She reported to the WWE Performance Center on Monday. Her goal is to make the main roster within a year.

"I didn't want to end my career on that note," Mensah-Stock said. "So I did another world championships, I wiped the floor with everybody, and I was like, 'Man, this is not fun anymore. I need a change.' Something in the back of my head that's just been itching at me, a dream of mine for I don't know how long. I just wanted to be in the WWE. I love watching the athletes just in the ring, just going what they do best. I just see their personalities just shine through the television, and I see their strength. Just everything about them resembles me, and I've just wanted to be a part of that."

Mensah-Stock made an appearance at SummerSlam 2021 alongside Gable Steveson.

After her appearance, she made no secret of her WWE aspirations.
