Former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion Zoey Stark took to the media frenzy this week preparing for WrestleMania weekend and for her in particular NXT’s Stand & Deliver. At Stand & Deliver, Stark will be just one woman out of six that will compete for the NXT Women’s Championship in a ladder match.
While speaking with Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Stark talked about her preparation for the ladder match both physically and emotionally.
“I’m really excited. Like you said, the talent in that ring is absolutely insane. The prep for me is: I’m just watching a little bit of film, but I don’t feel like you can ever really get prepared for a ladder match, because anything and everything could happen in a ladder match. You can’t trust those ladders.”
She continues, “They don’t know how to work! Yeah, so I’m really excited for this. It’s going to be a great match. We’re going to have a blast. We’re going to have a hell of a run in that ring.”
Stark spoke in a separate interview with Denise Salcedo she spoke about the current NXT women’s roster. Salcedo mentioned that Stark brings out the best in the talent and wants to know her thought process on a newer talent she gets in the ring with.
“I just want to make sure they look good. You know? Get them off to a great start. Like Sol Ruca. What a phenomenal athlete. She does some great things. My goal in that was let’s have the best match we could possibly have, and she delivered. She did a great job in letting me take charge a little bit and just following. She is awesome to work with.”
She continues, “I think she has a big career. I do. I think she’s going to do very very well.”
Stark defeated Ruca in order to qualify for this weekend’s ladder match. She joins – NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez, Gigi Dolin, Tiffany Stratton, Lyra Valkyria, and Indi Hartwell in this match.
