RAW Women's Champion Nikki A.S.H. recently appeared on WWE's The Bump, where she talked about her new character and how it has been years since she finally found herself and felt comfortable and that the character makes her feel like she can do anything and accomplish anything.
Nikki A.S.H. said:
“I just feel that Nikki A.S.H. is who I was supposed to be.” “It’s been years and years of finding myself and finding the confidence and happiness and joy. Finding it and spreading it, I don’t want to keep this just to myself. I want to spread it to everyone. The metamorphosis represents that. I always wanted to be honest and say I know I don’t have superpowers, super-speed or super-strength, but when I put on this cape and mask, I feel like I can try anything.”
“I just people to feel that: That they can try anything that they put their mind to. Being able to share that message was so important and so crucial and essential. I’m so over the moon and excited!”
Shane Helms then spoke about how Nikki A.S.H. has been respectful and polite in asking his permission in order to use her character even though she didn't have to and how it’s been fun watching her grow.
Shane Helms said:
“It’s been amazing. I try to be there in gorilla every time she comes back. For the big moments, I’ve been there.” “She’s been polite and humble. Not that she had to ask for permission, but you know, I’m not wrestling as The Hurricane anymore. I just turned 47, and that window might be closing.”
“She took the respectful route and asked me about it, and from day one, I told her, whatever you need, I’m here for you. It’s been fun watching her grow. Nobody was happier for her than me that night.”
Nikki A.S.H. added:
“One day in the future, I really hope The Hurricane and Nikki A.S.H. can be seen in one room for the WWE Universe. The support he’s given me has been so wonderful.”
Shane Helms then spoke about how he has ideas of possibly joining forces with Nikki A.S.H.
Shane Helms said:
“Uh, let me say, I have ideas, but I don’t want to give them out now.” “It would have to be something that highlights Nikki. That’s something I want to make sure of ’cause I’ve had a lot of great moments myself, but if I could find a way to highlight Nikki, 100 percent, I’m in.”
