Bayley is a locker room leader, and an amazing person inside and out. I've watched and learned from her, the way she handles situations and adapts so easily and quickly. She has the ability to make things look so easy.Collection: Amazing

I'm not a morning person. But it doesn't matter if I wake up at seven, eight, or noon, I'm still having breakfast food first thing when I wake up.
The ThunderDome is great. I remember walking in the arena and I actually for a second thought that there were fans out there. I had to remind myself it's not actually live fans but it sounds like it and with the energy that environment brings, it's just amazing.
I really believe Bayley thinks that the only way she can get to me is mentally because she can't stand the test of time with me physically.
I did gymnastics, I wanted to be like Dominique Dawes. But the good think about role models is that you don't just have them when you are kid. My role models from WWE came when I was older. When I was 27, my role models from WWE became Jacqueline and Beth Phoenix.
I've had to learn that food is not my enemy. I work out once or twice a day and I'm lifting super heavy weights. I need fuel to keep going.
I remember I started isolating myself. I stopped going to church and believing in God. People would say to me 'Be happy,' and I was like that's easier said than done.
In high school, I was probably 155 - I wanted to run fast and get a scholarship, so, it was drilled in me that if you lose weight, you'll run faster. So, I went on a diet - I did lose weight, but then I hit a plateau where I couldn't lose any more weight. So, I started throwing my food up, so I became bulimic.
I feel like I have a very strong character, I'm super talented and the possibilities are endless for Bianca Belair. She's somebody who can stand on her own and have a very successful, long career but at the same time I have no problem being paired with my husband in any shape or form because it's a part of who I am.
I'm the female version of my dad. He builds decks, he builds all types of chairs, my dad is really creative and really hands-on and so I really learned that from my dad.
I want my time in WWE to be remembered about how I make people feel. That's what matters most to me.
I've found myself very vulnerable in some of my moments, but that's because I'm opening up to invite people to come on this journey.
The night before a match is always a weird night. I want to get a good night's sleep, but I'm also anxious.
When I get nervous, I think about my dad, who would always tell me, 'When you're nervous, it means you care.' So I embrace it. That reminds me I'm ready.
I think, if we can all get along: Sasha, Naomi, and I will be a great faction. We would mesh really well, we could work really work together.
Definitely my 'why' in WWE is the representation and being a role model for everyone out there. Anyone who looks to me as an inspiration is why I do this.
I always think about the role models I had when I was a little girl. They really made me feel how big I could dream, they made me feel I could do things that I did not think I could do before. And because of them, I went and did what I did and I am where I am now.
For me, I would say always try to figure out what your why is. For me, a lot of it is being a role model, representation, look at the bigger picture.
When I was in NXT, I was going after the NXT Women's Championship and it never happened, I would constantly check in on my perspective.
My character is very multi-faceted, very powerful, she can get in the ring and do an array of things but I like to use my YouTube channel to show other elements of myself that I feel I many not be able to show in the ring.
I'm able to show on YouTube what I'm passionate about, what I love to do and one of those things is sewing my gear.
Bianca Belair, she knows nobody can do it like her, nobody can do it better than her, and that also includes making my gear.
