Kana officially signed her WWE contract on Monday and spoke with WWE.com recently about the signing. Here are the highlights.
What does it mean to you to be signed by WWE and wrestle in NXT’s acclaimed women’s division?
I have been in this business for more than 10 years and have accomplished almost everything there is to accomplish. When the opportunity with WWE came up, I saw it as a chance to showcase my talents to the world on the biggest sports-entertainment stage there is. In this business, you always dream of making it in WWE, and I am going to give everything I have to the WWE Universe and make sure I take full advantage of the opportunity in front of me.
What were your first impressions of the WWE Performance Center?
It is like nothing I have ever seen before. I was very impressed. The [Performance Center] has everything you could ever need under one roof. I can’t wait to get to Orlando and take advantage of everything it has to offer.
You’ve been in the ring with everyone from former Superstar Tajiri to NXT Assistant Head Coach Sara Amato. If you could have a dream match against any past or present WWE Diva, who would it be?
I want to take on all the Divas and gain their respect, while also leaving my mark on the division.
What are you most looking forward to?
It has been amazing watching the likes of Sasha Banks, Bayley, Becky Lynch and Charlotte take the Divas division by storm. I can’t wait to get in the ring with them and add my own chapter to the Divas Revolution.
