BOAD: And Still TNA Knockouts World Champion, Arianna Grace!
🎧 Listen to the full episode on Busted Open Radio
NXT locker room culture
A lot of the people at the Performance Center are athletes, so they weren't brought up in the business. They don't have the same respect for the business... we're fed up. We're really fed up.
Personal career journey
I genuinely believe that wrestling saved my life. And take that statement how you will. I do think if I didn't find a love for wrestling, things would be very, very different.
TNA Knockouts Championship win
I saw all the hate online, I heard all those doubters' comments, so it felt good to stick it to them and show them that I'm not only beautiful, I'm also strong, talented, and ruthless.
Knockouts division tension
Tessa and her little two really hogged up my TV time, taking their slow entrance. And to be honest, I don't think anyone even cares to see them. They turned on the TV to see me.
Match vs. Jodi Threat
She walked into that match with a red X on her ribs. Like, come on, hello. You literally put a bullseye on your own body. If you're that badly hurt, maybe hide it because you showed me exactly where I needed to hit you to beat you.
NXT training
My coach is Sean Spears, and I would say he is amazing. My in-ring has improved drastically since I've been in his class.
Wrestling lineage
I'm accepting that I was born into this business. And this is my birthright. And this title is my birthright. I'm done denying it.
Christmas Chaos match / Shiloh Hill
I'm still trying to figure out if I can press charges because like if he has some kind of like biohazard issue which I wouldn't doubt because he's gross, I'm wondering if that put me at risk.
Beauty pageant career
I think I got disqualified because you have a specific walking pattern. And I forgot my turn. So I walked, posed, posed, walked off. I forgot my turn and I missed my turn to be Miss Universe Canada, but that's okay because I am TNA Knockouts World Champ.
