WWE.com has posted an interview with NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Bayley and Charlotte conducted the night Charlotte and Banks main evented a live event in Philadelphia.
Banks commented on the honor of competing in the main event, saying:
“It’s humbling, but at the same time, who would ever guess? Who would ever guess when I was 10 years old that I’d be main-eventing an event as big as this?”
Her opponent, Charlotte, also shared her thoughts on why women in NXT work so well together:
“You know the phrase, ‘Be the hardest worker in the room’? That’s hard with the NXT women’s division, because I can honestly say every girl is the hardest worker in the room. This sounds corny, but if you think of destiny, we’re 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, it’s perfect timing. I don’t know, I get goosebumps just thinking about it.”
Bayley told WWE.com exactly why the Divas of NXT are working so hard, saying:
“I want people to buy tickets to see us. People want to see John Cena, they want to see all these guys, but I want people to buy tickets because they want to see the girls and they’re looking forward to the Divas matches. There are two women’s matches at TakeOver for a reason. It’s not just like, “give it to them,” and it’s a short time. It’s a two-hour pay-per-view. It’s hard enough to just get one match on any wrestling show for women. Two? That’s freakin’ awesome, and we’re all involved in it and we’re all so supportive of each other. It’s freakin’ cool.”
Triple H has been revealed as a big proponent of changing the way women are seen in WWE. On that note, Bayley commented:
“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 (Triple H) had everyone together, all the Superstars and Divas. He said, ‘We’re gonna show everyone why NXT is so special.’ And he said, ‘We’re gonna show everyone why we’re revolutionizing women’s wrestling.’ And for him to say that in front of everybody in the meeting right before one of the biggest shows we’ve ever had is like, ‘Man, he believes in us.’ Individually, he just shows so much interest in each person. Each woman.”
