"The three here, it’s a hard pick. They are all talented in their own right, all of them are very athletic, very good female professional wrestlers. All champions in their own right. I’ll have to go with one of my personal favorites as Becky lynch. She’s one of those chicks that can pretty much do it all there. I think she’s been there the longest out of the crew here. So, she’s been in the game for many years. I love her psychology and the way she works in the ring, with her promos and so forth." [From 02:30 to 03:43]
