Reflecting on her call-up, which comes almost one year after a brief stint on SmackDown, Legend noted that she had anticipated this transition. “Honestly? No. I think, honestly, the past year I’ve been knowing that… I’ve just been having a feeling of knowing in my gut since we had the storyline around this time last year,” she stated. This confidence was rooted in her experiences and storylines that hinted at her eventual promotion.
In her conversation with Salcedo, Legend highlighted the vital role of her support system, particularly her partner, Trick Williams. She expressed appreciation for his understanding of the wrestling business and his unwavering encouragement throughout her journey. Additionally, she acknowledged the support from established main roster stars, including Nia Jax, Bianca Belair, and Naomi, who uplifted her during her time in NXT. Legend recalled Belair’s constant reassurance that her call-up would eventually occur, saying, “It’s going to happen.”
Lash Legend’s gratitude extended beyond her immediate circle to include WWE fans and the behind-the-scenes crew. She reflected on her five years in NXT, emphasizing the diverse opportunities and challenges she faced. “I’m grateful for every single thing I endured at NXT,” she remarked. The experiences she gained during this time, she believes, have significantly prepared her for her current role on SmackDown.
With her call-up now official, Legend is eager to showcase her skills on a larger platform.
