Everything was worth it. All the trials, the tribulations, the ups and the downs. Every single thing was so worth it. This is proof to every little girl out there that no matter what you tell yourself, no matter what doubts there are in your mind, it can happen. You can become the NXT Women’s Champion," Perez said,
