Here are some highlights:

Who inspired her to get into wrestling:

“It’s got to be John Cena. I just felt I was that in that era, John Cena was such a good guy. I don’t know, I just fell in love with the heroes like Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio. Then I started getting into the independent scene, and I loved Zack Sabre Jr., Pete Dunn, Tyler Bate, so a bit of a mixture. Yeah, that’s great. As I got a bit older because, I think around 12, I got into indie wrestling and I went to my first indie show.

“I remember me and my dad went to our first Wrestlemania and then we came back and people were saying ‘Have you heard of Rev Pro or Progress?’ and we hadn’t. We had never heard of those promotions, so as soon as we got back, I started to watch their stuff and thought it was so cool. And I didn’t realize how much there was out there until we started going to all of these other shows and you know, I mean, like not just WWE and all of the main ones but all the good indies, so yeah, I watched everything I could.”

Her match against Billie Starkz at Pro Wrestling: EVE’s 13th Anniversary:

“I feel like there’ll be quite a few eyes on this match. And I think as we are both very young, very early in our age, it’s a big stage as you don’t really see a lot of people out there our age wrestling each other on a big show. She’s climbing to the top already, so many people want to be in her position, and she’s doing amazing.

“So, like, it’s great that I get to wrestle someone like her as we’re both very similar. It’s going to be a great match, but I’ve also got a bit of an advantage based on where we are, but we’ve kind of been training for the same time and she’s obviously more successful. It’s going to be one match to watch and I can’t wait, I really can’t wait because there’s so much hype about her. I’ve seen her and she’s great and I just can’t wait to get in there and see what I can do.”

Her dream opponents:

“I would love to take on anyone, but on my list would definitely be Pete Dunne. He is great. Millie McKenzie too, I would love to take her on and wanted a match against her for ages. I remember seeing her at PROGRESS, and she was amazing. She was really young at 17 and doing it, and that inspired me, so a match against her would be great.

“And more matches against the women at EVE, so Charlie Morgan, Emersyn Jayne, they just teach me so much and so I’d love to wrestle them again to see how I’ve developed from before. The roster is great, so I’m really excited to fight more and more of them.”
