BT Sports interviewed both Toni Storm and Drew McIntyre following the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. Toni Storm got emotional, saying,
“It’s so unlike anything. It’s just, I’m so used to being that kid on the indies, ya know? I still feel exactly the same way I did when I first started and I was wrestling in front of 10 people, except it was the Royal Rumble, and I feel really blessed that I’ve been able to experience this. And it was cool being in there with girls that I was on the independent scene with as well, like Tegan Nox. It’s crazy, when I first met Tegan, we were on a show in front of 12 people in Manchester and we had to get changed behind cars in a parking lot, and we looked at each other before we went out and were like, ‘Oh my God, we legit made it, we’re in the Royal Rumble.’ I don’t believe this is happening and I probably never will.”
