“I’m super excited,” Steele told Pakinomist Digital in a recent conversation. “I’m more patient. I just know in a timely manner, everything will take place, and when it rains, it pours. So I’m excited to just see what the future has and how the WWE universe will take my energy and everything I have to offer.”
Troy expressed that he was more eager to enter the ring and mix it up.
“I’m just more ready to see how the story takes place. For me it’s like expecting a movie to come out,” he explained. “I’m just waiting to play my role in that movie and see myself on screen. But the funniest part for me has just been the job we’ve put in since won. To be more behind the scenes again and I think it was just fun and go back to a feeling of trying to make it out of the bottom again.
“Because, you know, after I win the show, I was on this big high. I felt, ‘wow, everything is starting to change quickly. But everything just slowed down for a few months. I was like, this is another test, this is another trial that I have to get through. The moment I come out, it’s like a new debut and new beginning. The next chapter is very exciting to me.”
Steele, whose real name is Tamyra Mensah storage, comes in with an audience a little more familiar with her.
She is world champion Freestyle Wrestler, who won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. She also won two gold medals at the World Cup, a gold medal at Pan American Games, three gold medals at the Pan American Championships and three gold medals at the Golden Grand Prix Ivan Yaryigin.
She put the NXT dressing room on warning as her debut weaves.

“My hard work is different from dang-close all together. I’m an Olympic gold medal, not many people can say that,” she said. “It’s a standard that not many people can accomplish. It’s an Olympic standard. For anyone who’s going to see me getting into the guard plan, they need to know they have to understand that Tyra Mae Steele is coming to this list of an Olympic Standard.
“And I want to flatten everyone who will stand in my way of my way. This is a standard that not many people can live up to. And I see some people relax – it just makes me hungry.”
Steele said she continues to hear that NXT Women’s division is “the hottest list of the fact that there is” and promised to make sure it stays so.
“When I enter the building as I enter the ring with someone, they will go,” oh, my gosh, she didn’t cry about the Olympic standard, “she said.” They’ll feel it and they’ll love it and they’ll appreciate it. And if they do not appreciate it, they are quite sure to respect it. “
Troy, whose real name is Antoine Frazer, joined WWE as a recruiter almost three years ago. He played college football in Northern Iowa, Kansas and Rhode Island.

He praised the talent on the gentlemen’s list for when he first entered the business.
“When I came in, the dressing room was not so much different, but there was a noticeable amount of talent,” he told Pakinomist Digital. “And when I looked up, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, like, where do I fit in?’ When Bron Breaks were here regularly, Carmelo Hayes, Ilja Dragunov, it was hard.
“They would appear. It was almost as if they were competing to see who should have the best achievement at night. Every coconut (show type) I went until I saw at least five or six matches for main events that could have been promoted.”
He added that he brings the “same mentality.”
“I’m ready to compete,” Troy said. “I’m ready to move. I’m ready to mix the deck of players myself. I don’t come in to join or just shelf. I come in to contribute. I come in to be a factor in this. They have to deal with what to deal with.”
