Heather Monroe from WWE Raw to The Roman Show
Fresh off her appearance on Monday Night RAW, indie wrestler Heather Monroe spoke to The Roman Show about her experience and her motivation to become a professional wrestler.
Monroe recently debuted on Monday Night Raw against WWE powerhouse Nia Jax.
“It was a dream,” she said. “That’s where I want to be. Getting a taste of the experience was awesome.”
In the interview, she discussed how the opportunity came to life.
“I was at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and they were looking for someone, and I showed them what I was capable of, and they picked me,” she said. “[Nia Jax’s] a beast. She’s rough. It was a good experience, but I was sore the next day.”
She said she didn’t have that much time to speak to the superstars in the locker room.
“I spoke to some people, and they gave me some pointers but not much,” she said.
Initially, Monroe wanted to be an actor.
“I wanted to be an actor,” she said, “but I didn’t like it. I wasn’t motivated to hustle and grind. I always wanted to be a pro wrestler. I looked at Santino Brothers Wrestling in Los Angeles, and I realized where I wanted to be. The athletic part and acting part of it got me more opportunities. It has been rewarding.”
She said she dealt with challenges along the way but her mind and heart were on one goal.
“The whole thing is you have to be mentally and physically prepared,” she said. “There were times during my training that it got hard, and I contemplated if I really wanted this, but the answer was ‘Yes’.”
