Kana Comments on Signing With WWE, Who She Wants to Work With

World Wrestling Entertainment confirmed on Monday evening that Japanese sensation Kana was making her way to the company. This news was reported several weeks ago, but was only being acknowledged by WWE now.

Kana was recently interviewed by Brian Fritz of SportingNews.com, discussing her decision to sign, who she would like to compete against, as well as her thoughts on Triple H.

Here are some of the highlights:

Q: First of all, congratulations on your signing with WWE. Why is now the right time for you in your career to make this decision?

KANA: I have been in this business for 10 years and have accomplished almost everything there is to accomplish. I was looking for a new challenge and when the opportunity came up with WWE, the timing just felt right.

Q: We’ve seen the women in NXT become a focal point of the group with Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and now champion Bayley. What are your thoughts about those women and female wrestling in NXT?

KANA: It has been very inspirational watching the Divas Revolution unfold over the past year or so. They are great competitors, and I am looking forward to getting in the ring with all of them eventually.

Q: I mentioned some of the talented women in the company. Is there any one or two in particular you look forward to getting in the ring with and why?

KANA: After witnessing Bayley win the NXT Divas Championship at NXT: TakeOver in Brooklyn, I knew she was somebody I would want to compete with. I want to be Divas Champion, so she is an obvious answer. I also have a tremendous amount of respect for Charlotte, and would love to get in the ring with her eventually also.

Q: What is your relationship with Triple H (Paul Levesque) and what did he say to you about joining the company and how he envisions you fitting in?

KANA: He has been my favorite WWE Superstar of all time, so it has been amazing to interact with him and get his feedback. He told me he was expecting a lot from me, and I want to make him proud.
