For Lash Legend, competing at WrestleMania 42 only months after officially joining WWE’s main roster was already a surreal experience. But being able to honor one of wrestling’s legendary tag teams made the moment even more special.
During a recent appearance on Bodyslam.net’s Wrestleholics podcast, Legend reflected on competing at WrestleMania and coming out in tribute gear inspired by the iconic Demolition duo.
“I mean, those are like dream moments and essentially what we trained for all year. Everybody wants a WrestleMania match and the fact that I got it, what, six months in on the main roster is just incredible.”
Legend admitted that paying tribute to Demolition during the event became one of the highlights of the entire WrestleMania week for her.
“And, you know, being able to honor the Demolition Brothers, that was so, so cool. And the gear, man, that came out so sick. I didn’t know what to envision completely, but shout out to our gear makers. They did that.”
According to Legend, the experience became even more meaningful after getting the opportunity to spend time with the legendary tag team prior to the match.
“And it was really cool that we got to have that moment with the Demolition Brothers prior to the match, get some pictures. So just that whole moment, that whole week, everything was just, it’s just a dream, honestly.”
Legend also reflected on her standout showing in this year’s Royal Rumble match, where she scored five eliminations — the highest total in the match.
“So obviously WrestleMania, like you mentioned, Royal Rumble had an amazing showing. Got to eliminate Hall of Famers, future Hall of Famers. And I had the most this year, which was five. So that was really, really cool.”
While discussing her rapid rise on the main roster, Legend also credited Nia Jax as one of the biggest influences on her recent development, both inside and outside the ring.
Legend explained that working with Jax during her final run in NXT pushed her physically in ways she had not experienced before.
“At NXT, towards my end run there, she asked to come down and work against me and I was all for it. Obviously I hadn’t worked anybody of that caliber and that dominant in the ring. I’m being the bully to everyone, so to get a taste of being bullied back, I’m like, hold up, wait a minute.”
She added that Jax has continued helping guide her transition to WWE’s main roster, something Legend says has made the adjustment far smoother than she expected.
“She’s testing me the most and I think she’s also helped me grow the most and make this transition from NXT to the main roster just seamless. I don’t got to worry about nothing because I got Nia on my side just there for me, vouching for me. Like it’s been amazing.”
Legend also hyped up her growing alliance with Jax, revealing that the duo is officially known as “The Irresistible Forces.”
“Well, if you didn’t know, Nia Jax and myself, Lash Legend, the one and only Bougie Bully — we are called The Irresistible Forces. We are literally the biggest girls in the entire WWE across all brands and we’re the most dominant.”
With momentum continuing to build around Lash Legend on WWE television, it’s clear the former NXT standout sees herself as only getting started.
