As I look back on that night in Brooklyn, I realize how monumental it was for women’s wrestling. The fans played an integral role in creating the magic of that match. Their cheers, their boos, and the electric atmosphere propelled us forward. Before we even locked up, you could feel the anticipation in the air; everyone knew we were about to create something special. And create what we did! Bayley and I took risks that night—pushing boundaries that had never been crossed by women in North America before. We didn’t even share half of our ideas with our trainers because we were too scared that they’d tell us no. But we believed in what we were doing and knew that we had a chance to make history.
