My background in gymnastics, martial arts, and dancing has translated very well in the ring.

I was a wrestler and now I teach jiu-jitsu, but they're obviously different in many ways. However, they do kind of translate.

I would say that the one thing I miss obviously is the in-ring action. The closest I get to that is being able to teach big groups of women and leading them down the path towards empowerment towards jiu-jitsu.

I embrace my Latina background because I know that by doing so we will continue to break down stereotypes that may exist of Latina women.

I can't tell you the number of times I have been underestimated, objectified or deprived of fair credit for my accomplishments based on my gender or ethnicity.

Being offered the role in the Jackie Chan film was amazing. I got to do a fight scene with Jackie Chan.

Performing for WWE did so much for me in terms of teaching me how to act and doing fighting scenes.

The one thing that I always encourage women who want to be WWE Divas to do is have something you are passionate about. For me it was Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts. For some people it's soccer. Whatever it is, it gives you confidence and that will translate.

Obviously, I love Becky Lynch. She's 'The Man,' right?

Where the women's division is now, if you had told me when I was there that women were gonna headline 'WrestleMania,' I would have said, 'Get out of here. That's never gonna happen.'

I honestly felt like there was a ceiling for me that I was not able to break.

Vince has always been so hands-on, and that's why WWE does so well.

I'm proud of the Diva division.

When it comes to the live events, you get to see great Diva matches you don't see on 'Monday Night Raw.'

'Stars Earn Stripes' was one of the best experiences of my life.

WWE is a huge supporter of our troops. Part of my love and admiration for our men and women in the military has come from the tours we have done.

I think being a WWE Diva is a tough job; there's lots we do that's not seen on television, constantly working and trying to better ourselves.

I'm excited about developing as a Diva and finding where my place is in this company.

It's one thing when my family is just happy, but it's another thing when they're really proud of me.

I joined the 'Celebri-tee campaign' and customized what is negatively known as a 'wife beater' to raise awareness about domestic abuse and the ways in which abusive language can be hurtful.

I think I just need to be myself. I think that's what this 'Diva Search' competition is all about.

When I started working with Maryse is when I really felt like people can start to see what I stand for and who I am.

When they told all of us about the idea of NXT, for the Divas that was our first question - will there be women on the show?

I was a huge Jackie Chan fan growing up.

Timing is a big part of stunt work and fighting scenes. It's something you learn in WWE, especially when they are really character-driven fights.

There is a big difference between performing in WWE before thousands of people in an arena and acting in a scene with a camera close-up on your face.

I would consider myself a casual fan growing up because obviously wrestling was such a huge part of pop culture, and still is. I was a fan as much as it was a part of pop culture.

I think the Diva Search was a great way to find women who might have been intimidated to get into the WWE world on their own.

I think the first time that you win the title - you just don't know how to make the most out of your title reign until you've had one and then you've lost it. Once you lose something, you know how much more it means to you.

I always try to put my best foot forward both inside and outside the ring.

I love women's wrestling.

We're a great part of the show... we're a novelty on the show. I think having one Divas match a night really makes it special, and I'm proud to be a part of it and hope to take it to the next level.

Sometimes the best stories come from mistakes.

One thing I wanted when I left was to make this Divas Championship mean something a little bit more than what it did.

I wanted this title to matter, I wanted women's wrestling to matter.

As far as lighting and blocking, camera angles and facial expressions, all that stuff that has to be very specific in film, as opposed to in wrestling where everything is larger than life and you're performing to the masses.

I definitely miss parts of wrestling like having matches, especially when I watch the product.

It's not my fault that men fall in love with me!
