Hi.
[CHEERING]
John?
Audience is fired up.
I'm fired up.
It's very nice to meet you.
Welcome.
It's so nice to meet you.
Thank you for being here
I saw you at the Kids' Choice Awards, when you were hosting.
Ugh.
And you did so good.
No, you were amazing.
It's a rowdy audience.
Kids' Choice Awards it's a rowdy audience.
You did so good.
And my daughter, she's like a tough critic, she loved it.
Thank you very much.
And I recently heard that you've become a WWE fan?
Yes.
This is near and dear to my heart.
Yes.
I know all about you.
Oh.
I know all about you.
So Steve, my boyfriend, is a huge wrestling fan
and he got me like so into it So much that I
watched Wrestlemania by myself.
He wasn't even in town and I watched Wrestlemania
because I was like, I had to know if Becky Lynch was
going to beat Ronda Rousey.
And I was like--
I was by myself.
I ordered it, which by the way, I didn't need to order it,
but I ordered it.
And I was sitting here like texting like,
"Do you know what's happening?"
This made my day.
[LAUGHTER]
Not, not-- I mean, selfishly because I really do
love what I do.
And that's a picture of me jumping into someone's arms.
And that's someone being like, "No!
Don't jump."
I don't understand.
"I didn't tell you to jump."
I mean, it's crazy.
What I think is really special about this is
why you ordered Wrestlemania.
I love WWE and it's what I've dedicated my life to.
But you said you wanted to see if Becky Lynch could
beat Ronda Rousey.
And for the first time in the 35-year history
of Wrestlemania, women were able to be
the main event, the main attraction at Wrestlemania.
[APPLAUSE]
Which is historically unbelievable
and an extra special.
But to hear someone say, you know what,
like I bought it because I had to see
if Becky was going to win.
I had to.
I had to know.
That is awesome.
Shout out to all our star women in WWE--
Yeah.
Truly.
--keep doing your thing because you're
doing some special stuff.
[APPLAUSE]
That's so true.
That's such a good point.
I was hooked.
Me too.
I was hooked.
It's been a male-focused industry for a long time,
and there's been a huge paradigm shift in the past few years
and now we've got people like you watching.
That's what I hear.
Now you've got me watching Wrestlemania, on my own,
wanting to know what's going on.
So maybe one day--
I mean--
I mean, you've danced, you've kind of done it.
I don't think-- I am absolutely not that tough.
Like never.
Neither am I.
I saw that jump.
But you are tough, though, because I
want to talk about a picture you posted.
Yeah.
You posted a picture--
like you tried to certain recovery method.
Oh, yes.
OK.
Have you ever tried this, cupping?
I look at that picture and I think, uh, hell no.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
They didn't tell me I was going to-- so I'll try anything.
I like alternative body hacks, all this sort of stuff.
And I woke up and my rib was just out of place.
It was just weird.
It was like the most painful thing.
So I was in Chicago and I Yelped, I literally was like,
"body worker nearby."
And I went to this woman, she's like, "How about cupping?"
Oh, sure.
I'd never done it.
That was on for about 10 days.
They're like giant hickeys that don't go away for 10 days.
[LAUGHTER]
So your rib hurts, someone gives you a boatload
of hickeys on your back--
Yeah.
--and then your back hurts so your rib doesn't hurt anymore?
[LAUGHTER]
Basically they just change the--
Change the pain.
Change the pain, so then you're handling
it a little bit better.
That's pretty intense.
I also want to get into something that I really
do enjoy talking about.
Yes.
You have a book coming out.
Yes.
And I want you to tell me about this because the subject
matter is very close to me.
Right.
Yes I do.
I wrote a book, never thought I'd write a book.
It's called Graceful You.
It'll be coming out.
And it's kind of a combination of a lot of things,
but it's no secret I had a very intense year
and a lot of change.
And so there are certain very--
I would say hippie.
I'm a hippie at heart.
I'm sort of a seeker.
So now, what does that mean?
It means that I sort of like to do practices and rituals
and things that sort of connect me to something
greater than myself, bigger than myself.
And so for that I used a lot of those sort of techniques
and things like that to help me through change in crazy years.
So there's a lot of personal stories.
It's like, you know, a lot that I go into.
And then there's also sort of rituals and my hippie side
that I put in there.
I mean, so much--
I mean, I've went to Peru.
I lived there for two weeks and with this tribe.
And I've always been that type of person.
So I kind of put it all together in this book.
And there's poetry, there's some funny stories,
there's a lot about dance.
And it was really cathartic and actually fun to write this.
I'm super happy you did this because entertainment
is usually shown in a very--
it's an entertaining life.
It's supposed to make you guys laugh,
it's supposed to make you smile.
Everybody, you guys in the stands, you guys
behind the cameras, we all have ups and downs.
Yeah.
And I love reading material like this
where someone is brave enough to share their journey.
Yes.
And I can't wait to read it.
And I know I'll find a nugget, or hopefully a few things,
that I can take away from it.
So thank you for helping me.
Well, I'll send it to you.
I appreciate it.
You can read it.
That will be awesome.
I think it's a great thing.
Thank you.
And Jenna's new book is available for preorder
right now.
