During a recent appearance on Nikkita Lyon’s “The Lyons Den” podcast, Arianna Grace commented on the COVID-19 pandemic derailing her training, signing an official WWE contract after the lockdown was lifted, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the pandemic derailing her training: “COVID ruined everything. We were on lockdown, [in a] state of emergency for two years, which means you can go to the grocery store and the hospital. Technically, if they catch you anywhere else and you’re not going to the grocery store or the hospital, you’re getting a fine. They were coming to our doors, making sure we were home.”
On signing on fully with the company after the lockdown: “The state of emergency was lifted [and] I got in my little, dinky Fiat, and I drove from Canada to Florida, manifested a tryout, got my tryout in three months, and got signed. That’s where I’ve been since.”
Jey Uso says he’s happy Sami Zayn is back for Survivor Series: WarGames, but he knows Bronson Reed is going to be a problem.
While speaking with Peter Rosenberg on the “Cheap Heat” podcast, Jey commented on reuniting with Zayn, Reed allying with Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On reuniting with Zayn: “So happy. This past Friday, it was cool all of us being in the room together. Even back working together behind the scenes. Backstage, being with Roman and Sami, ping ponging off each other. It felt like old times. Sami is one of my favorite guys to work with and one of my favorite workers. If you pay attention to Sami Zayn, the boy has skills. He’s an actor. He can work. He’s good and safe in the ring. I’m very glad he’s on my team right now.”
On Reed allying with Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline: “I think business just picked up with Bronson Reed. I think he’s going to be a problem at WarGames. I’m not trying to get in the ring with that dude. I’ve been in the ring a couple times with him. He’s an Uce too, you know what I’m saying? Damn, if they had to pick a fifth member for their team, they grabbed the first round draft pick for sure.”
