On her TNA Gut Check tryout: "Definitely it was a surprise to me as well. ... In my head I thought there was no reason for me not to. I felt that Lei D'Tapa was great, too, and she has a lot of potential. At least I thought I was ready now. ... They would have benefited from signing us both. ... I'm happy for Lei D'Tapa, she's a great girl, she's humble. ... I'm sure everyone felt like TNA could've benefited from both of us. ... The whole thing, they were really good at that, at all moments, we never knew. ... I had no clue what was going to happen at any moment. ... Everyone knows both of these girls should be here. ... That was my real reaction, I was just speechless. ... When I heard that crowd...I feel like, equally, we both created that with our hard work into the match. ... It wasn't just her! β¦ And then I didn't even make it to the ring. ... I was like "damn, really?" ... From wrestlers and fans, it was a big reaction. A lot of people agreed that both of us had a lot to bring to the table. The only difference is I could bring it now. β¦ I'm ready now."
On her release from the WWE: "The release ... the rumors, they're just rumors ... no matter what I say, I could say it 100 times: no I don't have a bad attitude ... I know for sure that since day one since I started my career I always seek to approach my work as professional as possible. I've heard it all. ... People close to me, people that work with me can testify to that ... my work is everything to me, it's all I know. I gave up scholarships from school and I was an honor student and I gave up all of it to go on this voyage with complete odds against me ... Of course I'm going to approach it with all my heart."
