Oikos presents 15 Seconds of Strength. Here we go. Steve's got a trunk full of groceries and no one to help him. Oh, that's tough, Jim. Looks like a five trip load at least. He grabs the first bag, the second bob. It looks like he's trying to do it all in one trip. He shimmies the door open, steps over the dog.
DJ Wells
Oh, and he stumbles.
Oikos Advertiser
Oh, right into the kitchen without missing a beat.

DJ Wells

Oikos Advertiser
Now listen, this has nothing to do with nothing, right? But off my conversations, we were just talking about, you know what I'm saying? Restaurant that we all enjoy. And be hin is known for remixing he is a chef. He has a great catering company.

It makes sense now. Okay? It makes sense. Got it, Got it.
Oikos Advertiser
I would love for him to run some of his remixes of these restaurants.
DJ Wells
It's not really a remix. I educate her off the camera.
Podcast Host
Well, he was already remixing drinks over here, so.
DJ Wells
Yeah, no, you got to put the sherbet in the body armor. That's. That's what my workout. Workout, guys, we'll work on that later. That's a little meal prep for you after the gym.
Podcast Host
After the gym, yeah.
DJ Wells
Gluten free. I got a question for you. Spaghetti, right?
Oikos Advertiser
Yeah. Great question.
Podcast Host
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Let's start here.
Podcast Host
You feel me starting off slow?
DJ Wells
Yes. You know what I mean? My favorite spaghetti, is it made together in one pot, or do you have the noodles and the meat and sauce separate?
Podcast Host
It's separated, and then you mix it together.
DJ Wells
Yeah, but how do you serve it to eat? Is. It is already put together?
Podcast Host
It's put together.
DJ Wells
There we go. Thank you, Jade.
Oikos Advertiser
That's not real.
DJ Wells
Thank you, Jay. Yes, it is. That's a thing. Absolutely. No.
Oikos Advertiser
Yes.
DJ Wells
Thank you so much.
Podcast Host
You don't have it separated?
Oikos Advertiser
No, no, no, no. She's saying. No, we talking about. Are they in the same pot?
Podcast Host
Yes, yes.
DJ Wells
Yeah, yeah.
Podcast Host
I cook it separate, but then I put it together and I put it exactly.
Oikos Advertiser
And then we serve. Why?
Podcast Host
Yes, why?
Oikos Advertiser
They ridiculed us.
Podcast Host
Okay. Okay, how about this? Sugar or salt and pepper?
Oikos Advertiser
Well, on the spaghetti.
Podcast Host
Yes.
Oikos Advertiser
Sugar. A little bit of sugar. Sugar me down.
Podcast Host
Let's see what kind of chef he is. Because.
DJ Wells
No, on some. On some real.
Oikos Advertiser
Don't say a lot. You ain't here to heal you.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I'm not here to heal you. I'm here to kill you. But sugar is childish because if your. If your sauce is flavored correctly, then you don't have to worry about any enhancements on top. That's like when you go to a steakhouse. That's. That's why they don't have A one. Because don't disrespect my restaurant putting this. You know what I mean?
Oikos Advertiser
Sauce on top of my shout out to A1 sauce.
DJ Wells
So it's different. So when you add something onto it.
Oikos Advertiser
A1 me down.
Podcast Host
They hate when you add a1.
DJ Wells
They hate when you ask. But I mean, if you put sugar on your. You know what I mean? Respect whatever you put sugar on. That's on love who you love.
Podcast Host
But I put sugar on it when it's not good.
DJ Wells
See, What I'm saying, that's when you have to remember mama like that.
Oikos Advertiser

We got some of the Superstars here and one of my favorite Superstars, so let you do it last. Come on, man, you know what time it is. It's only right. SummerSlam, it's grown two nights back to back. We here shout out to Chan for getting us here. The one and only Ms. J Cargill. Appreciate you sliding on us.

Podcast Host
Who want to see it?
Oikos Advertiser
Oh, you want to run?
Podcast Host
Listen, I got a good little step back jumper, okay?
Oikos Advertiser
They said you was a rebounder.
Podcast Host
So listen, my senior year. I was. I was my senior year.
DJ Wells
Damn. That's the end.
Podcast Host
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Listen. No, no, no, no, no. And let me explain. Who did you play basketball?
Oikos Advertiser
Oh, my mama.
DJ Wells
I hooked.
Oikos Advertiser
Oh, damn. Hooped.
Podcast Host
So listen.
Oikos Advertiser
No, it's a real stress four.
DJ Wells
Fuck you mean?
Podcast Host
Listen, we did four out. We played four out.
Oikos Advertiser
Okay?
Podcast Host
We played four out.
DJ Wells
And you was going in.
Podcast Host
No, at times. At times. But I played out because I got a quick first step. So if you come out, I'm taking you to the rim. And if you don't, I'm shooting.
Oikos Advertiser
Okay.
Podcast Host
And taking that jumper. That's what I do. But at the same time, I have ups. So if that classifies me as a rebounder. Did I guess I'm a reader, Ash.
DJ Wells
Well, yes, I do all bounce. You a little older. Yeah, I ain't heard that either.
Oikos Advertiser
I got ups.
Podcast Host
I got ups. I think I'm the youngest person sitting over here.
Oikos Advertiser
You are.
DJ Wells
You grew up with your grandma.
Podcast Host
So?
Oikos Advertiser
So I got ups.
Podcast Host
You can go find a corner or wherever you need to Go. No, I have ups. I have hops. Yes.
DJ Wells
Did you stop playing, like, after your senior year?
Podcast Host
Uh, no. I went overseas for two years to Le Havre in France. So I did that. But women especially. When I graduated in 2014, we didn't make anything. Like, we didn't. We barely made anything. And so especially being overseas, I didn't make anything. So I was like, okay, I'm gonna come back. And I got my master's in child psychology, and I did that.
DJ Wells
That's dope.
Podcast Host
I made way more money, so, yeah, that's dope.
Oikos Advertiser
That's dope.
Podcast Host
That's why I can read you. I already know what you about. I already know what you about.
DJ Wells
Okay.
Podcast Host
Childish.
DJ Wells
Here.
Podcast Host
Go cr.
DJ Wells
Not that.
Podcast Host
Not that kind.
Oikos Advertiser
Call me now I look.
DJ Wells
Learn about my future when I'm a die.
Podcast Host
Childish child.
DJ Wells
When I'm a die.
Oikos Advertiser
Something wrong with him, let me know.
Podcast Host
I already know what you about. I already know.
Oikos Advertiser
Listen, we joking. Obviously had a crazy high school career. Played basketball, Jacksonville. Well, what. I mean, I don't want to skip too far forward, but obviously being an athlete now, being a professional athlete, what's that difference? Like, going from playing basketball to, like, being the ultimate athlete?
Podcast Host
You know what? I was real cocky basketball player, and I. Can I. This is PG13. Yeah.
DJ Wells
It's running off.
Podcast Host
Like, I talk my shit. So I'm the type of person where, like, I get in people's head. I was very just like, what the fuck you going to do? Da, da, da, da, da, da, da. So it helps me out with my character, because my character is real cocky. I just talked my smack like it is what it is. What you gonna do about it? That's where it helps me out. And I like to compete. You say that you can do this. Let me show you. I'm better. That's the type of person I am. So it just helps me out, fool around. And being a child psychologist. So I know you childish, but, yeah, respect. And I'm a natural born athlete. So whoever wanna come see it, I got it. Not with these nails, but. I don't know. We talk about a bag, we could probably run something.
Oikos Advertiser
Okay.
Podcast Host
Y' all got it?
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Oikos Advertiser
I want no smoke. All right, well, tap in.
DJ Wells
I run the ones. I'm something.
Podcast Host
Where were you?
DJ Wells
We could play one on one. Oh, one through five.
Podcast Host
Yeah, I figured.
DJ Wells
Yeah, it was.
Oikos Advertiser
I was all five out by yogurts.
Podcast Host
Got it.
DJ Wells
So you. So what position did you play? Because T said you're a rebounder.
Podcast Host
Yeah, he was trying.
DJ Wells
So I'm now Okay, there we go.
Podcast Host
Combo guard. And then my senior year, we started playing four out. We had a whole different coach, and we played four out because we were smaller my senior year.
DJ Wells
Okay.
Oikos Advertiser
What made you go to Jacksonville, though?
Podcast Host
My grandmother was sick and I needed to be closer to home because I actually was going to go to Georgia State. And then when my grandmother got sick, I wanted to be closer to home.
Oikos Advertiser
I respect that.
Podcast Host
And actually got out of my scholarship, which was crazy because at the time, that's when, like, you couldn't. Is basketball is so weird to me now because you could just transfer to a different school each year and I would have had to sit out an entire year. So for some, I got out of it. And then everything just started getting so different. Like, conferences are different. I don't even watch basketball.
Oikos Advertiser
Like, I used to pay.
Podcast Host
Oh, my gosh. My fine ass could have got paid. That makes me sound kind of crazy.
Oikos Advertiser
Yeah.
DJ Wells
21, 13 and 6 is nuts.
Oikos Advertiser
That's.
DJ Wells
That's cool.
Podcast Host
Are you googling it?
DJ Wells
Nah, I'm just saying, I just. My boy just told me that you average 21 13.
Podcast Host
She's lying. But I didn't average 21. Not my senior year, not my senior year. Sophomore. My senior year. I was killing for no. So my senior year, I kind of. I was just like, I'll do this for fun, but this isn't. I knew I wasn't going to go pro, so I was just like, I'll just do this for fun and I'll use the money to get my education for my masters. And that's what I did.
DJ Wells
Six deals is crazy, though.
Podcast Host
I'm quick that.
Oikos Advertiser
How long do you have your six deals?
DJ Wells
6.2.
Oikos Advertiser
Wait, who. What school is this?
Podcast Host
Jackson?
Oikos Advertiser
Oh, high school.
Podcast Host
No. Well, in high school, I was talking to three different schools. I sat out my junior year. It's a long. I had to go to court, so I had to. I went to two different. Two different schools. But I don't know if you heard of Florida Air Academy.
Oikos Advertiser
Nah, that's a. This is high school.
Podcast Host
Img.
Oikos Advertiser
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Podcast Host
This is a. So this is high school.
Oikos Advertiser
Okay.
DJ Wells
Okay.
Podcast Host
So we were sponsor. Florida Air Academy was sponsored by Jordan. Like, we were. Oh, yeah, it was lit shit, like, so good. My whole AAU team transferred to the school. I got flagged. I had to go to court and I had to set out my junior year.
Oikos Advertiser
Okay.
Podcast Host
So that killed a lot of momentum for me as well, because I was raped and I sat out. I got.
Oikos Advertiser
Oh, she was nice. For real?
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Podcast Host
Yes. I was talking about a. I let all. Listen, we won state, we won district. I was good, but. So I got cleared. I was cleared to play two games. I scored 22 points in my first game, and that's when they pulled me back, and I had to go back to court, and I. It was overturned, and I couldn't believe it.
DJ Wells
That's a hell of a journey.
Oikos Advertiser
Yeah.
Podcast Host
It's BS because now kids can go and make and do and whatever.
Oikos Advertiser
Yeah.
Podcast Host
So. But I think Trump just put a lid on that.
Oikos Advertiser
Yeah. He tried to hate a little bit. He gonna try to block it a little bit so people can't get that much money in nil.
DJ Wells
Oh, okay.
Oikos Advertiser
That's the.
DJ Wells
I ain't mad at that, though.
Oikos Advertiser
But as a high school coach, that's interesting to hear. Yeah. I mean, Never mind. I'm just.
Podcast Host
You can say what you gotta say.
Oikos Advertiser
No, I can't. Statue of limitations. Yeah.
Podcast Host
All right, all right, all right, all right.
DJ Wells
So how'd you get into wrestling?
Podcast Host
Mark Henry had found me the hall of fame. Henry.
Oikos Advertiser
Shout out to Mark Henry.
Podcast Host
I love him to death. That's like, my wrestling dad.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Podcast Host
He was like, you know, we had a mutual friend. He was like, you ever thought about wrestling? I laughed out loud because I was like, wrestling? Like, who wrestles? Like, I haven't watched wrestling since I was, like, 12, because I used to love it. And so I went to a tryout, did amazing, end up going to another company, and I had my debut match with Cody Rose, who is our champion, and Shaquille o' Neal was my partner. And it was more like no one gets those type of matches other than, like, if you're legacy or something like that. But it's fun. It's nothing like it. And the fact that if you play basketball, you know how it is to entertain someone, and, you know, the feeling of being in the spotlight and just taking it all in, soaking it all in, it's just one and the same. For me. It was easy.
DJ Wells
Gotcha.
Oikos Advertiser
Damn. Were you always, like, physically built like this, or you had to start?
Podcast Host
No, I have great genetics, but I work hard. I really do work hard because working out is, like, my job.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Podcast Host
So I've always been genetically gifted.
Oikos Advertiser
She's worse than me.
DJ Wells
She's definitely worse than he. Be popping this all the time.
Oikos Advertiser
That's why I with you. She worse than me.
DJ Wells
We embraced that on this show.
Oikos Advertiser
Yeah, most definitely. Now, you talk about growing up watching wrestlers. Who are some of your favorite wrestlers or somebody that you rocked with early on?
Podcast Host
China.
Oikos Advertiser
Okay.
Podcast Host
China Jazz. Growing up, like, I'm from the hood, I didn't see a lot of women that look, like, super built and look like that. And I was picked on growing up because I was so muscular. Like, they'll say, oh, she's a man. She's. But I seen this, these two women, actually, Jacqueline as well, and I was like, damn. Like, they look great. And the fact they have so much confidence, they walking out there, they don't give a damn who you are, what you about. They gonna show you what they're about. I was just like, yeah, I like that. I have to embody that. So those are the three women that I looked up to. And I was like, I want that.
Oikos Advertiser
Sure. For sure.
DJ Wells
I remember trying to.
Oikos Advertiser
I'm a wrestling fan, so I watch wrestling these dudes.
Podcast Host
Is he lying?
Oikos Advertiser
Nah, he's really.
Podcast Host
Gonna say that. Okay.
Oikos Advertiser
Don't believe that.
Podcast Host
You have pictures. You have pictures.
Oikos Advertiser
I ain't never been. I ain't never been. Like, face paint crazy, bro. Face pain, crazy.
Podcast Host
Some people do that. Are you guys coming to the show?
DJ Wells
Oh, for sure.
Oikos Advertiser
Most definitely.
Podcast Host
You'll see.
Oikos Advertiser
We seen you at WrestleMania. Yeah, I was at WrestleMania. We seen you come down there.
Podcast Host
Our fans are amazing. They're crazy.
DJ Wells
I'm a fan now.
Oikos Advertiser
Speaking of WrestleMania, I wanted to ask you, what was that like? You know, being in WrestleMania? Your first WrestleMania.
Podcast Host
That's my second.
Oikos Advertiser
Oh, second. My fault. Disrespect.
DJ Wells
Well, she knows. She. She.
Oikos Advertiser
I'm 2 and O2 and. Oh, my fault.
Podcast Host
It was great. The crowd is electric. For me, the bigger the crowd, the more I can embody my character. It's actually the smaller the crowd where I'm like, damn, am I doing this right? Is this right? Like, I start second guessing, but the bigger the crowd, the more I come alive. It's a whole nother world where you're in the ring. This one ring with thousands and thousands of people. I love it.
Oikos Advertiser
Is it overwhelming at all? I mean, obviously you're probably getting used to it now with you being a star, but, like, is it ever get overwhelming where you just walk out like WrestleMania said? Yeah. That many people in there are just all looking at you and your theme music. And then you gotta, like, balance between, like, the crowd, the music, and then going to actual wrestle.
Podcast Host
It can be. It can be. But I'm at a point where it's kind of like you're gonna get what you get. Like, by the time my music hits or I'm walking out if I don't got it. It's like you're done. Like you're done. So you just have to have that mindset like you gonna get what you get. What's more overwhelming is the travel and like we're probably home one to two days a week. When I was a tag team champ, I worked raw, smackdown, and nxt. So I only literally I traveled Thursdays, worked Fridays, came home Saturdays left Sundays, worked Monday, came home Tuesday was off, Wednesday left Thursday and that was my schedule.
Oikos Advertiser

Oikos Advertiser
Oikos presents 15 Seconds of Strength.
DJ Wells
Here we go.
Oikos Advertiser
Steve's got a trunk full of groceries and no one to help him. Oh, that's tough. Jim. Looks like a five trip load at least. He grabs the first bag, the second bob. It looks like he's trying to do it all. One trip. He shimmies the door open, steps over the dog.
DJ Wells
Oh, and he stumbles.
Oikos Advertiser
Oh, right into the kitchen without missing a beat. Jim. Now that's a man who eats his protein packed Oikos. With 15 grams of complete protein in each cup. Oikos Triple Zero can help build strength for every day. Oikos Stronger makes everything better.
Lenovo Advertiser
Gatorade zero, the number one proven electrolyte.
Podcast Host
Blend made with zero sugar, designed to.
Lenovo Advertiser
Hydrate better than water so you can.
Podcast Host
Lose more sweat and push more limits. Gatorade zero. Is it in you? That's. And we have no off season. Every other sport has an off season. This is year round and we go overseas, come back half the wrestle and all kind of time zones and it doesn't matter. Like you have to perform. So that part is the taxing part. I wouldn't say the overwhelming part is going out there. I think that's the part was like you look around, you're like, this is why I do this.
Oikos Advertiser
You got to truly love it because that was crazy.
DJ Wells
Two days a week.
Oikos Advertiser
And then you got your personal life, you know, saying balance of family and everything else you got going on.
DJ Wells
Start off on a match day.
Podcast Host
What? I get up, I stretch, I meditate. Because.
DJ Wells
Me too, you have to meditate.
Podcast Host
As you get older, you'll understand, like your peace and silence means so much. So I meditate. Like I said, I stretch. I do some abs, I lift a little, go to the ring, hit the ropes a little bit, pray, get my makeup done, get fine, and I'm ready to go.
DJ Wells
Damn.
Podcast Host
That's it.
Oikos Advertiser
Like, how often do you live?
Podcast Host
Five days a week.
DJ Wells
You didn't listen.
Podcast Host
And I have to find those to like that time to lift weight.
Oikos Advertiser
That's what I was trying to like.
Podcast Host
Traveling, it's a lot, but you do it tired.
DJ Wells
Damn. You got a hobby?
Podcast Host
That's my hobby. That's my hobby. I do have a hobby and it's. It's very morbid. Don't judge me.
DJ Wells
No, no judgment.
Podcast Host
I love historical cemeteries.
Oikos Advertiser
We are. That silence was judgment.
Podcast Host
I know. That was very his face. How do you.
Oikos Advertiser
Why are you judging her?
Podcast Host
Clean hands.
Oikos Advertiser
You know what I was about to say? I'm like, oh, you went to the one in dc, The Historical Black Museum. She said cemetery, I think. Are you like. Are you in a Halloween?
Podcast Host
I love Halloween. It's my favorite Halloween. I love it.
DJ Wells
You gotta explain this. This hobby, though, it's.
Podcast Host
Don't knock it until you try it. You probably never. You probably won't try it.
DJ Wells
I walk around. It's Crown Hill Cemetery.
Podcast Host

DJ Wells
This is for my homies in the Cadillac.
Podcast Host
It's not like that. It's.
Oikos Advertiser
Okay, can you please explain to me what it is?
Podcast Host
Okay, so you have to start at a nice cemetery, okay, which is like, the one in Paris is the most famous cemetery in the world. It has Jim Morris. It has. It has so many. If I name these people, you're not gonna know. They have famous poets, they have famous authors, they have famous. All this kind of stuff. So in France, they're big into art. For example, they have somebody who has a tombstone. Like one of the presidents, he passed away. He passed away with one of his mistress riding him. Right? His wife, to get revenge. Literally has his body, like, laying down. He has a heart on. Like, it's all art. Like, I know it's a bad example, but, like, that's just one. Like, somebody has a camera where you can scan it and it tells. Like, you can scan it with your phone and it tells you about their entire life. Like, it's. I don't know how. Elsa. This really freaking. Like, it's so cool and it's so peaceful. Like, you could be in the city.
Oikos Advertiser
Nothing in there.
Podcast Host
It's so. It's just peaceful. Like, I don't know.
DJ Wells
It's one with the earth.
Podcast Host
Yeah, I guess so. It's very, like, morbid, but it's so beautiful. And like, Jim Morrison's grave is like the most famous grave in the world. And it's like, it's so small. It was an unmarked grave at first. Like, he's a famous singer. He was a part of the. Is it called 26 or 27 Club.
DJ Wells
You know better than me.
Podcast Host
It's like when you pass away, like. Like Jimi Hendrix, like, all these people that died at a certain age. And he was one of the people that's a part of that club, and his grave is, like, the biggest. And people go up and kiss it. And like somebody's grave, if you kiss it, you'll, you know, have a baby. It's a whole bunch of stuff. So it's. I don't do that stuff. But I.
DJ Wells
You ain't got. You haven't got there yet. You still young.
Podcast Host
No, I've only kissed one grave, and that sounds so insane. But it was Jimi Hendrix. I'm a huge Jimi Hendrix fan. But that was it. Sorry. Don't judge.

Podcast Host
He already judged me.
Oikos Advertiser
I was serious because I don't know.
DJ Wells
I don't know about wrestling. I like knowing, like, the type of people y' all are. You should look.
Oikos Advertiser
He was joking at first, but Crown Hill is like a, like, hometown Indianapolis. It's like a really big series.
Podcast Host
Is it night? Like, who's in there?
Oikos Advertiser
Oh, there's some President James Wilcomb.
Podcast Host
Is he done? Huh? You don't live in Atlanta. Nah. Yeah, that's what he's in Indianapolis.
DJ Wells
No, he got two of them.
Podcast Host
I'm talking to you guys now. I don't know what's his problem? He's having a ball.
Oikos Advertiser
Listen, what's our favorite part of the show? Moments With Child. Moments With Child, please. Okay, we get to ask you this question. Obviously, superstar status. When you first made through that first threshold you broke through for wrestling, what did you spend some money on? What'd you go crazy with? Not nothing responsible. Not take care of the family. Not, you know what I'm saying? Going to buy a house. What'd you. You know what I'm saying? Big purchase. Went crazy with.
Podcast Host
I've always had money.
Oikos Advertiser
Oh, talk about it.
Podcast Host
So.
DJ Wells
J, now she. What you doing with the first goddamn documentary?
Podcast Host
No, I don't do broke.
Oikos Advertiser
She don't want cemeteries.
Podcast Host
On some real. On some real stuff. All my checks go to my daughter. Like, it really goes to my daughter and her tuition and everything like that. I rarely spent anything that I get from this company.
Oikos Advertiser
Dang.
DJ Wells
That's what I live.
Oikos Advertiser
Yeah. I gotta figure out my life.
DJ Wells
You got an ELO deal. I See, you got the elos on.
Podcast Host
No, but I need y' all to.
DJ Wells
Y' all see Tap in.
Podcast Host
Love it, Love it. It looks good on me, right?
DJ Wells
I like the hellos. Yeah, for sure. Good brand.
Oikos Advertiser
Listen, Tap in, it's reasonable, too. They sell men clothing.
DJ Wells
They do.
Oikos Advertiser
They do pretty good.
Podcast Host
Yeah. That's where like, a bra and some shorts.
DJ Wells
No, Joe, the T shirt. The T shirt is some shorts.
Podcast Host
That's what I said.
Oikos Advertiser
That's what you want to wear? That's okay.
Podcast Host
That's that old man talk.
DJ Wells
The two piece.
Oikos Advertiser
With the lemon pepper with nothing under. We don't even know that.
Podcast Host
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. He went left again.
Oikos Advertiser
Always.
Podcast Host
We can't even get to the question. Did you just.
DJ Wells
No, you had that. You had a stunt on us. So. About your child moment. I always had money. Damn.
Oikos Advertiser
My child moment. My whole life. I love it.
Podcast Host
Hey.
Oikos Advertiser
Now, I want to ask you a wrestling question because we are here for SummerSlam.
Podcast Host
Yes.
Oikos Advertiser
But, like, what was that moment, like, when you entered the wwe and like, we all. I knew you from the other company, and you coming in, you had a big name coming from the other company. When you finally got here, what was that like? Did they. Everybody embrace you? Was it love or was it a little hate? What was it like from the other women in the locker room?
Podcast Host
It was love. They wanted to work with me. They know that. They knew that I came here to get better, and they knew that I came here to be a legend. Like there's nothing else. There's no other place I'm going. I'm become a legend. And they want to help as much as they can because they want to do nothing but elevate the locker room.
Oikos Advertiser
Facts. Facts. What?
Podcast Host
No, I'm just. I'm.
DJ Wells
Man, you get your story. I love the origin story.
Podcast Host
But as far as the fans, it was great. I was scared. I was nervous when I came out for the Royal Rumble because I didn't know what kind of reaction I would get if they were like, oh, we tired of this girl. Like, gosh, it's been so long. Or if they. I just didn't know what type of reaction. Because fans can love you one day and they can hate you one day. Then they can love you one day and they can hate you one day. So I just. I was like, okay, well, whatever I get, I'll just roll with it. I come out, they boo me. That's what I'll be for sure.
Oikos Advertiser
We as. I Royal Rumble, too. But I want to ask, how do you balance that because you have such a. Like you said, WWE has such a crazy fan base and you individually have a fan base and sometimes those collide, sometimes they ain't on the same page. Does that affect you mentally wise? Because obviously you're doing something that's in front of everybody and you probably hear some of these opinions even when you don't want to.
Podcast Host
It can get to you sometimes. But I listen to people who have done what I've done and who wish me well so everybody else can kiss my ass because they've never lived in my shoes a day in my life. Like, they can probably can't even do a push up. And so I could care less about how they feel.
Oikos Advertiser
Yeah, go ahead.
Podcast Host
Because if you let people creep into your mind, it gets bigger. It's bigger. And you have. You're one person. You're one person and you. You have to respect and love yourself and be gentle with yourself. You know, it all comes like. I feel like God would never give you anything you couldn't bear.
Oikos Advertiser
Most definitely. This is like a full circle moment for us. Cuz I know t was early on trying to get you on the show for us to have this moment right here.
DJ Wells
Now, that's big. What's one of your most memorable matches.
Oikos Advertiser
Though, or favorite moments?
Podcast Host
I don't know. You know, when I have questions that are asked like that we have so many ples which are pay per views, like back to back to back. Like we go to Paris in two weeks. Even at wrestlemania or when I won the tag titles or even right now, I don't have time to really sit in it because it's like off to the next, off to the next. And you're like focused before you know it's here in your face and you're like, damn, like SummerSlam is Saturday. Whoa.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Podcast Host
I don't have one yet.
Oikos Advertiser
Elimination chamber for me.
Podcast Host
I. Okay. I would say that because I was coming back from an injury and I didn't know what I was coming back. And so it took a lot because me being an athlete, I've never been injured in my life. And so I've had like a bone bruise and I still play through that or like, you know, you play hurt, whatever, whatever. But this was something that I had to sit out and that was the first time. And that can mess with you mentally. And that's when fans, when they came, I was like, because there's nothing I can do. I can't go out there, show you. I have to just take it, take it, take It. And I couldn't say anything. So it's just like. That was taxing. But elimination chamber, I would say, because I had a lot to prove right then and there. And I was excited to be back. And it was kind of out of the blue. I wasn't even in shape yet. But I guess that the crowd reaction.
Oikos Advertiser
For that in our storyline, y' all storyline was fire.
Podcast Host
Thank you.
Oikos Advertiser
So if y' all ain't know the storyline, I can tell y' all talk to us. Tape. She had a real injury. Like, she just said.
DJ Wells
What's your tears?
Podcast Host
I didn't tear anything. It was more of a neck injury that could have been, like, led to surgery, but I didn't need it. Well, I didn't need it. Eventually I will. Like all wrestlers do.
Oikos Advertiser
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Yeah, for sure.
Oikos Advertiser
Damn. But she was tagging with Bianca Belair, who I was telling you about, and basically the storyline was that Naomi was hating.
Podcast Host
Crazy girl. Naomi.
Oikos Advertiser
Yeah. Insane shout out to Naomi. Crazy girl.
DJ Wells
Which one was it?
Oikos Advertiser
Proceed with caution, though. Proceed.
Podcast Host
You just had to get that in there, didn't he? I ain't hear my catchphrase yet.
Oikos Advertiser
I mean, storm is coming.
Podcast Host
Okay. There we go.
Oikos Advertiser

Podcast Host
Okay.
Oikos Advertiser
Questionable word. I know everything. Like, I'm really tapping. I'm really.
DJ Wells

Podcast Host

Oikos Advertiser
Yeah. Because I think the women's division is like, the best division right now. They showed up. They put out the best matches. Yeah. So I'm looking forward to seeing who.
DJ Wells

Oikos Advertiser

Podcast Host
Let me tell you. And to be honest, I feel like she tones it down.
DJ Wells
For real.
Podcast Host
I feel like she does. Because when she was at Startup in Japan.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Podcast Host
If you see her old stuff, it's insane. Insane. And she does not even half of her move set.
DJ Wells
She's a hell of an athlete.
Podcast Host
Oh, my gosh, she's amazing. I can't wait to have a match.
DJ Wells
That was my first match.
