I have a very, very special guest. First, I want to mention, Good News York brought to you by ads on the go, get ads on the go.com. And you can follow us on all socials at Good News York. Good News York.com. New episode every Monday through Thursday at 5 p.m. And you can follow me on all socials at Mike B. TV. But who cares about me?

I am so excited. As you can see, I've got the WWE belts here. No, clearly I did not win a belt in the WWE. And I basically stole them from my kids' toy box. And there's a good reason. I am joined today by someone who was long considered one of the most talented women in the independent ranks. She first turned heads in WWE during the inaugural May Young Classic in 2017, and her true breakout moment, however, came in the following year's classic

when Meachin's gutsy performance in the quarterfinals earned chance of support from the WWE universe and their pleas did not go unanswered as WWE's C-O-O-T-H offered her an NXT contract right on the spot after the match. And she will be featured as one of the WWE superstars at the WWE live holiday tour right here in Syracuse at the upstate medical arena at the On Center on New Year's Day, 1-1-26,

the self-proclaimed blasian batty. Meachin! Hello! How are you? I'm good. How are you? That was a crazy intro. I appreciate that. You know what? About four sentences in, I went, this is a crazy.

intro. But I feel like it's, but you've done so much. Your story is so great. I thought you deserved an intro like that. Um, listen, uh, you, you have done so much in your career. I think you've wrestled in probably every circuit you could wrestle in. Um, but I want to start all the way on the West Coast. You were raised in L.A. and you went to high school and college in Virginia and during which that's when you started, I think at the age of 18, your professional wrestling training. So how did professional wrestling even come across your radar? And like, what made you want to trace, chase that dream and that career? I know you played volleyball in college and you're an athlete, but when was the moment that you thought, this is where I want to go? The funny thing is I've

always been a tomboy. So I was out, I don't know, since I was seven or eight out. We lived in a cul-de-sac. So I would play with the neighborhood kids, play football, street hockey, all the things. And as I got older, I wanted to play football. But I feel old to say this, but back in my day, they wouldn't let the girls play football with the guys. And so my dad watched wrestling, and I remember watching with him and seeing Lita in China wrestle the guys. And I was like, oh my gosh, I want to do that. That looks like so much fun. And growing up, I grew up on the attitude era.

So a lot of the times the divas at that point was mainly just doing like showcase matches, not very long matches. So then when I did see Lita and China getting in with the guys and just wrestling them like one of the guys, I knew that's exactly what I wanted to do. So that little seed has been planted since I was like maybe 10. Of course, I told my parents, I'm going to do that one day. And they're just like, yeah, okay, sure, whatever you say. And once I turned 18, I asked them if I could start wrestling.

Of course, they said no. So I went and signed myself up for training. I found the school that Mickey James started at in Virginia. So I started training there and I was balancing that in college at the same time. And so I got a scholarship for volleyball in college. So I would do during the volleyball season, I would focus just on volleyball. And then once that season was over, I would drive two hours to go train maybe twice, three times a week and then drive two hours back to campus. And then my parents were still against me wrestling because they still had the mindset of what wrestling was like growing up.

So they thought I was just going to be doing jelly matches, things like that. And so my dad pretty much just said, you can do whatever you want. I'll, you know, I will support whatever you want to do as long as you finish college first. Challenge accepted. So I pretty much kept up with my college, with the volleyball. And once I graduated, then I dove straight into wrestling pretty much full-time. I was still living in Virginia, but I was doing a lot of loops going to Philly and New York, New Jersey, Detroit. So I was just driving to all these places during the weekend and then working a 9-to-5 during the week.

And pretty much just started from the bottom and kept chipping away at every goal. So it was at first, because at that time it was still, you know, supermodels getting signed at WWE. And I'm just like, I don't think WWE is in the cards for me. So let me set a goal to do a tour in Japan. I do that. Okay. Let me see if I can do anything with TV like TNA back in the

the day. Okay, I did that. Okay. Let me see if I can do extra work for WWE and see if that's a thing. Did that. So every, I would just go from like one goal to the next until finally the big goal was, okay, you know what? I've done everything that I wanted to. Let me see if I can get signed to WBE. I did several, I did several tryouts and was told not right now. every time. So I was like, okay, I guess I'll just be doing extra work for WWE and it's cool. I got to work for WWE a little bit and I'm okay with that. And then kept doing extra work. They invited me to the May Young, did the first one, had a blast, and then the second one comes around and in my head, I think I just had it where I'm like, I'll just, you know,

I've done everything that I wanted to. I'm happy. with where I'm at. It's, I mean, if I ever got to WWE on a contract, that would be great, but I've done everything that I wanted to outside of that. So I'm just gonna go, have fun, wrestle my friends, have a moment in WWE and then go back to work on Monday. And so the second May Young, when the crowd chanted,

I remember, I remember with the cruiserweight tournament, I remember when that happened to Cedric. I was like, oh, that's so cool. And Cedric is my boy. So I'm like, oh, that's so cool. Like me and my friend, we get the same reaction. That's awesome. That's cool.

And then the injury happened with Tegan. So me, Candace, a lot of us was helping Tegan, just getting her stuff together. So I didn't even know Triple H went out to, you know, talk to the crowd or anything like that. So when he agreed to sign me, I wasn't there and I didn't hear about it until cameras were in my face and somebody came up to me. And in my head, I'm just like, well, I don't know what I did, but I'm about to get kicked out. Let me get my bags. And I guess, I guess this is it for me in WWE. And that's when Hunter comes out of nowhere. And he's like, he tells me what happened when he went out. And for maybe two minutes, I thought I would, I

I was dreaming or like it wasn't real. It was so surreal to me. So it was, it's something, it's a, it's a memory I'm going to have for the rest of my life. And it's something that I'm going to cherish because I always tell everybody, if it wasn't for the fans, I wouldn't be able to be doing this now. I want to be able to live my dream and accomplish the goal that I set out since I was 10. So I always am very thankful and grateful for the fans. Meechan, that's an amazing story. And you know, you couldn't see, obviously.

I just got goosebumps because, you know, when you're watching WWE, you don't know where the line crosses where is this completely scripted or is this a real moment? Because you do see a lot of emotions and injuries with performers and athletes on the show. So you basically telling us that you had no idea about the triple H thing makes it even more special. I mean, that's an incredible moment that not a lot of other wrestlers can say happen to them. Sometimes they find out by a phone call or, you know, in the creative meeting. So that's awesome. I do want to talk about the women's division because, you know, my daughter as well, she always said,

dad, I want to play football. I said, honey, you can play football. You know, and so it's it's role models like you that show her, you know, she can do anything she wants. But I want to touch, before we get into the women's division, I do want to touch on, you know, you talked about it a little bit. You've gone on record saying that your father was was very strict during your childhood due to his career. He served in the military before a career as an FBI special agent working in units for gangs and missing, exploited children and cyber operations. That is wildly impressive. I'm the son of a cop, just a police officer,

and that was intimidating for me and my friends sometimes. I can't imagine what that was like. Did his strict nature play a part in your development as an athlete and a wrestler? Very much so, very much so. Because even before volleyball, you know, I did taekwondo. I did several instruments. And every single time it was no matter what, do your heart is.

never quit. So that was something like it was very militant as well in a positive way. So always waking up early, making sure that the house was clean, making sure after school homework is done before anything else, like no screens until all the homework was done. No boys had to be home when the street lights came on. Like it was very strict, but I think because of that now it's easy for me to you know a lot of people i don't use um one alarm that's enough for me to get up and get my day started everything i do i have an itinerary for once i wake up i have an itinerary for the day to get everything that i need done early um so i have the rest of the day to just relax um but it also motivates me okay i got a you know even though i am with wwe

i'm living my dream at home i'm still working so i have to go to the gym okay i got to I got to make sure that I eat this, make sure that, you know, the bills are paid. Make sure pretty much it, my dad has helped me become the professional that I am now and to have that mentality of never quitting, even if they say no, to still pursue after the dream, no matter what anybody says. So I do think my dad in growing up the way that we did There are good parts and bad parts, but I appreciate every part because it shaped me to be who I am.

So well, so well said. Now I have a daughter, and I'm nowhere near the badass your dad is. Were you ever able to have a boyfriend? Was it even possible? Or were they just like terrified? Oh my gosh. Let me just tell you the scene in bad boys? Yes, that's the best scene.

When they answer the door? Has happened. No. It was just, how old was I? Oh my gosh. Sorry, Daddy for telling on you, but I think I was like maybe 10, 11. And our next door neighbor, at a crush on my next door neighbor, he was the same age as me, and he was having a birthday party.

So he wanted me and my sister to go to his birthday party. So he came to knock, he knocked on the door to ask my dad if it was okay, if we could just go to his birthday party. My dad opens the door just like bad boys. And I don't remember if I ever went to that birthday party. I think that's probably where you blacked out at that point. That's a, I love your father. My daughter happens to be 11 as well.

So I'm right there. I, and I would do the same thing. You have, you just talked about it too. You have an extensive background in Mai Tai and Taekwondo. When did that kind of, on the timeline, Where did that come about and or when did that come about? And do you incorporate it into your, into your pro wrestling career? So I did taekwondo when I was very, very little.

My dad, growing up in L.A., my dad wanted me and my sister to at least know something, just in case. I remember now that I'm older and me and my dad talk about it all the time, when I was younger, it was all confusing. but now being older, I understood that because of my dad's status and his position, me and my sister were targets just in case if anybody that he locked up got out, if they got to us, they got to him. So he was very nervous about us being by ourselves or like pretty much, yeah,

just not having him around. just the case that we got kidnapped because he's dealt with a lot of kidnapping cases as well. Sure. So he wanted, he wanted us to make sure that we at least knew something. So we were put into Tequando very young. I got to second degree black belt. And then that's when I started, I was old enough to start doing, like playing basketball and football and all the sports with the kids outside in the street. And then I didn't get into Muay Thai until I moved to Orlando, which was about like 2013.

So I did Muay Thai for a couple years just for fun. I never wanted to compete or anything. I just wanted to do it for fun. So I do incorporate a lot of leg movements, kicks, more of that style in my independence and in my current repertoire now. Because I trained pretty much, I trained in Japan, I trained, I did a little UK tour, like I trained in the UK. Like I did a lot of other different, I like to learn different styles.

So I'm kind of hybrid now where, you know, if I'm wrestling, Naya, okay, I can pull out my high flying and fitness or if I'm wrestling Candice and I'm going to pull out my my power moves. And then if I'm wrestling the Joshis, I'm going to pull out my kicks. So I'm able to change. It's a gentle cruising. You start to see the village, almost like a painting.

My style, depending on who my opponent is. Yeah, and I'm assuming it probably helps on the defense as well on how you can take a fall, on blocking things of that nature as well, right? Oh yeah. Techondo from their junk taught me

how to take a slam for sure. And by the way, thank you for saying moitai, because like a typical upstate New York white man, I was like, oh, it's my tie, like the drink. I didn't know it was moitoy. Moitai. Wildly impressive. So listen, the women's division has become such a huge part of the WWE. And it's grown so much over specifically like the last decade. But when you were starting out back in your day, as you said, which by the way is my day too, I feel you there.

It had not even come close to what it was today. So it was harder for females, you know, to have that path to the dream that you share with them. So what gave you the confidence that you could make it a career without it kind of seeming like an option at the time? And do you think the growth of the women's division was the reason you were able to do that? Like do you think and do you think they'll ever merge the men and women's together? Like you said when you saw men and women fight? So I remember watching Gail Kim. And at the time there wasn't a mixed female wrestler.

So I always attached to Gail Kim and Jazz. And seeing them both, I always believe that Gail began wrestling in the wrong generation because seeing both of them Being both of them, I attached to them because they were wrestlers. They were not, and they could be sexy if they wanted to, but they were wrestlers. And that's what I wanted to be because I'm no playboy model. I'm no cover girl or anything like that. So it was just cool to see athletes being showcased without having to be only highlighted

sexually. Yeah. So I think from the transition from back then to now, it's very, very cool to see that now it's a lot of my friends that I've wrestled in the independence with. And a lot of us, I remember at Shimmer, we would be talking about like, oh, it'll be so cool if we can make it into WWE one day. And to see that we're living that, it's just so cool to reminisce on because it's like, dang back in early 2000s or late 90s like we we would have never have made it because we weren't you know we weren't the types of women they would usually go for um and and the the one or two that they did like gail to me gail looks perfect she looks perfect yeah um But to see her, I could see the uncomfortability on her whenever they would have her do like a bikini contest or something.

And I knew that she was an athlete. And so I just feel lucky to be in this generation now where a lot of the people that I'm in WW with, I have a long history with in the independence. And even the new generation coming in, just telling them what it was like and the etiquette and the respect. aspect of it all and just how lucky we all are because of the sacrifices that people like Jazz and Gail and Lita and all of them have made for us. Because I don't think, like, AJ, she came from the independence and I remember talking to her about a month ago. And it was my first time.

We always missed paths, like, right when she was done with an indie company, and like I came in and then she got signed right after she worked for this company and I came in. So like I always missed her so I finally got to talk to her about a month ago and I told her that she was like she was the great indie dream because she was the one from the independence that got signed. And then there was Bailey who got signed and I spent some indie time with her as well and it's like this is cool to see that now we have a chance like now they're hiring independent girls. we have a chance. Oh, that's amazing.

Yeah. And you know what I love to? And it's not like the WWE said, oh, we should probably get with the times and start a women's division, and we'll just do a couple matches. I feel like they really do put in the same amount of energy into the writing and the performance

as they do in the men's division. And I think that's why it's been able to flourish. And by the way, speaking of Bailey, I loved her because I took my four-year-old son to his first show. We went to a house show here locally. And she grabbed him and gave him a high five and said, make sure this isn't your last show.

And he never forgot that. But anyway. That's not like Bailey. It's amazing. She's amazing. You were talking about jazz and Gail and Lita, which leads me to, I wanted to ask this. Did you have a specific female or even male idol that inspired you to chase this dream in the beginning? Like the one moment where you were like, I want to be.

that person. Mm-hmm. I remember seeing China first seeing her. I've never seen a woman like that before. And I was like, oh my gosh, that is goals right there. Because I always, growing up, I always made fun of because I was very, how do you say, like, hop heavy. My shoulders were always wide.

And so it was cool to see another woman with muscles like, oh my gosh, and that looks amazing. So seeing China wrestle the guys, Lita wrestle the guys, and then the rock, Stone Cold, Mankind, seeing mankind doing the hardcore stuff. I think they all layered in with like, one, it made me dive straight into the deep end of loving WWE, just because of the stories and the characters. But seeing the women, like China and Lita, actually wrestling the guys, I'm like, oh, yeah, this is exactly what I want to do. That's amazing. I actually remember, so I'm a little bit older than you.

I remember, did you ever see Luna Vashon? Mm-hmm. What always I loved about her, she stuck out to me, and I was a little kid. But what, you know, she had the shaved head with the veins that they painted on. And, you know, to go back to what you were saying earlier, you're right. Because, like, before that it was like there was Miss Elizabeth. And the storyline was always that she was macho man's girlfriend. and it was a love story.

Luna Vashon, I remember personally as like the first time where I was like, whoa, she's just a badass. Like, there's no love here. This is just about battle. I just, so I know what you mean when you see that and you go, oh my gosh, like a female that's badass. I want to be her. So a couple more questions.

I want to be, you know, obviously I want to be respectful of your time. I'm having too much fun. In 2016, I want to switch to this because I think this is, This really stood out to me and it's so important for people to hear and see. In 2016, you began publicly participating in awareness and advocacy after revealing that, you know, you were a survivor of domestic abuse. And this includes painting your left finger now on your ring finger for Safe Horizons campaign.

It's a hashtag put the nail in it. And your advocacy led to you being named one of BBC's 100 women in 2016, which I think is incredible. And that be, that may even be more important. than any of the wrestling accolades. Can you talk a little bit about your advocacy and the put the nail in it campaign and you know what it means to you?

They were, they, how do I say? During that time, I didn't, I've never been in that situation before and I didn't know as a female wrestler, the concern that I have is, and especially in the independence, I did a lot of intergender matches as well. So I was questioning me if this is what I signed up for or if this, how am I going to go about, one, getting out of a situation, but two, I didn't want to be silenced.

And I knew what motivated me to talk about it was I would talk to my other female. wrestling friends that also do intergender wrestling to ask them like, hey, like, if this happens in the ring, but then if it happens at home, like, what is that? And they would explain to me, you know, that's abuse and that they've been through it too. And it was just every single one of my girlfriends, they're like, oh yeah, that happened to me. It's just, you know, I don't, I don't want to talk about it or no one's ever going to believe us because, you know, we have muscles. or we wrestle men and all this other stuff. And I'm noticing a trend where it's a lot of my girlfriends are like,

oh, yeah, that happened to me too. And I'm like, this is not okay. So I wanted to talk about it. I didn't know how. And my good friend now, Brian, who worked at Safe Verizon at the time, started seeing, like reading in between the lines of my prize for help. So he reached out to me and was. very professional and pretty much gave me the guidelines on how to get out, how to heal,

how to talk about things publicly. So he's, he, I have a soft spot for Safe Horizon and Bride because he was the one to reach out to me and notice, he noticed the little things that I was tweeting and talking about and reached out. And I felt comfortable enough to talk to him about everything. And to this day, he's one of my closest friends. He's wrestling now, which is awesome. But it was just, it was something that I felt that I needed to talk about because it was just way too common in wrestling.

And it's difficult to navigate and being someone that did intergender wrestling, it's like, how am I supposed to talk about the difference between intergender wrestling and abuse at home. And the main thing, which Brian reiterated, is consent. Like, anytime I step foot in the ring, I'm consenting to wrestling. I'm not consenting to being choked in the kitchen, you know?

So that, I think it was, I was motivated by hearing everybody else's story and wanting to be the first step forward to my other friends being able to heal. And if they wanted to talk about it, they're welcome to talk about it too. But I wanted to let those that's too scared to talk or don't know how to talk to let them know

that they're not alone and that it's okay to talk about it and do what they can to get out. And there is help available. You gave- That was important for me. You gave me goosebumps again. I mean, that's real-life stuff. And I think, and obviously I'm not diminishing any of your career accolades,

but I think you and I both know that self-fulfillment-wise, I would imagine that must be so fulfilling for you to be able to have a platform to do this. And, you know, and thank God for your colleagues that kind of showed you like, hey, you're not alone. You know, maybe you wouldn't have been able to speak out, you know, because you would have been too afraid. And they showed you like, hey, I've been through it too. And now you're paying it forward and showing other women that,

it's okay and and I just want to thank you for that personally because I think it's amazing. And if you weren't amazing enough by the way, this was like a little, I don't know, tidbit got thrown in at the end. You are proficient in sign language. I probably not now. I haven't done it in a while so probably not now. Okay, because it said you've worked as a captionist for the deaf and heart of hearing and I think you were inspired by a former partner of yours that was hearing impaired or deaf. Can you talk a little bit about that? I think that's awesome. Thank you.

Yeah. I dated somebody from Gallaudet University, which is a deaf and heart of hearing school in D.C. My school played his school for volleyball, and that's how we met was at the volleyball games. And I knew no sign language. So for the first couple months, it was just like writing notes to each other. And then he started teaching me sign language, and then I picked up on it. And I spent a lot of time at Gallaudet. as well. So I was able to really be immersed into that lifestyle. So it helped me really understand.

And I picked up on ASL super, super quick just because I had to because I had several friends there. I had my ex-boyfriend at the time there. So to me, I'm like, I would rather learn your language than having to make you write notes all the time. Like, let me learn so it will be easier to communicate for everybody. So it's really cool. I still love Gallaudet. I love that there is a school for the death and hard of hearing in D.C. And I'm glad that I got to learn. A.S.L. would be a part of that culture.

Man, so you've got big muscles, but you have an even bigger heart. That's just amazing. I was going to ask you to sign something like a promo like, like Mike, you're the coolest host ever, but you're a little out of practice. So I won't make you do that. Okay, cool. I'm like, I can spell Mike. Okay. I'll take it. I'll take it. That's about it.

Again, just a couple more questions. Something that just came up while you were talking, I wanted to ask about. You know, there is an element of acting in the WWE. Was that something that came natural to you? Did you have to train or just kind of happened? So I'm a horrible actress. And I think that's the hardest part for me is the promos and the talking just because I can, listen, you tell me to fall on concrete, I could do that second nature. But the minute you put a mic in my hand, like, I grew up with stage fright.

I always gotten nervous doing presentations in school and stuff. So I'm working, I've been working on it and trying to get better. there's still a long way for me to get better at. Yeah, that's the hardest part for me. All right. Well, thank you, Meechen. On January 1st, that's New Year's Day, 2026.
