It gets to be tiring and you want to get sleep instead of get up and go to the gym. So you have to balance your time and go by how you feel.
I train five to six days a week, in developmental you're training in the ring and in the gym, so that's a crazy schedule. One you get to the main you're on your own and you do what you want.
I always said, even in Developmental, 'Yeah, I'm the beauty and all that. I'm the hot one, the sexy one - but I also have the brains and the strength to back it up.' So, that was my biggest thing.
Being a WWE Superstar, you have - I don't want to say a short shelf life, but it's more like sometimes you've got to look to the future and you've gotta plan ahead. It's not gonna last forever.
It's such a more mainstream demographic that watches 'Total Divas.'
We're all about performing and giving our audience and our fans the best entertainment we can.
Otis and I go way back to NXT and we've been friends since NXT, so it's very nice to know the person pretty well. You feel comfortable and I think it comes off more natural on TV as well, which is cool. He's obviously just so funny.
Being on 'Raw,' being part of the first-ever women's Royal Rumble match and the first-ever Elimination Chamber was incredibly exciting.
When you see the Elimination Chamber on TV, it obviously looks intimidating and huge. But when you're there in person and inside it, it's a whole different ballgame.
I've been passionate about fitness my entire life, and the ability to compete for the 'Tough Enough' crown is truly rewarding.
I didn't grow up dreaming of being the next WWE superstar, to be honest. But I think that it doesn't matter how old you are. When you see something you like, you want to pursue it.
I feel like in general that if Mandy Rose won the title, it would be more relevant. I have what it takes to be that mainstream woman on every billboard, on every poster, on every talk show.
