TRINITY had quite the audience when she debuted with IMPACT Wrestling this past weekend in Chicago.
Among those were Mercedes Mone (formerly Sasha Banks in WWE), AEW star CM Punk & WWE star Tamina Snuka.
While speaking with TMZ Sports, Trinity spoke about all of the support she had from friends.
“It was everything. It gave me that extra boost that I needed to really follow through and do it because I was so scared,” Trinity said during a new interview with TMZ Sports.
“At one point, I was literally thinking, ‘How am I going to do this?’ Mercedes being there — she was there with me the entire weekend, just helping me, helping me pick out my outfits, talking to me, talking to me through things, buying glow sticks; she was just so incredible. To have her there, I felt like everyone came to support me. I gotta show up. I gotta deliver, I gotta kick out, I gotta do this. I can do this. They really made me believe that I’m going to be okay and that I’m going to do well.
“Right before my match, Tamina comes walking in, and I turned around and just started crying because it’s so incredible for everyone to stop what they’re doing in their lives to come all the way here because they believe in me that much. It made me believe in myself a little bit more,” she continued. “Then, too, CM Punk shows up and he comes in, and it was really cool to see him. He gives me a big hug and just knew that he was there, and got to see me, it was all so surreal. Then, Manny [Kalisto] was there and helping me with ideas. So much love and support. It was unbelievable. It was so surreal, and I’ll never forget it. It was really all I needed to go out there and turn on.”
