1
00:00:00,501 --> 00:00:02,591
- Being a WWE superstar
is a mindset.

2
00:00:02,669 --> 00:00:03,999
- It's about confidence.

3
00:00:04,087 --> 00:00:05,797
- Focus.
- Inner strength.

4
00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:09,261
- But to find that, we've all had to
overcome personal setbacks.

5
00:00:09,343 --> 00:00:12,013
- Now each of us is being paired
with a young woman...

6
00:00:12,095 --> 00:00:13,635
- Who'll take 10 weeks out of her life...

7
00:00:13,722 --> 00:00:15,892
- To transform herself
inside and out...

8
00:00:15,974 --> 00:00:17,684
- With the help of WWE.

9
00:00:17,768 --> 00:00:19,848
- These women aren't training
to become wrestlers.

10
00:00:19,937 --> 00:00:21,397
- They're here to push themselves...

11
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:22,730
- Refocus their energy...

12
00:00:22,814 --> 00:00:25,194
- And discover the inner confidence
they need...

13
00:00:25,275 --> 00:00:27,185
- To begin a new chapter in their lives.

14
00:00:30,155 --> 00:00:31,655
- I'm Stephanie McMahon,

15
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:34,910
chief brand officer of WWE.

16
00:00:34,993 --> 00:00:39,253
I have selected 10 special women
to go on this journey.

17
00:00:39,331 --> 00:00:42,211
This is Adriana's story.

18
00:00:44,294 --> 00:00:45,504
- Hello.

19
00:00:45,587 --> 00:00:48,547
My name's Adriana Bernabel.

20
00:00:48,632 --> 00:00:53,642
Growing up, my home was
very toxic and volatile.

21
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,350
When you're not shown
how to love properly...

22
00:00:58,141 --> 00:01:00,101
that really does something to you,

23
00:01:00,185 --> 00:01:02,685
especially growing up thinking
that you're not good enough

24
00:01:02,771 --> 00:01:05,441
and you're not thin enough,
you're not pretty enough.

25
00:01:05,524 --> 00:01:11,154
At the end of this journey,
I really want to love myself entirely.

26
00:01:11,238 --> 00:01:14,368
I really want to learn
how to do things the right way

27
00:01:14,449 --> 00:01:17,199
and then feel good about myself as well.

28
00:01:17,286 --> 00:01:19,996
- STEPHANIE: Adriana needs
to strengthen her self-esteem.

29
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:22,621
And who better to guide her there

30
00:01:22,708 --> 00:01:25,918
than one of the most powerful
superstars in WWE--

31
00:01:26,003 --> 00:01:27,503
Nia Jax?

32
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:29,668
- Hi!
- Hi.

33
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:31,006
- How are you doing? Is this real?

34
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:33,471
I didn't think I was gonna cry.
I'm not gonna cry.

35
00:01:33,552 --> 00:01:35,472
Oh, my God, look at this!
- Don't cry!

36
00:01:35,554 --> 00:01:38,274
- I'm not gonna cry.
- No, don't cry.

37
00:01:38,348 --> 00:01:40,848
Then you're gonna make me cry.
- Oh. Ah.

38
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:42,984
- Girl, don't cry.

There we go.
- Girl.

41
00:01:48,442 --> 00:01:51,072
So what's going on, huh?
What are you struggling with?

42
00:01:51,153 --> 00:01:53,323
- Um, self-image issues for sure.
- Okay.

43
00:01:53,405 --> 00:01:56,905
- Um, I was gonna get a butt job.

44
00:01:56,992 --> 00:01:57,992
- Oh.
- In Miami.

45
00:01:58,076 --> 00:02:01,036
- I come from a background
having, like, body image issues.

46
00:02:01,121 --> 00:02:03,421
- Yeah.
- And I don't think I've ever gone as far

47
00:02:03,498 --> 00:02:06,128
as to think that I would need
plastic surgery.

48
00:02:06,210 --> 00:02:08,000
- Yeah.
- What brings you there?

49
00:02:08,086 --> 00:02:11,466
- So before coming into college,
I was probably 30 pounds lighter.

50
00:02:11,548 --> 00:02:15,218
- Yeah.
- And, um, now it's just like,

51
00:02:15,302 --> 00:02:18,812
oh, my gosh, I don't recognize myself
when I look in the mirror.

52
00:02:18,889 --> 00:02:21,559
- Adriana,
she actually finds her self-worth

53
00:02:21,642 --> 00:02:26,362
more in the way she looks
instead of, uh, what's inside,

54
00:02:26,438 --> 00:02:29,188
and that's something
that I did growing up.

55
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:33,074
It's--It's--It's easy to do that
when you, you know, you're younger

56
00:02:33,153 --> 00:02:36,783
and you really--you don't know
what to do with how you're feeling.

57
00:02:36,865 --> 00:02:40,035
You immediately identify
with the way you look outside

58
00:02:40,118 --> 00:02:41,828
instead of trying
to fix what's inside.

59
00:02:41,912 --> 00:02:43,912
- Growing up, my mother and I--

60
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:47,077
It was kind of--our relationship,
like, we would really butt heads,

61
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:49,877
and we got into, like,
this big altercation.

62
00:02:49,962 --> 00:02:52,512
It was so bad. They called the cops,
and it was crazy

63
00:02:52,589 --> 00:02:55,219
'cause it was like, wow,
this is, like insane,

64
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:56,970
so I had to live with my best friend
for the week.

65
00:02:57,052 --> 00:02:58,052
- Wow. So you really--

66
00:02:58,136 --> 00:03:00,426
like, your relationship with your mom's
pretty broken.

67
00:03:00,514 --> 00:03:03,564
- Now--So the first year of college,
I didn't want to talk to her.

68
00:03:03,642 --> 00:03:05,352
Like I didn't want to talk to her at all.

69
00:03:05,435 --> 00:03:07,435
And it wasn't until my 21st birthday,

70
00:03:07,521 --> 00:03:09,981
like, that she actually apologized
for everything.

71
00:03:10,065 --> 00:03:13,605
Yeah, we still argue here and there,
but she doesn't get physical anymore.

72
00:03:13,694 --> 00:03:15,704
- Adriana has gone through some things,

73
00:03:15,779 --> 00:03:18,739
and it's been really rough on her
with her mother,

74
00:03:18,824 --> 00:03:21,624
but I do see such a spark in her eye.

75
00:03:21,702 --> 00:03:26,042
Once she finds what I see in her,
when she finds that in herself,

76
00:03:26,123 --> 00:03:28,333
then she's gonna be
completely unstoppable.

77
00:03:28,417 --> 00:03:31,337
Strong women don't take
that easy way out.

78
00:03:31,420 --> 00:03:35,420
Strong women take a big task head-on
and knock that bitch over.

79
00:03:35,507 --> 00:03:37,587
- Yep.
- That's what strong women do.

80
00:03:37,676 --> 00:03:38,756
- Yeah.
- That's what it means

81
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:40,304
to fight like a girl.
- Yeah.

82
00:03:40,387 --> 00:03:42,307
- Show your family. Show your mom.

83
00:03:42,389 --> 00:03:47,139
Show everybody, like,
nothing that happened to you defined you.

84
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:49,347
You created who you are.
- Yeah.

85
00:03:51,106 --> 00:03:53,776
- Good! Good! Right there, right--Good!

86
00:03:53,859 --> 00:03:56,529
- I have to stop caring
what other people think about me

87
00:03:56,612 --> 00:03:58,612
and stop listening
to those voices in my head

88

that "You're not good enough."

I'm just shocked
by the transformation.

106

What helped me was loving myself

let's think about that.
