Making her debut on the January 16, 2024, edition of NXT, Wren Sinclair now has almost two years of experience with WWE. The star came in off the back of building her name on the independent scene, having been most commonly known for her work in NWA, though her move to WWE’s developmental brand afforded her the opportunity to be seen by a much wider audience. Now, the 30-year-old has reflected on the nerves she felt when coming into NXT.
Speaking on the Battleground Podcast, Sinclair discussed being terrified when she joined the WWE system.
“I was terrified when I first came to NXT and I think it kind of showed a little bit. I was terrified but I was enamored and I was excited with everything that is WWE, because when you start off at a professional wrestling school, your goal is ultimately — most of us — is WWE. So to finally be, not only through the doors, but making an entrance on a live television show, it was like a pinch-me type moment. So when I walked out there, I think if you go and look back, I just have this dumb look on my face of just pure excitement, which I feel like most people who watched me prior aren’t used to, because I was just so calm, cool and collected. But, being in front of that crowd and knowing that there were the hundreds of thousands and millions that are gonna consume all this later, watch it at home or watch the replays, it was surreal, and I, again, just had a dumbfounded — so excited, this is what I worked for, and now it’s all finally paying off and here I am.”
