Trinity [Fatu] made her Impact Wrestling debut at this past Saturday night’s TV tapings, and she had several notable names in attendance to show their support.
Speaking to TMZ Sports, the former Naomi revealed that current WWE Superstar Tamina Snuka, as well as Mercedes Mone, CM Punk, and Kalisto all came to the show to support her.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On having friends there to support her at the taping: “It was everything. It gave me that extra boost that I needed to really follow through and do it because I was so scared. At one point, I was literally thinking, ‘How am I going to do this?’ Mercedes being there — she was there with me the entire weekend, just helping me, helping me pick out my outfits, talking to me, talking to me through things, buying glow sticks; she was just so incredible. To have her there, I felt like everyone came to support me. I gotta show up. I gotta deliver, I gotta kick out, I gotta do this. I can do this. They really made me believe that I’m going to be okay and that I’m going to do well.”
On some of the other names who were there for her: “Right before my match, Tamina comes walking in, and I turned around and just started crying because it’s so incredible for everyone to stop what they’re doing in their lives to come all the way here because they believe in me that much. It made me believe in myself a little bit more. Then, too, CM Punk shows up and he comes in, and it was really cool to see him. He gives me a big hug and just knew that he was there, and got to see me, it was all so surreal. Then, Manny [Kalisto] was there and helping me with ideas. So much love and support. It was unbelievable. It was so surreal, and I’ll never forget it. It was really all I needed to go out there and turn on.”
