“For the past several years, Peyton has not just been one of the faces of Life University women’s wrestling program, but of women’s collegiate wrestling,” Life University coach Ashley Flavin told FloSports.com in January 2023. “She’s a high-performance athlete who is fun to watch and cheer on, not just because of her skill on the mat, but because of her personality.  She’s fun, energetic, playful, caring, and joyful, but extremely focused and competitive when it’s time to work. We are thrilled for Peyton to have this partnership with WWE and excited to have a whole new group of fans opened up to her, our team, and the sport. The WWE could not have picked a better athlete for this opportunity.”
