Because management liked her personality and her knowledge of the business, she was given the in-ring tryout in Los Angeles. An interesting tidbit was that she received a phone call while flying back home telling her that she made the cut, but wasn't going to the tryout. Instead, they offered her a deal on the phone because they liked her and "they hoped she was as athletic as she looked."

The multi-time Women's Champ praised both Charlotte Flair and Shaul Guerrero (Eddie Guerrero's daughter) for taking her under their wings. They imparted "the knowledge of the culture of WWE" as they guided her. Bliss also revealed that Charlotte Flair always texts her after her matches.
The partnership with Nikki Cross was also tackled. Bliss mentioned that she really wanted to work with Cross and that after both women talked to Vince McMahon, he "gave us his blessing." She liked how the pairing was "this odd tag team that somehow works well" because they travel together and work on everything together.
Bliss was also asked about her history of body image struggles and how she has handled the battle. She wasn't comfortable going public with it 10 years ago because she "didn't want to be judged" or "get sympathy."
'The Goddess' added that "it's an internal battle" and that she "wanted to be the person who said 'I've gone through this'" to people she meets nowadays who are also struggling with body image." Bliss didn't really get that connection with someone while she was struggling. Since she had the history of struggle, she wanted to be the one to tell those struggling with it that the illness "won't always control you or define you."
