"How did you kind of get into wrestling? How did that even start as a dream? Yeah, honestly Like how everybody does and I was younger my brother He played the games and like I would be the annoying little sister like taking his controller trying to play and then of course We'd be watching him when we shouldn't have been a sneaking into watching like whatever wrestling was on TV so it definitely started like that and then of course we do the Wrestling and breaking furniture and all that You are it paid off mom it did pay off and now you faced one of your childhood idols Mercedes Monet tell us how your brother inspired you Like I said, he he just Of course, he got me started in it And one of the things I regret is that I never got to tell him like I'm doing this because of you and I'm Sure, he knew, you know, he wasn't gonna be like, you know, I know but like I know he knew But just I've never had that bike. I've never had that like kind of grief on my heart I did lose my mom at a young age as well. I was three though. So I've spent 23 of the last years with my brother. So it definitely when that happened It definitely was something to where I like I came like came to a W I was like, I just need to get my mind off of it. I didn't want to be at home I wanted to like have a distraction. I couldn't I couldn't just sit and be in there In that mindset of like he's gone. So like I came to work and I came like ready to wrestle I just wanted to wrestle and of course I got put in the tournament and then had one of the best months of my career It just put me in a whole different level, which is why I do cool things like this But like yeah, but um, yeah, I just now it's like everything I do now for the rest of my life Honestly my career I'll do it in his name in his honor because he never got to like just do anything like this And so I just doing it for him now, and honestly for me It's like I had that starting out where like I was a fan too Like I was one of those people on Twitter like back in like 2015 when I should have been I was young But like I was one of those and it's like just where I am now And I've had people who like I known from that era who were like wow We see you you were here with us and now you're doing the thing and now you're like at that at that like stage But I mean it's all it's always it's something new. Of course. I'm it's new to me So it's I'm having to get used to that and having getting people like asking for pictures and stuff It's like wow, this is my life now believe it honestly Yeah, and like I call myself a girl like I do have this confident But it's still like super cool like to get that to again do things like this Well, listen, I know we're out of time Maya But if there's a little girl watching right now who maybe is going through some grief, you know life is hard sometimes What would you say to her watching? Um just to keep going for me It took a lot of like whenever I got you know by myself It's like, you know, you're you're back in this and you're thinking about everything But just go out there just just stay the course keep pushing because it's gonna get better Eventually, you know, it's just it's in you and you are stronger than than you think which is something I had to keep telling myself Yeah, which is how I pushed to where I am now"
