Even before I got to WWE, I studied Triple H. He was one of my favorite superstars; his wrestling was ruthless, and I think a lot of his style you can see in me a little bit.
If there was a dream match I could do, it would definitely be in a match against Curt Hennig. I think, growing watching him, I have hours and hours and hours of footage of 'Mr. Perfect' Curt Hennig and just studied his stuff for years.
When I was very first getting into wrestling, the Undertaker was my favorite.
My uncle inspired me, and it was because of him that I become a wrestler, but besides him, the one Superstar that really caught my attention growing up as a kid was 'Macho Man' Randy Savage.
I want to be a Roman Reigns; I want to be a John Cena.
Hulk Hogan was my reason for getting into the business. He was this larger-than-life entity.
I would love, love, love, love a one-on-one match with Tanahashi, and I've never had one before. He's my all-time favorite New Japan guy. I think the guy's a rockstar. He's so cool, just in the ring and in person.
Long before the late '90s, being a pro-wrestler was a dream of mine. At that time, I was going around the block, searching for VHS tapes so I can watch Hulk Hogan.
A guy who I always said was my favorite wrestler is Rey Mysterio.
I made the final decision to become a professional wrestler because I was able to look at Sting and what he was able to do inside and outside the ring.
I always wanted to be mentioned in the same breath as all of the great wrestlers.
My favorite growing up was Bret Hart. I just idolized him when I was a child; he was my hero.
I have this little, tiny Dusty Rhodes figure they make in Japan that people always give me in my bag. I set it next to the title and took a picture of it in my bag. That was my big goal in the industry. I wasn't able to achieve that in his lifetime, but he always believed.
Shawn Michaels is the reason I wanted to be a wrestler.
As long as I can remember, I was a WWE fan. I wanted to grow up and be a WWE superstar just like my favorites.
Eddie Guerrero is my number one. He is the reason I am in the WWE - I wanted to be the female version of him.
As a kid growing up, I did idolize Chris Jericho at one point.
For me, when it started off with Lita she was always my favorite. She can do what the guys can do, and I wanted to be like that when I was younger.
First time I met Hulk Hogan, I had a life-sized poster of him in my room and I idolized him as a kid.
I want to be the female Rey Mysterio. Whether it's with a mask or not, I want to be him.
