“Allow me to be sappy and then forget this ever happened. Rebecca [Becky Lynch], you’re selfless, hilarious, and pure joy to spar with. Thank you for keeping me safe and making me better. Jess [Jessika Carr], thank you for being a true partner in our matches and always calming my anxiety. Carla [Roxanne Perez] and Aoife [Lyra Valkyria], I fell in love with wrestling again by seeing it through your eyes. I’m so proud to be a teeny part of your journey. You’re way cooler and more talented than I ever was. But I still have to kick your asses one day.
Pam [Bayley], you’re the undisputed GOAT. Thank you for going out of your way to help me train, to make every show so f’ing fun, and for healing my jaded heart. To all the women in the locker room, I admire and respect you so damn much. You are my wildest dreams for women’s wrestling come true. Thank you for making me feel so welcome and supported and dealing with my obnoxiously loud laugh.
To my AJ Leegion, my mania entrance was a love letter to you, and to every girl who will become her own superhero. Thank you for supporting me for two decades, selling out my merchandise, giving me record-setting views, and making Converse a small fortune with your AJ cosplay. Your passion kept me coming back. Stay weird, see you soon.”
