“My name will always go down in history as the first Miss Money in the Bank. It's so cool!”

“I want to make history and just show people that if you have determination and if you want to work hard enough and want something, you can make it happen.”

“I just feel so lucky and fortunate to be a part of all these 'first-evers.' Now it's getting to a point where we don't even have to say the 'first-ever' or anything like that because it's just become the norm. Before, it was, 'Oh my gosh, the women are the main event of 'Smackdown' tonight.' And now it's, 'The women are the main event.'”

“I was in NXT for about a little over two years, and then I was drafted to 'SmackDown Live,' and now I can say I'm the first-ever Miss Money in the Bank.”

“I love to be talky and tell everyone how good I am.”

“For sure, J-Lo is the best.”

“I have had way more opportunity on 'Smackdown Live' than I ever did at NXT.”

“I love the small-town vibe.”

“I was a dancer for over 20 years.”

“Never think you're too good for a role, and never take yourself too seriously.”

“I'm the Princess of Staten Island. You gotta go big or go home, baby!”

“I would love to see The IIconics become the first women tag team champions.”

“If the fans are making a noise and reacting, then you're doing a good job.”

“I feel it's important to show different sides of my character, and I never take myself too seriously.”

“Anytime you're partnered with a guy in wrestling, it's exciting and different. Having James Ellsworth by my side for a while, that got people talking.”

“I'm game to make a fool of myself.”

“After starting off in NXT and then getting here to 'SmackDown Live,' all I ever wanted to do was to create history and be a part of the women's revolution.”

“I know my role as a bad guy is to get everyone to hate me.”

“I think, every single time I step into the ring, I try and be better than the last.”

“I can joke around and say I look and do the best, but honestly, I just feel like, whatever situation I'm in, I want to do the best at it and keep improving.”
