"Ronda is a good buddy of mine, you know she is amazing, we don't talk every day--I don't think we have to, she has her own life, I have mine. But I remember like I'll shoot her a text like, 'Hey, how are you, where are you in the world,' that type of thing. She'll be like, 'Hey, I'm good,' you know me and my husband helped her come back for the Royal Rumble match, she flew us out there, she had a ring, we helped her get ready for that."
