During an appearance on Lilian Garcia’s podcast, Dana Brooke commented on how she almost quit WWE last month when her scheduled RAW match with Natalya was canceled:
“When I was told that ‘your match isn’t happening,’ at that point in time I was just like ‘No. This place does not define me. I am stronger than this. I wanna go to prove to the world that you can’t keep me down.’ I said ‘You know something, if I quit now, what kind of example am I gonna be for everyone that’s followed me. Who’s supported me. Who’s been my backbone through the hardest time’,” she added. “I cannot give up now.”
