The most special moment of the entire trip? My first-ever women’s seminar.
And I’ll be real—I was nervous all week.
I kept thinking, “What am I going to teach them?”
Because there’s so much.
We had so many women reach out, but I capped it at 10. I wanted everyone to get real time in the ring. No standing around. No getting lost.
If you were there, you were working.
A lot of them were just beginning, some with less than a year of training. So I knew right away what mattered most:
The basics.
Because too many places skip that now. They teach moves. Flash. Highlights.
But if you don’t have the foundation?
You won’t last.
I see backflips. Nip-ups. All the flashy stuff. But if you can’t even lock up properly?
Get the hell out of my ring.
This business is built on the basics. On connection. On the details.
So I pushed them.
Hard.
I saw the passion in their eyes, and I gave them everything—footwork, timing, presence, discipline. The little things that make a big difference.
Everything I taught came from my journey.
From Norman Smiley
From Nattie and TJ.
From Tyler Breeze.
From training in Japan with Meiko Satomura.
From learning lucha in Mexico.
From every coach I learned from at the WWE Performance Center.
I took pieces of all of it—and I gave it to them.
Because growth comes from learning everything.
Every style. Every voice. Every experience.
And by the end?
They weren’t the same women who walked in.
They stood taller. Moved different. Carried themselves with purpose.
And I hope they left knowing this:
They are the new generation.
They’re the future.
But nothing will be handed to them.
Only their hard work.
Their passion.
Their discipline.
Their dedication.
That’s what will take them there.
That’s what turns dreams into reality.
