- Being a WWE superstar is a mindset.
- It's about confidence.
- Focus. - Inner strength.
- But to find that, we've all had to overcome personal setbacks.
- Now each of us is being paired with a young woman...
- Who'll take 10 weeks out of her life...
- To transform herself inside the out...
- With the help of WWE.
- These women aren't training to become wrestlers.
- They're here to push themselves...
- Refocus their energy...
- And discover the inner confidence they need...
- To begin a new chapter in their lives.
- I'm Stephanie McMahon,
chief brand officer of WWE.
I have selected 10 special women to go on this journey.
This is Caprice's story.
- My name is Caprice.
I'm 28, and I'm from Dallas.
My dad, growing up, wasn't really there--
in and out of the house or in and out of jail.
My brother was incarcerated as soon as he turned 17.
Not having my brother around and then not having my dad around
was very emotional for me,
and then my husband, he left,
so I don't want to be hurt like that again.
- STEPHANIE: Before Caprice can build a loving relationship,
she has to learn to love herself.
- ANNOUNCER #1: Sasha Banks! Oh, God!
- ANNOUNCER #2: Oh, no! - ANNOUNCER #1: Oh, turn around!
- STEPHANIE: Today, Sasha Banks is a WWE superstar,
but, just like Caprice, she experienced abandonment as a child
and had to battle to regain her self-esteem.
- [ crowd cheering ]
- [ screaming ] - Hi.
How you doing? - Nice to meet you.
- What's your story? - I was married,
and we were together for about four or five years.
- Yeah. - And then he just slipped the script.
He left while I was at work.
The TV was gone, all his clothes. - Oh, my God.
- Girl, like, it was horrible. - He's mean, man.
And how did that affect you?
- Girl, it hurt so bad, 'cause it's like,
if you're in a relationship with someone and you love someone,
you supposedly care for someone...
- Yeah. - ...like, how can you just change...
- Right. - ...all of a sudden? Why?
- Yeah. "Was it something that I did? Is there something wrong with me?"
- And I'm like, okay, maybe it is me.
It's very difficult.
Whenever you're sitting here thinking about yourself in a negative light,
it's like, what could I have done to change?
- What would you want to change about yourself?
- Feeling whole within myself, versus having to, like, need someone.
- Right. - I think that comes from my father
not being there
and then feeling like I need extra love from him
and then kind of getting it but not getting it.
- Growing up, too, I never had a really--a father in my life.
He was always in and out.
He left when I was 5, and I have a brother with a disability,
so just my mom and me trying to take care of my brother.
- Yeah. - And we moved around a lot
- to try to get away and just find the right place for us
to feel like we're whole as a family. - Right.
- So I want to be your family... - Aw.
- ...and, you know, be there for you. - That's so sweet.
- Caprice is just trying to find confidence within herself.
You're fighting for it. Keep going. You've done amazing.
But I think, because of all her past struggles with men in her life,
she's scared to find it.
I didn't have confidence. I didn't have self-love,
and, you know, this journey that you're going on
is gonna have ups and down,
but, you know, I'm just here letting you know don't give up.
- Go!
Go! Come on. There we go.
- Starting off, I honestly didn't know what to expect.
- Uhh! - Light. Stay light.
- But I feel like I'm getting stronger emotionally, mentally, and physically.
- It's done. - Go!
- I've learned self-control. I've learned self-confidence.
What I'm starting to focus on is just me,
like what I can control,
how much weight I'm gonna lift, how many miles I'm gonna run,
what I can control, period.
I'm just trying to be a better me.
Like, if I can't live with me,
then who else gonna want to live with me? [ laughs ]

- ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, Caprice Alexis.
♪♪♪
- Just two months ago, I met a girl that didn't even have the confidence
to even be able to walk down the ramp.
- [ cheers and applause ] - Go, Caprice!
I'm so happy that her journey went so well,
that her transformation went incredible, and she looks amazing.
Holey moley, you look incredible, girl.
- [ audience members whoop ] You guys see the confidence?
That swag?
- This journey has been crazy,
but I made it. I'm here.
And... - That's right.
- ...without this moment of solitude and guidance,
honestly, I probably would have never learned how to self-nurture.
It was truly confirmation. - Yeah.
- Like, I don't have anything to prove to anyone but myself.
Like, that's it.
- Right.
Well, Caprice, I do have a special guest in the audience.
It's your ex-husband Charles.
Charles, you want to come up here?
- How are you, Charles? - I'm good.
- Good. - Um, it's great to see you.
You, uh, wow.
- Just to see him and him see me in all this glory,
it was everything.
- It's a lot, knowing everything that you've been through,
just to see you not letting nobody hold you back,
the world is yours.
- I appreciate it.
I tried so hard with you. [ chuckles ]
So hard, but I appreciate it,
for you showing up here in Florida to see me shine.
- [ laughs ] [ cheers and applause ]
- For Caprice to come out and to show him
that she is a boss, that she is confident,
and that she is glowing.
She is gonna be just fine,
and I think Chris realized that today
that he is missing out on something so special.
- Caprice, tell me about that moment with your ex-husband.
- I didn't expect to see him.
- You didn't think he was gonna show. - No.
I honestly didn't. So it was just kind of like he made it.
Wow. He's here. - Hmm.
- For me. And I was appreciative of that, of course,
but it was just like, well, now you see what consistency actually does.
- Hmm. And you found your voice. - Yes.
- The world is a better place with you in it.
I'm so proud of you. - Thank you.
