In a RAW digital exclusive interview with Jackie Redmond, Blair Davenport commented on being picked by SmackDown. Davenport was in shock but was happy that she'd taken the next step in her career.

Just to see that now I'm a part of SmackDown, honestly I can't even, I'm on a wave of emotions right now. This is honestly everything I've ever wanted. I've made my family proud. I know I've made all my friends back home, everything I've left behind on the journey and it's just really, really nice to see that everything I've sacrificed in a way is finally paying off," she said.
