Michin Originally Thought She Was Being ‘Kicked Out’ When She Was Approached To Sign With WWE Following Second Mae Young Classic Appearance

Michin reflects on how she was signed to WWE following her second Mae Young Classic appearance.

Prior to signing with WWE for the first time, the former TNA star would feature as part of both iterations of the Mae Young Classic, being signed after her second appearance.

While speaking to Good News York, Michin reflected on how she was signed to WWE, noting that she initially believed she was being ‘kicked out’ following her second Mae Young Classic appearance.

“They invited me to the Mae Young (Classic), did the first one, had a blast. Then the second one comes around, and in my head, I think I just had it where I’m like, I’ve done everything that I wanted to. I’m happy with where I’m at. I mean, if I ever got to WWE on a contract, that’d be great. But I’ve done everything that I wanted to outside of that. So I’m just gonna go, have fun, wrestle my friends, have a moment in WWE, and then go back to work on Monday. So the second Mae Young, when the crowd chanted, I remember with the cruiserweight tournament, I remember when that happened to Cedric. I was like, ‘oh, that’s so cool.’ Cedric is my boy. So I’m like, ‘oh, that’s so cool. Like me and my friend, we get the same reaction. That’s awesome. That’s cool.,’ and then the injury happened with Tegan. So me, Candace, a lot of us was helping Tegan just getting her stuff together. So I didn’t even know Triple H went out to, you know, talk to the crowd or anything like that. So when when he agreed to sign me, I wasn’t there and I didn’t hear about it until cameras were in my face, and somebody came up to me and in my head, I’m just like, well, I don’t know what I did, but I’m about to get kicked out. Let me get my bags and I guess this is it for me and WWE. That’s when Hunter comes out of nowhere and he tells me what happened when he went out, and for maybe two minutes, I legit thought I was dreaming or like, it wasn’t real. It was so surreal to me. So it’s a memory I’m going to have for the rest of my life, and it’s something that I’m going to cherish because I always tell everybody, if it wasn’t for the fans, I wouldn’t be able to be doing this now. I wouldn’t be able to live my dream and accomplish the goal that I set out since I was 10. So I always am very thankful and grateful for the fans.”
