Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre discuss their spooky vignettes.
Dawn made her NXT debut by attacking Fyre, and the two stars had a heated feud over the course of the next several weeks. Fyre scored a major win when she beat Dawn in an Extreme Resolution match on the January 3 episode of WWE NXT. The two stars then gradually joined forces, and they won the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship by defeating Fallon Henley and Kiana James at NXT Stand & Deliver.
Speaking with Rick Ucchino for Cageside Seats, Dawn and Fyre were asked about the process of putting together their vignettes, which often feature dark and spooky elements, and Fyre stated that they're having fun taking things from different sources of inspiration.
"We’re just having fun with it. We’re seeing different things from, not just like one movie or anything, but different aspects of mythology and sometimes religion as well. And it’s just throwing it at the wall and seeing what sticks and, as you said, we are having fun. So, I really do think that’s translating," Fyre said.
Dawn emphasized that they're trying to see what entertains them and what they enjoy doing, and if it successfully translates, it's a perfect situation because they're having fun.
When asked whether they ad-lib, use bullet points, or rely on a script, Fyre stated that it depends, as they have to get more of the story down on paper sometimes. She pointed out that there are times when they just use bullet points, but it depends on the situation. Fyre described how she prefers to have a relatively solid idea of what they're going to say for a promo in front of a live crowd.
“It just depends. Sometimes we have a wee bit more of a think about it and get more on paper. Sometimes it’s just like bullet points and we’re like, right, this is what we want to hit. But it really just, again, depends on the situation. If I’m gonna do a live promo on NXT, I prefer to have a wee bit more of an idea of what we’re saying rather than just bullet points. Some people are the opposite, some people just like their bullet points and like to ramble," Fyre said.
Dawn responded by noting that they have a hand in what they're doing; she called it their baby, and she noted that everyone trusts them with it. She stated that it's all natural, so the promos happen naturally, and it works.
“I feel like as well, everything we’re doing because we’ve got so much of a hand in it and it’s so much of our baby and our stuff, like we’re trusted by everybody above and there’s like a good level of communication with everything. It’s all really natural. So, it just happens and it works," Dawn said.
