Diving deeper into her journey, Green discussed the various challenges she encountered, which began when she was dismissed and then later brought back for season six of “WWE Tough Enough.”

“I got kicked out of the tryout. I didn’t even make ‘Tough Enough.’ I got kicked out of the tryout and then I got brought back,” Green said. “I got kicked off the show when I thought, ‘This was it, I was winning.’ And then everyone [from that season] got signed except me. I had two more tryouts after that. My last tryout, they tried to tell me that they did not need me to have a tryout. They knew what I could do, and there wasn’t a fit for me. And I said, ‘You don’t know what I could do because if you knew what I could do, you would hire me.’ And then they gave me the last tryout and they signed me [in 2018].”

Upon signing with WWE, Green reported to the promotion’s developmental brand of “NXT.” Unfortunately, Green was met with more obstacles as she sustained two wrist injuries. After the latter injury derailed her “SmackDown” debut, Green was sidelined and eventually released by WWE in April 2021. She bounced back with notable runs in GCW, Impact Wrestling, and the National Wrestling Alliance, and eventually, WWE offered her another contract.
