Nikkita recently did an interview with Ryan Satin on the Out of Character podcast. She revealed what it was like to work with former women’s champion.
“Oh my goodness, she is wonderful. She is the sweetest person, and I’m just grateful. Put it this way, she texted me this morning to see how my knee was doing. She is such a sweetheart and so great to work with. I just loved working with her, and I can’t wait to do it again if I have the opportunity.” (H/T: Wrestling Inc)
