During a recent appearance on the Developmentally Speaking podcast, former WWE developmental talent Anya Zova reflected on her time in WWE.

Zova revealed that The Wyatt Family, comprising Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, and Erick Rowan, had wanted her to be part of the group.

Zova signed a developmental deal with WWE in August 2012 and was fired a year later after suffering a broken arm during training.

In 2017, the Russian athlete sued WWE on grounds of the company’s failure to train its talent properly. The lawsuit was later dismissed. Zova said,

“I mean, I was obviously always like a heel. A badass. A few wrestlers pitched me to work with them to be a valet. Brodus Clay [now Tyrus in the NWA] loved me. He wanted me to be one. But I’m like, ‘You already have two girls, you don’t need another girl.’ … We still tried it at a few local shows in Florida, which I appreciate. So he tried to help me because that’s how it happens, one big wrestler wants to bring you up and sees potential in you.”

“And once I got released, I was talking to somebody from The Wyatt Family. So apparently, what they had in mind is they wanted me to do The Wyatt Family and make me white trash, which would be fun. I would love that. When I heard it — I’m trying to remember, was it Wyatt? I think it was Wyatt who told me that, he’s like, ‘Yeah. We wanted you to be part of it.’ That was their goal. I’m like, ‘Well, that would be fun.’ But it probably wasn’t meant to be.”
