to get back into pre-baby shape so quickly.
When I went to college, I got an engineering degree and a full scholarship.
My parents never really pushed me, but I was so hard on myself. I would say I had some perfectionist quality, to a fault.
