“It’s just different, it’s just evolved. We watched stuff in Terry (Taylor)’s class, he’d pull up old clips and stuff, and it’s different yes, but there’s always something you can take from it, and I think sometimes newer people coming in can’t necessarily see it.

“Because now everything is so fast, especially in NXT, everything is go, go, go, so much is happening, but there’s still so much you can take because the devil’s in the details, and a lot of the old stuff has a lot of those details that we might pass over or maybe don’t think about going into a match.

“So I think no matter what kind of style or era, there’s always something you can take from it.”

She said:

“If you’re gonna make that big of a move, you have to make a statement and that’s what we did.

“Jacy and I started training together, what 10 years ago at this point, at the same place. So we’ve known each other our entire careers, so that helps in us being a unit and working together and being cohesive.

“And we brought Lainey in and she’s just a sponge, she’s always learning, she’s always listening and she takes what we say and she uses it, and all together we’re all our different selfs, our individual selfs but we all just work so well together. Clearly, you can see.”
