Where do you get your amazing robes - what fashions/ beauty products do you prefer?

So much goes into my character and I am constantly thinking of ways to make her larger than life. My first robe was at WrestleMania 32 and I noticed how many people loved it. Since then I really tried to go off of that and at each event that I have an opportunity to showcase new gear or a new robe, I really put in the detail in making the character look like "The Queen". They have gotten so much bigger and better and have elevated my character. I am thankful that I can work with WWE Seamstress and Costume Designer, Terry Anderson on all of my gear and robes.

Why do you think fans love your wrestling character?

I think they love that I built this character that was confident, dominant, arrogant, strong, and of course - I could perform in the ring and on the mic.

What’s your relationship with Stephanie McMahon - do you see her being able to continue to impact the WWE?

Stephanie McMahon is not only one of my mentors, but she is a huge supporter and I will forever be grateful to have been able to learn from her. She is an incredible person and has an incredible business acumen and of course, her love and passion for WWE is prevalent. She will 100% continue to make an impact on WWE - she was the force behind WWE's Women's Evolution and without her, female Superstars would not be getting the opportunities they so deserve.

Do you see yourself as a strong female role model? I’ve always wanted that superhero in my real life and for little girls, it’s just having a role model. You just wanna wrap your arms around them, you wanna be everything that they see you as. Remember that little girls don't see you the way you see you. And that’s what is most important.

Tell us a little about your daily health regimen and diet. Obviously, as a WWE Superstar, you have to look the part and physically be able to perform the moves in the ring, so I do put in the work at the gym - but it's all about moderation and having a rest day is very important to getting stronger. As far as my diet, I always say everything in moderation - have a candy bar or a glass of wine. When I used to limit myself or give myself too many no's, I would never end up fulfilling my fitness goals and everything that I worked so hard for would become undone.

A number of UFC fighters have explored regenerative stem-cell therapy to heal scars and injuries- do you think professional wrestlers might follow suit? Have you had any major injuries you’ve had to deal with? Obviously the physical demands of being an athlete - whether you are a UFC fighter or a WWE Superstar - are intense and injuries do take place and yes, I have had to deal with many injuries myself. Regenerative stem-cell therapy is very interesting and I'm sure many athletes have seen positive results from it, but I have not personally done anything around regenerative stem-cell therapy.

Any new projects or causes you are excited to be involved with?

I had dental surgery after WrestleMania 39, so I was out of the ring for a few months and I am excited to return soon!!
