Nikki Garcia reflects on Monday Night RAW (8:31-10:38)
Nikki Garcia: I feel great. What I love is every time I go
out there, I’m being pushed harder. I’m learning more about
myself in this era and I sit and watch, and I get feedback
from like you and Bryan, from myself, and I know what I need
to do next and how I need to improve even more, the little
things I could change, but I was so proud of Monday and I
got a lot of great feedback and I mean, your girl was
trending number one worldwide girl.
Brie Garcia: I’m not even on Twitter and I saw it.
Nikki Garcia: Oh, thanks, but even besides that, and you
know, Brie, if there’s a lot for me, like JJ on the group
text when he’s just played a pickup soccer game. He’s like,
“Nicole, I don’t know how you’re doing it. Like I already
need an ice bath and I played goalie,” so there’s just a lot
of moments for me where I just continued to push myself out
of my comfort zone. I wanted to bring in more moves and
challenge myself and things that I used to do and I’m going
against someone with a 20-year difference, you know?
Brie Garcia: I think it’s incredible.
Nikki Garcia: It really is.
Brie Garcia: And it’s nice for women of my age and older,
and even I think, you know, women who are coming up on 40 to
see a woman on television competing against people in their
youth in their 20s. It’s nice to see that. It feels good.
It’s like, you know, I think I when I see a lot of people,
you know, cheer people on or say, “Oh, this is my favorite
actress,” or whatever. There’s some similarity in that
person that they feel they share with, and that’s why they
get connected, so you’re doing it for all of us mamas, and
we love it.
Nikki Garcia: Well, thank you, and you know, it’ll come a
time where, you know, I won’t even really have to talk about
age much, right? But it’s just the era I’m in and it’s a
professional sport, but what I love is just for myself, I
get to continue to see me grow, get better, keep bringing it
up another notch and I know what I’m going to do next week
for the Tag Match. I know the things that I’m going to work
on this week in the gym and in training and I know the
changes I’ll make and I’m not even going to tell you them
because I want you to point them out.
