Lash Legend discusses life before WWE, embarrassing moments, and more.
Currently, Lash Legend is one of the up-and-coming women's Superstars in WWE NXT. However, she has always had a knack for athleticism and competition.
Appearing on Up NXT on Snapchat, Legend reflected on her days as a competition cheerleader, noting that her most embarrassing moment stems from that time in her life.
Lash's Most Embarrassing Moment:
"So I don't know if a lot of you guys know, but I was a competition cheerleader. Not only was I a competition cheerleader, but I won Worlds in competition cheerleading. During that time, I had a big competition, and they wanted us to all look in unison, so we had our uniform, and our hair had to be in unison. So we wore ponytails that you add to your hair. You know, the extensions. I was doing my roundoff back handspring, back handspring, back handspring, just flipping, and on my second to last flip, that ponytail flipped up off my head right into the crowd and right in front of the judges. So that was lovely."
Legend eventually moved on to basketball and was drafted into the WNBA. Reflecting on that time in her career, she would say that it was a fantastic time in her life, and it allowed her to show glimpses of the passion she has now and her desire to bully those in her way.
"So obviously, I was drafted to the WNBA. Before then, I was an All-American in college. I played for Texas A&M and Mississippi State, and those [days] were an awesome time in my life. But I would say I was a power forward. If you didn't know, this is position three and four, small forward/power forward. During those times, technically, I was undersized in that sport. But what got me through is that I always had grit, desire, and a passion to want to outwork everybody, and just want to bully everybody like I do now."
Speaking of bullying, Legend also touched upon her and Jakara Jackson's ongoing rivalry with Yulisa Leon and Valentina Feroz. Recorded prior to their tag team match on the June 20 episode of WWE NXT, Legend gave a sneak peek into the future and a warning for anyone else that wants to get in the way of Meta-Four.
"First of all, fuck them hoes. Because if you trying to run up on me and Jakara, you gonna get done up. So we gonna see you real soon. Are we gonna get our lick back? Of course, we’re gonna get our lick back. What kind of question is that?”
They did indeed get their proverbial lick back as Jackson and Legend defeated Feroz and Leon on June 20.
