We are good, trying to, you know, 12 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.599 brave the snowstorm that we've had here in Nashville and Middle Tennessee, and 13 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:12.040 it's been fun. We've got uh seven and a half eight inches of snow 14 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:18.560 Monday. I got I got five down here. I'm and I have a 15 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.480 pull in my backyard that is a nice skating rink at the moment, so 16 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.560 Uh, you know, you got a busy couple of weeks ahead of you. 17 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.200 You've got the Royal Rubble coming up, and then literally right after the 18 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.640 Royal Rumble, it's the kickoff to the road to WrestleMania and Knoxville at the 19 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.519 Knoxville Civic Coliseum where you're taking on Zoe Stark. Uh. You know, 20 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.079 I don't want to put the cart before the horse and jump past Royal Rumble, 21 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.359 but I do want to talk about the Knoxville show. How do you 22 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:51.159 feel going against Zoe Stark at that show? Oh, my gosh, so 23 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:56.359 funny. I had my first MMA fight at that same venue in Knoxville. 24 00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.959 So a full circle going on homecoming too for you. Yeah, It's it's 25 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.200 crazy. You know, it's like a full circle moment. You know. 26 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.919 I kind of started in that town where you know, everything kind of came 27 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.280 to be where I am. So it's definitely cool to go back there and 28 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:19.879 like experience you know, everything and see everyone. So and Zoe. So 29 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:24.520 me and Zoe have a little bit of history. When she injured her knee 30 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.000 last year or two years ago or whenever, you know, I was in 31 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.199 the ring with her helping her get cleared. Had practice matches with her, 32 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.520 and next thing, you know, she moved up to roll without me and 33 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.280 became, you know, to be this awesome superstar she is now. But 34 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:46.879 definitely we've butted heads, you know, about who's stronger and who's you know, 35 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:51.719 like muscle versus muscle type things. So definitely I've had some of my 36 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:57.199 best fights with her. So I guarantee this is gonna be a hell of 37 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.680 a fight. Oh definitely is. I think it'll be the fight, the 38 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:01.560 fight of the night, the thing that's going to steal the show. And 39 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:07.840 again, that's happening Knoxville Civic Coliseum February third, Road to WrestleMania. Tickets 40 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.439 you can still grab those there on sale at ticketmaster dot com. And uh, 41 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.439 you know, there's also some other great things that are happening. NXT 42 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.400 Vengeance Day is right down the street from us in Clarksville. That is happening 43 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:23.599 February fourth at the F and M Bank Arena at UH in Clarksville. Tickets, 44 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.360 ticketmaster dot com. Which we'll talk about NXT here for a second. 45 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.240 And you know, you spend some time at NXT. Transitioning from NXT to 46 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:37.080 raw very significant step in any WWE Superstars career. What has been I guess 47 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:43.080 the biggest difference for you in terms of competition, atmosphere and challenges. So 48 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.319 in NXT you create a very special bond with everyone, you know, because 49 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.280 you're at the performance center, you're training. There's just this bond that you 50 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.000 create with people you know, and it's it's like I have to start over, 51 00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:00.000 you know, here at raw and kind of I've wrestled people I've never 52 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.360 wrestled before, you know, and that's you know, it feels kind of 53 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:09.039 different, you know, in NXTO, Like there's some people that I've created 54 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.919 bonds for for life and I'll continue to train with them and you know, 55 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.160 grow with them and stuff. So it's definitely a different transition to kind of 56 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.600 work with people that you've never really you know, have ever talked with before. 57 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.560 And next thing, you know, you're fighting that person. Like wait 58 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:28.040 a second, it's a little it's just you know, gonna be an adjustment, 59 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.720 but definitely something I'm ready for. Yeah, I guess, you know, 60 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.040 kind of you have that shared experience in NXT like you're going through the 61 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:39.160 same thing and have the same teachers and stuff. So yeah, that makes 62 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.040 sense. Yeah, so a big highlight for you, Uh, not too 63 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.079 long ago. Your recent match gets Ray Ripley. I got a lot of 64 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.439 attention over socials and everything. A lot of people buzz and you know, 65 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:55.160 can you give us some insights maybe into like your preparation and strategy you kind 66 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.160 of had going into that match, and like, were there any like if 67 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.360 you change that, Like would you do anything different now you know looking back 68 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:08.439 on it. Oh gosh, So I go into I go into this match 69 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:12.000 with the mentality of instead of what am I thinking? Like what is Riha 70 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:17.839 thinking? So she doesn't have I've watched probably every single match of hers ever 71 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:23.720 since NXT. Wow. I was a fan, you know, loved her 72 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:29.600 stuff, and I think she as a person just elevates herself every single match. 73 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.639 I feel like she's just like getting better and better and better. So 74 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:38.879 I have, gosh, how many years of matches from her that I can 75 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:45.160 watch and study her. She only has about two years on me. So 76 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.399 and you know, in NXT, I didn't have a bunch of I didn't 77 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:53.519 have any title matches, I didn't have any pay per view matches, So 78 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.800 I feel like she didn't have much to study on me, which helps me. 79 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:03.800 I think I had all these years of experience on her to like study 80 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:08.319 and really know what she's capable of. And for me, I don't think 81 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.959 she had any idea. So I don't think she knew I was going to 82 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.439 german her on the floor, german her off the second rope. I think 83 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.439 she had no idea about some of this stuff. So I think I've been 84 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:21.399 her biggest challenge, and I think I've been her you know, biggest surprise. 85 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.759 Yeah, And I think we need to get We need to get Ivy 86 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.360 and Rhea Part two soon, whether it be WrestleMania, which that's what I'm 87 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:35.360 hoping for, because could you imagine and this actually transitions to the Royal Rumble, 88 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.759 because I want to talk about that for a second, because I mean, 89 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.600 it's an exciting event for WWE fans. It's who's going to show up, 90 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.399 what's gonna happen. It kind of starts the whole year of storylines for 91 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.360 wrestling fans in WWE. Which I do think that Ivy will win the Royal 92 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.879 Rumble. We'll say that right now on this show, because we do put 93 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.480 good luck out into the universe, no pressure at all. But you know, 94 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.160 how do you approach such a unique match, and like, other than 95 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:08.000 not getting thrown over the top rope, what strategies do you employed to outlast 96 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:13.839 year opponents in the upcoming Royal Rumble match? So this is another cool thing. 97 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.839 I was an alternate last year, so I was an XT. I 98 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.920 was brought to their mumble to be an alternate just in case something happens. 99 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:26.040 So I was there last year just watching and just like observing everything. And 100 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.759 so this year, you know, I haven't been officially announced, so I 101 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.040 don't know for sure, but I hope to make that run. And you 102 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:40.319 know, just just watch watching her back, watching the people who think I'll 103 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.079 be an easy elimination, like Naya Jacks or like some of these big girls 104 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.560 that are in there, who think they're gonna look at me and be like 105 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.879 she's an easy elimination. I'll just throw her out. Little do they know, 106 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.959 Like I'm like a spider monkey, and I'm like not gonna like I'm 107 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.920 gonna like hold onto the ropes or become dead weight and like you can't even 108 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.519 pick me up, like I'm gonna, oh my gosh, you no, 109 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:03.040 Like it's I'm either gonna be the winner, I'm gonna be the final whatever 110 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.879 five, four three, whatever, Like, no, it's I'm not gonna 111 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:11.319 be easy elimination at all. Well, we're gonna know that you will win 112 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.560 that that see you down there, your music's gonna hit. We're gonna be 113 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.360 like, well, there's the winner right there, just go ahead. Yeah, 114 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.079 And you know, that match is interesting because like you can kind of 115 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.000 win even if you don't win. You know, like you'll have people that'll 116 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.959 have a fifty minute run and they'll get eliminated, and like, I mean 117 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.120 that kind of puts you on the map and stuff like that. So that 118 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:31.759 one, you know, yeah, So I mean like you could kind of 119 00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:35.399 come out of it in a good light even if you're not not the winner. 120 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.519 So yeah, that match is always exciting. We love it. So, 121 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.720 you know, with your growing popularity, fans are kind of curious, 122 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.039 you know, about your journey from NXT to and now and to the ww 123 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.919 main roster. What what would you say has been your most memorable moment of 124 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.639 your career so far? And you know, why does that moment stand out 125 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.600 for you? So I've been with the Creed Brothers since the beginning of my 126 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.440 career and we had a six and tag with the schism. This past year 127 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:09.559 and these boys. I don't flip. I'm a flip. I like ground 128 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:16.440 sighting, I like kicking, I like wrestling like on my feet. These 129 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:22.600 boys had me flipping diving the stuff that I never do and they're just do 130 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.159 Liers is like, yeah, I'll just like throw you at them. I'm 131 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.639 like, no, like this is crazy. I was like my feet along 132 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.200 on the ground and uh, they just like they pushed me to like do 133 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.559 stuff I never do before, and I actually loved it and it actually worked 134 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:43.240 out great. But that definitely was something that they pushed me so far outside 135 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.919 my comfort zone that I like freaked out. But you know, they're you 136 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.960 know there, always wanted me to do crazy stuff just like they do. 137 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:56.399 So but yeah, that probably was my most memorable because it was the most 138 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.480 scared it was. Yeah, and of course the Creed Brothers actually gonna be 139 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.879 on that show in Knoxville along with you for the ww Road to WrestleMania which 140 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.440 is February third. Tickets grab them ticketmaster dot com. They're taking on Ludwig 141 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.000 and Giovanni of Imperium in that show, so that's gonna be a fun match 142 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.799 as well. You know, the thing is I actually uh. Recently when 143 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.240 ww when Rawl was in Nashville, I saw the Creed brothers up front during 144 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:28.039 that tag team tournament thing, and like, I was just blown away of 145 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.759 them just going insane, like you said, doing flips, and I was 146 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.320 like, I don't think even I that size could do flips. And they're 147 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.759 over here doing backflips and moon salts and you know, jumping from the floor 148 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.279 to the third turnbuck and I'm like, how is that physically possible? I 149 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.039 don't know. Yeah, yeah, Brutus is a big boy and he's doing 150 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.960 like moon salts and like flips. I'm like, I can't even do that. 151 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.600 Like I'm just so blown away by them. And it's they're like the 152 00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.240 physical embodiment of like an energy drink. I mean, it is just like 153 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:05.120 how are you doing this stuff? Like it now? So here's kind of 154 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.399 a fun thing that we like to do on this show is we we like 155 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:13.879 to embrace technology. And of course everybody talks about chat GPT and the robots. 156 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.000 So I turned to our chat GPT robot to ask Ivy Nile a question. 157 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.279 We never know what it's gonna be. Most of the time, it's 158 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.320 like how do you get the journey into wrestling, which we all know how 159 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.600 that went. But this is the question that the robot said, if you 160 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.559 could tag team with any fictional character in the ring, who would it be 161 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:41.120 and what would your ultimate finishing move together be called? It's pretty good fictional 162 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:50.960 yeah, oh my gosh, okay, can like superheroes count? Superheroes count 163 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:56.639 any fictional character. So if I were to pick a superhero, I'd pick 164 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:01.679 Wolverine. Ooh, that's a good I don't I just I don't like Wonder 165 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.799 Woman's cool whatever, but I'm a huge Wolverine fan, always been. So 166 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:16.799 my finishes the dragon sleeper and uh, let's see, do you guys have 167 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.440 anything that comes to your mind about that Wolf's din Nuh, maybe I don't 168 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.480 know something like that. That's a tough one. Now we're putting ourselves on 169 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.799 the spot trying to figure this one. I mean, that's really good though, 170 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.159 because I think like he almost would kind of have a similar ground or 171 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.240 like a battle of set, like you have move set and stuff like the 172 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:41.879 grounded and more of the I don't see Wolverine doing a lot of flips and 173 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.200 stuff, so like that would be good, like two brawlers and stuff. 174 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:50.320 Maybe something with the atom manium like a yeah, like his his kryptonite though, 175 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.720 no, No, that's the stuff that's made of his arm. That's 176 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:54.480 his metal in his arms, yeah, or his skeleton. Yeah, maybe 177 00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:00.840 the automatium smash or something. Or maybe what we'll do is once once everybody's 178 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.559 watching this on YouTube, if you could put in the comments what the finishers 179 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.159 should be in there? I lay it back, So comments in the comments 180 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.120 section down there. There we go. Yeah, I know you're a busy 181 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.000 person. We don't want to take up too much of your time. But 182 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.399 you know, outside of the ring, many WWE superstars have interest in hobbies, 183 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.720 as you could tell. Mine and Eli's hobby is collecting belts and autograph 184 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:24.919 Funko pops and whatnot. Are there any personal passions or activities that you enjoyed 185 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:31.120 that you know, the WWE universe might not be aware of. So during 186 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.559 the summer, I'm I live in Florida, so it's like warm a lot. 187 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.200 Sorry, you're enjoying that weather right now? Well, actually it's kind 188 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.399 of cold down there right now, isn't it. Uh it's in the fifties. 189 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.360 Okay, Well that's not too bad. Somebody I know in Florida is 190 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.320 like thirty six or something down there. That's kind of cold for Florida. 191 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:54.639 Maybe northern Florida maybe maybe. So yeah, So I have dabbled into some 192 00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:00.879 wakesurfing. Oh oh nice. So it's so much fun, Like it's we 193 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.519 go on the lake and you know, we're I learned how to surf, 194 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.960 like not the ones where your feet are strapped in and the free surf. 195 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.759 Okay, learn how to do some tricks on it, learn how to do 196 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.039 like a three sixty on it and stuff, and that's like such a cool 197 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.080 activity to like you're in the water, You're getting your son, like it's 198 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.080 just Florida. Gators might be there, it's fine, they fe So if 199 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.559 this wrestling thing doesn't work out at the end of it, you could be 200 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:33.200 a professional surfer. I don't oh gosh, I don't want to have that 201 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.120 happen. But I mean, like who knows. Well, I was gonna 202 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.679 say, you probably don't want to let the Creed brothers know that, because 203 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.240 they're like, oh, she is flipping, she is doing this stuff. 204 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.759 Okay, let's get yeah, let's get her in the ring. Let's dry 205 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.120 this. Yeah, Julius on it. He went and tried it, and 206 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.759 he's actually pretty good too, of course, but of course he had me 207 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.519 do some kind of like flip into the water, and I'm like, leave 208 00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:01.919 me alone. Of course, we we don't have to worry about the wrestling 209 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:05.039 thing not working out because we know that you've got a hell of a career 210 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:09.279 ahead of you, very talented.

I saw my TikTok 221 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.919 Twitter a little bit, but mostly it's going to be Instagram, and TikTok. 222 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.559 Actually, well, I it was an honor and a pleasure talking with 223 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.960 you ahead of you know, the Raw Rumble, the road to wrestle Mania 224 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.600 and of course NXT Vengeance Day happening right up the road in Knoxville and in 225 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.360 Clarksville for both of those ladder shows.
