"Obviously, everybody knows what Indi means to me and Candice; we absolutely love [her], and we absolutely believe in her. We still do believe that; she’s so incredibly young; I think she’s got a lot to offer the wrestling world, and I am very excited to see what she shows the wrestling world. I think she’s got untapped personality and untapped potential. I think when she’s able to finally show that to the world, people are gonna latch on," he said.
