Nixi XS was locked in.
Ahead of WWE WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, a mystery assailant attacked Bayley backstage, ultimately causing her to be removed from her scheduled WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match alongside Lyra Valkyria. In the initial aftermath, Valkyria, WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce, and two doctors immediately ran over to check on 'The Role Model.' Many independent wrestling fans instantly recognized one of the doctors as former WrestleMax Women's Champion Nixi XS.

WrestleZone's Ella Jay recently caught up with Nixi XS to learn more about her new role as a doctor.
'I did my part, I did my service. I played my role, I was there for her. Bayley, remember that,' Nixi said. 'I was there for you in your time of need. I supported you, I checked on you. That other doctor, I don't know if he knew what was going on, but I was there. I was locked in.'
According to Bayley, the biggest pain come from her shoulder, which Nixi and the other extra doctor quickly assessed. Follow-up reports indicated that Bayley's 'injury' was pre-planned and was merely for storyline purposes. A returning Becky Lynch took her place as Valkyria's tag team partner at WrestleMania 41 and subsequently revealed herself as the assailant behind the attack.
Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair Inspired Nixi XS To Start Training
In addition to paving the way for Nixi's appearance as an extra on WWE programming, Becky Lynch also motivated her to start her professional wrestling training. 'The Versace of Violence' found particular inspiration in Lynch's Last Woman Standing match against Charlotte Flair at WWE Evolution.

'I like really intense matches that have these emotional buildups to them,' Nixi said. 'The match itself is just this explosion of chaos and intensity, all this pent-up anger, and weapons get involved and crazy stuff happens. It's just built up that much. I love that emotional release in wrestling.
'That [was] maybe not the first time I ever saw the girls do something like that,' she continued, 'but I was fully invested in that story between Becky and Charlotte, their friendship turned jealous kind of situation, turned actually feuding with each other. Then building up to that Last Woman Standing Match, I was just so heavily invested in it. To see the girls going out there and doing something like that that had that level of intensity, just laying it all out there, was very much like 'Oh, the girls can do this too. Okay I want to do this too.''
At WWE Evolution, Lynch emerged as the last woman standing, and in doing so, retained her WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.

Kenzie Paige Highlights Which Match Is A Perfect Representation Of Who She Is
One of the faces of the National Wrestling Alliance is current NWA Women's World Champion Kenzie Paige. She has been holding on to the world title for over 600 days. Recently, Kenzie Paige was interviewed by WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard. During the interview, Paige shared that her match for the NWA Women's World Championship against the former champion Kamille is the perfect representation of who she is in the ring. Advertisement 'Kenzie Paige versus Kamille for the NWA Women's World Championship. Still holds up. Still has a very emotional attachment to me, obviously. But I feel like that's the perfect representation of, I can hit hard, I can pull at your heart strings. And I can play dirty if I have to. I feel like that one's a perfect example of who Kenzie Paige is.' Kenzie Paige on her 625+ days as NWA Women's World Champion and potentially beating Kamille's record During the same interview, Paige shared her thoughts on her long title reign. 'I feel like I'm not really too focused on the days that I have the championship. I just want to make sure that the days I do have it, it matters. And whenever my time does come and I'm not the NWA Women's Champion anymore, I want people to remember, 'Kenzie Paige, she did something with it. She did something for the NWA. Her being the champion was good for her but it was good for the NWA.' That's the kind of thing I want to focus on there.' Advertisement 'But I also feel like, a lot of my run with the NWA has been history, right? The youngest NWA Women's Champion, first Triple Crown, first NWA Television Women's Champion. Just a lot of things. First woman to own a territory within the National Wrestling Alliance. And the youngest of course. But that is a lot of my reign and run at the National Wrestling Alliance is based on the fact that I've made history over, and over, and over, and over.' Paige noted how her match against Natalya would be historical too, and for different reasons. 'I've just been trying to build up not only my name but the NWA. I'm trying to give back some of that prestige feeling and just… It matters to me, and I want it to matter to everybody else. So, being a part of the history, being in those historical matches, it does mean a lot to me. And I just want to keep doing that and keep growing it to what I know it can be.'
