The leadup to the match at Madison Square Garden was actually greatly individual for both, as Ryan had actually been actually dealing with Mayer’s former long time train Kay Koroma.

She claimed she felt something “wreck” in to her tummy, and then observed a male in a hoodie run to a cars and truck and repel. Ryan was uninjured and also continued to the venue after altering clothes in her hotels and resort room.She and her crew said to ESPN they felt it belonged to Mayer’s camp, a complaint Mayer has refuted.” Mikaela Mayer is going to get it,” Ryan mentioned before the battle. “It was definitely a setup from her team.
