Fallon Henley has change into a multi-time champion in WWE with a shiny future ahead, despite almost never pursuing a job with the corporate.<\/p>\n

During a recent edition of the \u201cWhat Do You Wanna\u2019 Talk About\u201d podcast, Henley recalled how deaths in her family nearly modified all the things. She said,<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, so it\u2019s form of crazy, form of happened out of nowhere. I even have twin sisters who aren’t any longer with us. The primary one passed in that yr, and that was right before I got the decision to do the additional work that began back up. That got me my third tryout before my enhancement match with Elektra.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a extremely hard time. Like I said, it form of got here out of nowhere. Essentially, all of her organs shut down. She got rushed to the hospital, and before we knew it, she was gone.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Her sister who passed left behind two daughters, who had already lost their father, leaving the family in a really difficult situation. She said,<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to be over in Tampa, and that\u2019s where they’d been living on the time. And the one options they really had were to go to Michigan to be with my mom, go to California to be with certainly one of my other sisters, or come and stick with me.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Henley, despite only being 22 on the time, brought the sisters to Tampa to assist raise them, but this made things difficult when WWE got here knocking. She said,<\/p>\n

\u201cSo after I got that decision to do the additional work, I mentally was not in a spot where I assumed I could do it. And I almost said no. And had I said no, I wouldn\u2019t be here straight away, I wouldn\u2019t be on SmackDown. I wouldn\u2019t be doing any of the things that I\u2019m doing.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Henley is a former WWE NXT Women\u2019s North American Champion and a former WWE Speed Women\u2019s Champion, now competing on SmackDown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
