During a recent interview with the “Planeta Wrestling” podcast, WWE NXT UK Women’s Champion Toni Storm commented on WWE NXT helping to elevate indie wrestling, wanting to face Becky Lynch and more. You can check out some highlights and a video from the interview below:
On her advice to women wrestlers: “Don’t let anything stand in your way. Don’t take any crap from anybody and don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t. Don’t let anyone get in your way, no matter what you do, because they are going to try to stand in your way, and people are going to try and take your happiness, and take what you want away from you, and, don’t ever let that happen, and just keep pushing, keep going! Do whatever you want in life.”
On wanting to face Becky Lynch: “I really want to be in there with Becky. She’s someone that’s inspired me so much, especially in recent times, ya know, she’s the man. I just love her strength, and I love her fire, and she’s a strong woman, and that inspires me. That’s why I keep doing this.”
On NXT helping the indies: “Independent wrestling is at the best it’s ever been and then what WWE has done, they just come in, and they just elevated it for us so that we can pursue more. And I’m so thankful for that because it’s just making it more mainstream, and making it more popular, and that’s what we needed. I think independent wrestling needs more exposure because it’s so incredible and this is going to help it a lot.”
