While speaking to Fox News Digital in a new interview, Zelina looked bac on training in New Jersey, remarking that training with AJ Lee helped prepare her for 'Fighting With My Family'.

"I was training at the Ace Arena in Jersey for a while. Me and A.J. Lee actually trained together in Jersey and it also kind of helped me prepared for the role, if I’m going to be honest, in ‘Fighting with My Family’ to play her. It was just getting to know her then and applying that now and seeing it where it all kind of went down. But yeah, I spent a lot of time in New Jersey training and just that whole New York/New Jersey feel, it was just where I was constantly when I was coming."
