FIGHT LIKE A GIRL
- I'm Stephanie McMahon,
chief brand officer of WWE.
I have selected 10 special women to go on this journey.
This is Rachel's story.
- I'm Rachel. I'm 29 years old,
and I'm currently living in Atlanta, Georgia.
As a child, I was always overweight.
I hated myself.
My father was a huge addict.
That led me into my spiral.
I got a major drug addiction so bad
that I almost died twice.
- Rachel needs to find her self-love so she can move forward with her life.
- Becky Lynch off the second rope, drop--
- Becky "The Man" Lynch dominates in the ring.
- Kick her! "The Man"!
- But before she was adored by crowds around the world,
THE MAN she struggled with her own self-esteem.
WWE HEADQUARTERS
DAY 1 TRAINING BEGINS
- Finding confidence isn't something that happens overnight.
But if you keep taking those tiny steps,
then you keep building up that confidence,
and one day you wake up,
and you don't recognize just how much you've grown.
- Were you bullied when you were young? - Yes.
- Yeah. Same.
- Really? - Yeah.
- I was always a bigger girl, and my last name is Patti.
- Okay. - So the funny thing was "Fatti Patti."
- God. Assholes.
- All my friends wrote, "Becky's got a belly like a sack of potatoes"
when I was younger.
- Bullying is a really hard thing for me,
and I was being bullied, and I didn't want to feel the hurt and pain,
so I would do that in turn to other people.
- I've hurt a lot of people. - Okay.
- I've forgiven those people. They've forgiven me.
- Yeah. - But, like, I don't know.
For some reason I just harbor... - You haven't forgiven yourself.
- Yeah. - I--Man,
I've been through a lot of the same stuff, you know?
I see myself in her a lot. Both had guilt.
That just holds you back,
and my God, did it hold me back for years and years.
Keep that posture. Kind of like you're sitting back in a chair.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
So tell me, who do you want to prove yourself to?
- My fiancé knows I can do it.
My mother knows I can do it.
They deserve to see positive change. - Yeah.
Keep pushing. You've got it in you. You're not physically struggling.
I can see it. I can see you've got that strength.
You're mentally struggling. This is where we build the power--
in our brains, and then our body does what we say it will do.
Beautiful. Done.
TEN WEEK JOURNEY
- Move! - Through this journey,
I want to accomplish confidence. - 10 seconds. Here we go. Here we go.
- I'm ready to step into the next chapter of my life.
- Go, Rachel! Push, push!
- I never thought I'd say this, but working out is such a natural high.
- Come on. - You ready?
Go! - I'm starting to really enjoy it.
- No! - This is a great starting off point
to change my life. - Pump your legs! Pump your legs!
I miss my fiancé. I miss my cat.
I'm tired. I'm so tired.
Jesus. - Let it go.
But I can't have the fear hold me back.
- Arch your back. Back. Come through. Good.
- And I hope every single day is a little bit more love for myself
'cause I deserve to love myself.
- Nice work. - Thank you so much.
REVEAL DAY
WWE PERFORMANCE CENTER
RACHEL'S FIANCÉ - Ladies and gentlemen,
Rachel Patti!
- Yes! Yes!
I'm on fire, and I feel it.
- Watching Rachel come down the ramp,
the confidence that she exudes,
just owning the place like nobody's business.
- Yes, dog, yes!
- You can't take your eyes off her.
She's put in the work, and you can tell. It shows.
- My God. What an entrance.
You look incredible. Your energy is incredible.
You are owning this room.
- Yes!
On my journey, I learned it's not about how hard you can hit.
It's about how hard you get hit for keep moving forward.
- Let it go, Rachel!
- Yes!
- And I move forward 30 pounds lighter.
And with the luckiest fiancé in the world.
- Yeah.
- Yes. Yes. - Yeah.
Because I am now undefinable, undeniable, and unstoppable.
- Yes, girl!
- Yes. Yes. Yes.
Oh, we're not done. I've got--
I've got one person over here that you haven't seen in a little while.
It's your fiancé Christian.
- One of the most important things is who you surround yourself with,
and you could just tell the pride in his eyes,
how impressed he is with her.
- This is what a champion looks like.
- She just exudes confidence,
and there is no way, when you feel like that,
you want to go back to not feeling like that.
I've no doubts about what she's gonna do in the future.
She's gonna do great things.
SEND OFF
BEING PREPARED - You've lost 30 pounds?
- I'm so strong.
My, like, waist has gotten smaller, and I feel so good,
and I know it's not about weight loss,
but there's just like a confidence of loving myself now and...
- And what did your fiancé think?
- He was stunned.
Thought I was the hottest thing in the world.
And he probably did before. You just didn't realize.
- Absolutely. Absolutely. I didn't want to hear it.
But he sees confidence.
- And confidence is one of the most attractive qualities that there is.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Keep your eye on the sky
