What are your thoughts on friend-turned-foe Becky Lynch as the new SmackDown Women's champion? Do you think she deserves it?
Yes, I 100 per cent believe she deserves it, but I think she went about with it in the wrong way. We could still be friends with her being the champion.
How does it feel being part of an epic and first-ever women's PPV Evolution?
It has not yet hit me yet. But to think that I am going to be part of an event that has WWE legends like Lita and Trish Stratus and future female wrestlers from NXT, is very humbling. I have the opportunity to show the world that there is only one Queen in WWE. So it is pretty exciting.
What is the force that drives you to perform on such a superlative level all the time?
Firstly, it is my desire to be the best in my generation. Secondly, there is nothing that I love more than performing in the WWE ring. And finally, I have made it my life's mission to continue my little brother's dream.
Which wrestling superstars do you draw inspiration from?
The two people that I believe have helped me the most would have to be AJ Styles and Tyler Breeze. AJ has been a mentor on the main WWE roster, while Tyler helped me through my entire NXT days.
What is the one thing you would like to say to your fans in India?
Remember, if you want to do anything, do it with flair!
