Tokyo Dome Panic Attack
One of the lines Advocate Kev says to Team-Moné on our various trips is: ‘We’re gonna make history…AGAIN!’ Though I have nerves and butterflies for all my big matches, my match at the Tokyo Dome against Mina was somehow different. From the moment I landed in Japan, where I actually bawled my eyes out with […]
Wrestle Dynasty’s Women’s Four-Way Match
Momo, Persephone, Athena, and Willow all tore it up. It was hard to watch the whole match as I was busy applying makeup. I will watch it in its entirety the first chance I get. I’ll say this: when I popped my head up from doing my lashes, here is what I saw. Willow is […]
Thank You
Thank you to New Japan, Japan, the fans who attended and watched, Tony Khan, Mina, and everyone else who helped another one of my dreams come true. Now then, this is wrestling. The work never ends. There are more battles to be fought, and your CEO will be ALL over the globe fighting them. Thanks […]
Winning the Rev Pro Unified Title
When the match was over, I was on my knees, being handed the Rev Pro titles with a look of exhaustion, pride, gratitude, and awe. None of that was acting, I promise. When I left WWE, the goal was to elevate women’s wrestling and create more global opportunities and exposure. Many of the old guy […]
Tears for Japan
On the ride to the airport, I began welling up with tears again, literally. I promise I am not a super emotional person. Coming up the way I did with the responsibilities I had, I really had to check my emotions. I had to stay strong for my mom and for Joshua. The tears leaving […]
Willow & Athena
After my match, Willow and Athena tackled me with what became the most amazing three-way hug. It’s always nice to be celebrated by your peers. Both of them are truly special. I didn’t realize it till later, but it was inspiring to have three black women represent half the female card and the entire female […]
My Very Own Captain Lou Albano
After some noodles, I was back in my room, wide awake. Kev texted me in the middle of the night, wide awake himself. Neither of us could sleep as we were still processing it all. Advocate Kev admitted later to wanting to throw up when we first entered the dome. It’s all nerve-wracking for him, […]
Mina Now
Mina came at me with full force, and let me tell you, I’m still feeling the impact days later. But I have to admit, there’s something I love about pro wrestling when it’s done right—like how Mina executed everything flawlessly, managing to keep it safe even when it stings. And let me tell you why […]
Kalisto in Japan
Post-match, I was dehydrated and cramped a bit. I was also coming down from the whole ordeal. Normally, Team one tradition is to celebrate title wins, popping bottles and partying the night away. (I hope other title winners rightfully do the same!) However, this time it was just a team dinner and a surprise guest […]
Caitlyn Clark & Angel Reese & Women’s Softball
Speaking of budding CEOs raising awareness and forging new paths for women in sports, shout out to Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese, who helped bring women’s basketball to the next level this year. I want to think The 4 Horsewomen helped do the same for wrestling a few years ago, but it was great to […]
