Taya talks about her journey from WWE NXT to NXT 2.0
Taya is getting all the success she deserves. Many didn’t know that she has been training and working hard to be at top. The NXT agents are helping her in this journey too. However she finds her transition from WWE NXT to NXT 2.0 is a little confusing. Here is what she says:
“WrestleMania weekend came and Presley (her dog) debuted on NXT before me. “ Everything was good. Like, it was hard, it was definitely like ‘okay, this is a totally different kind of situation than I’ve ever had or been in before, but if I survived all the drills and all the hours I’ve spent in this kind of environment in the other places, I’m sure I can do it here.’
“And that’s what I did. I did abs, I went extra ring time, I was training every day, I was doing promo classes, I was pitching ideas and having creative meetings. Road Dogg and I would sit down and talk about stuff for like, hours and I would just, I would have all these, I would have color charts. I would have movie references.
I think about this stuff so much because I just care and I just love it so much. So things were like, really good. And you know, as you can see what happened, things changed as time went on and then 2.0 came about and I feel like that is when a really big change happened.”
