When the wrestler was asked how he intends to promote women sports to the president. He responded:

 “I like what he has been doing in terms of unifying people. “My mom had a lot to do with the promotion of his campaign. “So I am just looking at going and having a conversation with him and I don’t know what we are going to talk about but if that comes up, I am sure he knows that promoting women sports is very important.”
