First, always set two alarms. We travel upwards of 250 days a year, and I can’t tell you how many times I have learned that the hard way.
I remember, one time, I was in New York City and we had to catch an early flight to London for a WWE European tour. I had to be up at 5 a.m. and relied on my phone alarm, which I accidentally set for 5 p.m. Naturally, I was sound asleep dreaming about cats and coffee when I was pulled from my blissful slumber by loud knocking on my door. It was Carmella, the current SmackDown Women’s Champion, frantically trying to wake me up.
I was in a complete panic! Had I just called the front desk and asked for a backup wakeup call to my room, I would have been OK, but instead I raced down to the tour bus.
I was so flustered and embarrassed I forgot my toiletry bag in the hotel. Lesson learned.
This next lesson has helped me weather nearly every storm in my life: Choose your battles wisely!
Trust me, it’s a skill worth mastering if you want to have longevity in your relationships and your career.
Working in WWE is fun, but very hectic. Every day is an exciting new adventure, but with that also comes the occasional conflict. Communication is key.
Personally, I choose to not sweat the small stuff and I never fight with anyone over issues that aren’t important. We can agree to disagree but if it’s something that’s not going to matter tomorrow, then let it go. It takes up too much of my precious energy, which I really need to perform to the best of my ability.
