Lena Yada Recalls 'Hitting It Off' With Victoria, 'I Felt At Home With Her, She Was Like A Sister'

Lena Yada recalls becoming friends with Victoria early on in her run with WWE.

Yada's run as an in-ring talent in WWE didn't last long, but that doesn't mean that she wasn't able to make some friends along the way.

Victoria is considered to be one of the best performers of her era, and as it turns out, she was one of the talents that Yada bonded with in the locker room.

While speaking to Ring The Belle for a recent interview, Yada noted that despite people warning her to stay clear of Victoria, she was able to bond with her quickly and become one of her travel buddies.

“Going into the women’s locker room, everyone said, beware of Victoria, she is not nice and she doesn’t like divas, just stay clear. Of course I’m walking in and the first person I see when I walk into the dressing room is Victoria. She’s like, ‘Hi, hi!’ I’m like, ‘Oh, okay okay.’ Off the bat we hit it off and it took me a couple of days to mention it to her but I told her that and she’s like, ‘What? I hear this a lot and I don’t feel like I am.’ Immediately I felt at home with her like she was a sister. We ended up being travel buddies on the road.”

Victoria last wrestled in January 2023, competing as Tara alongside Gisele Shaw in a bout against Jessicka and Taya Valkyrie.

Mickie James recently said that Victoria should be entrant into the WWE or IMPACT Hall Of Fame. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
