– WWE’s website has a new interview with Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Bayley and NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks on how they’re changing women’s wrestling. The interview was done before the recent NXT live event in Philadelphia and refers to the women as the ‘The Four Horsewomen’ of NXT. Below are a few highlights:
Charlotte on main eventing with Sasha:
You know the phrase, โBe the hardest worker in the roomโ? Thatโs hard with the NXT womenโs division, because I can honestly say every girl is the hardest worker in the room. This sounds corny, but if you think of destiny, weโre all here together. Triple H hired Sara Del Rey, and then all of us got hired together at the same time. Considering the chemistry and how much we all want this together and work well together, itโs perfect timing. I donโt know, I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
Bayley on Triple H believing in them:
To all four of us, right before we went out. And at the first show in Columbus, Ohio, that was our first NXT show outside Florida, and he had everyone together, all the Superstars and Divas. He said, โWeโre gonna show everyone why NXT is so special.โ And he said, โWeโre gonna show everyone why weโre revolutionizing womenโs wrestling.โ And for him to say that in front of everybody in the meeting right before one of the biggest shows weโve ever had is like, โMan, he believes in us.โ Individually, he just shows so much interest in each person. Each woman.
Becky on Divas headlining pay-per-view:
Same. Nine years ago, I stopped wrestling because this wasnโt a possibility. There were never girls like Bayley or Sasha or Charlotte. Itโs funny, because I was saying this the other day: I walked down the hallway in the Performance Center and there are all the pay-per-view posters all along the walls, right? And on all of them, every single one, thereโs not one single female wrestler. Stephanie McMahon was on one of them, but youโve got Randy Orton, youโve got Sheamus, youโve got Bray Wyatt, youโve got everybody but you donโt have any women. And I know, I know, in five years when I walk down that hall Iโm going to see Bayley; Iโm going to see Sasha; Iโm going to see Charlotte. Hopefully Iโll see myself, too, but I know Iโm going to see them, and itโs not just because theyโre good for girls. Theyโre just good. Just really good, and weโre just changing โ
Sasha on feeling accomplished:
When I was in the indies, the guys would be like, โUgh, a womenโs match. Iโm not gonna watch that.โ And to come back here, at every single Live Event to have a guy come up to you and say, โThat was amazing,โ I feel so accomplished. That was always my goal, to have a guy come up to me and go, โThat was frickinโ good. I have to follow that?โ And Iโm like, โYeah, you do, dude.โ Itโs such a good feeling. And girls just keep doing it, you know?
