As noted, Emma recently spoke with Australian press while promoting WWE’s live event tour in Australia next month. Emma spoke with News Hub NZ last week about the tour; you can read a few highlights below:
Emma comments on how she got into wrestling:
“I fell in love with wrestling. I remember thinking that ‘there must be some way I can learn how to do this’ and I never snapped out of that mind-set. I found an independent wrestling school, learnt my trade and just went from there – now I’m here in the WWE.”

Emma reveals why her mother is her biggest supporter in pursuing her wrestling career:
“My mum is one of my biggest supporters. She is the one who helped me break into wrestling and start training at such a young age even though she didn’t necessarily want me to.
I nagged here so much and she would come with me to training and keep an eye on me. Because of her support I kept training all the way through school and by the time I was 19 she knew I wasn’t snapping out of it – she knew it was the only thing I ever wanted to do. There were no questions asked. Wrestling was the only thing I was doing.”
Emma comments on how the #GiveEmmaAChance hashtag has helped get her more TV time since returning from injury:
“It has really worked for me recently because of my fans, the comments I had been getting from them made me react to it and you can see it’s really paid off in the last few weeks.
It’s about time too, the whole #GiveEmmaAChance thing is real. I mean when do I get my chance at the championship, I have never had that and it just goes to show how social media can help.”
