In a recent interview with WWE Espanol, WWE NXT superstar Zoey Stark discussed her return from injury during Tuesday’s episode, as well as her winning a Battle Royal to become the #1 Contender for the WWE NXT Women’s Championship.

“You know, I’m still on a high right now from Tuesday, it’s such a surreal moment, that’s a moment I’ll never forget for the rest of my life, I was not expecting the WWE Universe to react in that way, so when they did, that meant the world to me, I mean it was amazing.

My physical therapist, she just sent me a video of how the crowd reacted and it’s so crazy to see the fans reacted that way to me, so mind-blowing, so it was amazing. I was sitting in Gorilla right before I went out and I’m just sitting there taping my foot, so nervous, and then as soon as the music hit and they went crazy, I couldn’t hold it anymore, so i just rushed out there and I was like, oh this feels so good to be back.

I’ve been gone for eight months and I only had two matches in NXT 2.0, black and gold I have had several, but 2.0 since the change, I’ve only had two, so it’s a whole different vibe, whole new crowd, whole new feeling to everything, so for me, I wasn’t sure if they would remember me or not to be completely honest, so as I’m sitting back there, I’m like all right, this is going to go one of two ways, one way is that they are going to be like, oh okay, or they’re going to remember me from eight months ago, which was amazing really, it’s everything that I’d ever hoped for, so I was nervous about that, that’s why I got so excited and rushed out there as soon as I heard them going, so I just fed off of the fans.”
