Mia Yim recently spoke with Denise Salcedo to promote the WWE Royal Rumble 2023 pay-per-view at The Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday.
During the discussion, the women’s wrestling veteran spoke about the camaraderie among the wrestlers in the women’s locker room in WWE.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On the camaraderie with the girls in the locker room: “Oh my gosh, it’s a great locker room, like the girls that I grew up with in NXT are now on the main roster, and like, the first day when I came back, and I finally went to the locker room, it was just like, hugs and videos and pictures. It was just nice to just be around Bianca, Rhea, Dakota, and Tamina, Nikki, like all of us are real cool together. I love every single one of them. It’s nice being back.”
On how she hopes to redeem her name by working with top talents like Bianca Belair and Shayna Baszler: “Short-term goals, I definitely want to continue roughing it up with the boys. Actually, that’s a long-term goal, stay with The OC. They’re my boys. Nothing’s gonna change about that. I would love to have another feud with Bianca. I would love to get to maybe do something with Shayna again, like the stuff that the feud we had in NXT, bring it to the main roster, but sticking with The OC and doing stuff with them whenever they need help, I’m always there, and long term, I just want to solidify my place in WWE, redeem my name, and have everyone know that I can still go.”
