“It’s certainly not the last time you’ll see me on television in a wrestling ring,” James said. “I’m far from done. When I retire, I want to retire the right way. That’s what we all hope for, right?”

On balancing her music and pro wrestling:

"It’s one of those things where you have to make time and work around your schedule. Coming from the WWE where I was on the road 200 to 250 days of the year and then crossing over to TNA where the schedule was much lighter gave me some time to work on the music. But it’s not easy cash, I will say that."
