5. Big Swole Speaks

Dark's phenomenal Shanna package was followed by a great little interview with Big Swole, who crammed buckets of personality and charisma into her brief spotlight moment.

Unimpressed by Shanna's backstory, Swole shrugged it off, stating that everyone had worked hard to be there. She, for example, had fought Crohn's Disease and conquered death itself to get to the promotion, but the stories of how they reached the big time didn't matter. What's important is what happens next, and Swole has a "big personality and a swole mentality." "This right here is greatness," she said, flexing.

An extremely confident presence on the microphone, Swole came off well here. She instantly looked like one of the best talkers in the division and her diatribe helped add a new level to this last-minute build.
