1
00:00:00,501 --> 00:00:02,591
- Being a WWE superstar
is a mindset.

2
00:00:02,669 --> 00:00:03,999
- It's about confidence.

3
00:00:04,087 --> 00:00:05,797
- Focus.
- Inner strength.

4
00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:09,261
- But to find that, we've all had to
overcome personal setbacks.

5
00:00:09,343 --> 00:00:12,013
- Now each of us is being paired
with a young woman...

6
00:00:12,095 --> 00:00:13,635
- Who'll take 10 weeks out of her life...

7
00:00:13,722 --> 00:00:15,892
- To transform herself
inside and out...

8
00:00:15,974 --> 00:00:17,684
- With the help of WWE.

9
00:00:17,768 --> 00:00:19,848
- These women aren't training
to become wrestlers.

10
00:00:19,937 --> 00:00:21,397
- They're here to push themselves...

11
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:22,730
- Refocus their energy...

12
00:00:22,814 --> 00:00:25,194
- And discover the inner confidence
they need...

13
00:00:25,275 --> 00:00:27,185
- To begin a new chapter in their lives.

14
00:00:30,155 --> 00:00:31,655
- I'm Stephanie McMahon,

15
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:34,910
chief brand officer of WWE.

16
00:00:34,993 --> 00:00:38,413
I have selected 10 special women
to go on this journey.

17
00:00:39,456 --> 00:00:41,956
This is Carly's story.

18
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,760
My name's Carly Cimino.
I'm 25 years old.

19
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,850
Growing up in my house was really
great when I was a child.

20
00:00:52,928 --> 00:00:57,348
It was me and my mom.
She was always like my security.

21
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:01,482
After my mom died, my dad moved,

22
00:01:01,562 --> 00:01:02,982
so he wasn't even in the house with me.

23
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:06,403
We have each other,
but I don't feel like we have each other.

24
00:01:06,483 --> 00:01:08,653
I was really suffering alone,

25
00:01:08,735 --> 00:01:11,195
and I just kind of like let myself go.

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,570
Believing myself went lower and lower
on the ladder.

27
00:01:13,657 --> 00:01:16,617
I didn't follow through with anything.

28
00:01:16,702 --> 00:01:19,502
I felt like a depressed chicken
without a head.

29
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:21,960
Like, I didn't know--
I didn't know what to do.

30
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,130
I still don't know what to do.
I can't picture the future.

31
00:01:25,377 --> 00:01:27,247
- SAMANTHA:
Carly's mother was her anchor.

32
00:01:27,337 --> 00:01:29,297
Without her, she's been adrift.

33
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:33,510
But WWE superstar twins
Nikki and Brie Bella

34
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:35,604
are ready to use
their own fighting spirit

35
00:01:35,679 --> 00:01:39,389
to help get her fired up
and moving forward again.

36
00:01:39,474 --> 00:01:42,234
- My sister and I have been so lucky
as to have each other

37
00:01:42,311 --> 00:01:44,151
and to really support each other

38
00:01:44,229 --> 00:01:46,229
and help build each other's
confidence and courage

39
00:01:46,315 --> 00:01:47,685
And we love the fact

40
00:01:47,774 --> 00:01:48,864
that we can support

41
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:50,492
other women like Carly.
- Yes.

42
00:01:50,569 --> 00:01:52,279
- Hi.
- Hi, baby!

43
00:01:52,362 --> 00:01:54,362
- You got us both.
- What the hell!

44
00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:59,866
Oh. Right now, uh,
I don't know where I'm at, you know?

45
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:01,663
I feel like I just wake up every day.

46
00:02:01,747 --> 00:02:02,747
- I sleep.
- Oh.

47
00:02:02,831 --> 00:02:05,421
- Right now I'm not working.
Like, I'm not doing anything.

48
00:02:05,501 --> 00:02:07,341
Like, I'm trapped in, like, a bad dream.

49
00:02:07,419 --> 00:02:09,919
- You know that one thing I love
about working out when you feel pain?

50
00:02:10,005 --> 00:02:14,005
You're conditioning your body in a way
to grow muscles and all that.

51
00:02:14,092 --> 00:02:15,642
- Yeah.
- But I always relate that

52
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:17,349
to pain I feel mentally.
- Yep.

53
00:02:17,429 --> 00:02:18,969
- So pain from death.

54
00:02:19,056 --> 00:02:21,846
You have to feel the pain.
You have to fight the pain.

55
00:02:21,934 --> 00:02:23,354
But once you get through the pain,

56
00:02:23,435 --> 00:02:25,435
all of a sudden
you're gonna become stronger.

57
00:02:25,521 --> 00:02:27,651
- My mom was awesome.

58
00:02:27,731 --> 00:02:32,071
I want to be the woman
that she thought I would be.

59
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:36,622
I just don't have her to push me,
and I don't hear her voice.

60
00:02:36,698 --> 00:02:39,158
You're right. Like, mentally,
I feel like this does help

61
00:02:39,243 --> 00:02:41,083
'cause it distracts you for a second.

62
00:02:41,161 --> 00:02:43,001
- It does.
- You, like, go for the fight.

63
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,500
- Right, and there's--
- Sweat is like tears, you know.

64
00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:47,502
- Yeah.
- I feel like it detoxes you

65
00:02:47,584 --> 00:02:49,214
not just physically but mentally.

66
00:02:49,294 --> 00:02:50,714
- Yeah.

67
00:02:50,796 --> 00:02:53,756
- Okay, Carly,
this is just the start of your journey.

68
00:02:53,841 --> 00:02:56,641
You're gonna have a lot of moments
where you're gonna want to give up.

69
00:02:56,718 --> 00:02:59,048
You're gonna feel really weak
and scared and stuff,

70
00:02:59,137 --> 00:03:02,387
but just find that inner strong woman.

71
00:03:02,474 --> 00:03:04,274
- I will imagine you
and my mom's face.

72
00:03:04,351 --> 00:03:06,191
- BOTH: Yes.
- I think that's enough of strength

73
00:03:06,270 --> 00:03:07,600
that could give me strength.
- Right?

74
00:03:07,688 --> 00:03:08,938
- I agree. Yes.
- 'Cause you have it there.

75
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:10,482
You really do.
- Thank you.

76
00:03:10,566 --> 00:03:13,936
- You can see that she just needed
someone to reach out to her

77
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:16,987
and just be like, "Okay, you need help,
and we're gonna do this."

78
00:03:18,991 --> 00:03:20,241
- And go!

79
00:03:20,325 --> 00:03:21,945
Here we go. Quick, quick!

80
00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:23,695
Move fast, move fast. Pump the arms.

81
00:03:23,787 --> 00:03:25,037
- Ooh!
[ shouting ]

82
00:03:25,122 --> 00:03:26,422
- Keep that core tight.

83
00:03:26,498 --> 00:03:29,498
- Doing cardio, weight training,

84
00:03:29,585 --> 00:03:31,165
I haven't done any of this in years.

85
00:03:31,253 --> 00:03:34,973
I didn't love it at first,
but it's growing on me.

86
00:03:36,675 --> 00:03:38,675
- Breathe.
- Bouncing off those ropes,

87
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,430
doing flips, I mean, I challenge my mind

88
00:03:41,513 --> 00:03:43,853
to do things that I never thought
I could physically do.

89
00:03:43,932 --> 00:03:45,812
- Here we go, here we go.
- But it wasn't easy,

90
00:03:45,893 --> 00:03:47,233
and it didn't come quick.

91
00:03:56,737 --> 00:03:58,817
- ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and gentlemen,

92
00:03:58,906 --> 00:04:01,906
Carly Cimino!

93
00:04:01,992 --> 00:04:04,162
[ cheers and applause ]

94
00:04:09,249 --> 00:04:11,079
- Yeah, Carly!

95
00:04:11,168 --> 00:04:13,498
That's a superstar, baby!

96
00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:16,167
- Before doing this, I was hoping

97
00:04:16,256 --> 00:04:19,336
that I would get a little happier,
maybe feel alive,

98
00:04:19,426 --> 00:04:21,716
but in these last 10 weeks,

99
00:04:21,803 --> 00:04:26,273
I have felt the best I've ever felt
in my entire life.

100
00:04:26,350 --> 00:04:28,270
- Yay! Give me a hug.

101
00:04:28,352 --> 00:04:29,772
- You did it!

102
00:04:31,021 --> 00:04:32,521
- I came here--
- Wow!

103
00:04:32,606 --> 00:04:34,816
- Look at you, mamacita.

104
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:36,400
- Like a disco queen.

105
00:04:36,485 --> 00:04:39,355
- Yes. You pulled out the guns.
- I did.

106
00:04:39,446 --> 00:04:41,236
- Can we see that again?
- Like, just one gun.

107
00:04:41,323 --> 00:04:43,583
- Whoa.
- Yeah, girl.

108
00:04:43,659 --> 00:04:46,499
- I never had an arm muscle
in my life, I don't think.

109
00:04:46,578 --> 00:04:47,578
- Whoa.
- Thank you.

110
00:04:47,663 --> 00:04:48,963
- So how do you feel?

111
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:51,249
- I mean, I was in a dark place,

112
00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:55,093
and I think that I was more depressed
than I even realized.

113
00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:56,840
- Mm-hmm.
- You know, I lost my mom

114
00:04:56,922 --> 00:04:58,802
a week after I graduated college.
- Yeah.

115
00:04:58,882 --> 00:05:02,052
- I mean, I don't think anything
can prepare anybody

116
00:05:02,135 --> 00:05:03,755
for anything like that,

117
00:05:03,846 --> 00:05:08,976
and I learned that I have to open up
in order to heal.

118
00:05:09,059 --> 00:05:10,059
That's everything.
- Yes.

119
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:12,353
- We have someone here.
So your dad came.

120
00:05:12,437 --> 00:05:14,687
- Your dad.
- Oh.

121
00:05:14,773 --> 00:05:16,823
- Come up, Dad.

122
00:05:18,318 --> 00:05:19,698
- Anybody seen my daughter?

123
00:05:19,778 --> 00:05:22,658
- I know, right?
How amazing does she look?

124
00:05:22,739 --> 00:05:24,239
Does she look amazing?

125
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:25,744
- I love you.

126
00:05:28,287 --> 00:05:30,327
10 weeks is a long time, man,
let me tell you.

127
00:05:30,414 --> 00:05:31,584
- I bet.
- Let's--Here, you...

128
00:05:31,665 --> 00:05:33,825
- Here, you come right here
in the middle. I'll give you...

129
00:05:33,917 --> 00:05:36,127
- I said I wasn't going to cry, but...

130
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:39,214
Um...[ sighs ]

131
00:05:39,298 --> 00:05:43,388
When you lose somebody
like my wife out of the family,

132
00:05:43,468 --> 00:05:45,388
we all lost the glue,

133
00:05:45,470 --> 00:05:48,100
and everybody reacted
and handled it in a different way,

134
00:05:48,182 --> 00:05:49,682
and we were all vulnerable.

135
00:05:49,766 --> 00:05:52,636
I was proud of you before this.

136
00:05:52,728 --> 00:05:56,228
Um, even more proud
that you stuck it out.

137
00:05:56,315 --> 00:05:58,065
I can't tell you how much I--
you know how much I love you.

138
00:05:58,150 --> 00:05:59,150
- Thank you.

[ applause ]

140
00:06:02,487 --> 00:06:04,737
- I think it's amazing
to see from the beginning

141
00:06:04,823 --> 00:06:08,373
someone who just held everything in
and wouldn't let the world in

142
00:06:08,452 --> 00:06:12,002
to now just be so open
and own her truth,

143
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,920
and I just--gives me goosebumps

144
00:06:13,999 --> 00:06:16,749
because, as a mom,
I know her mom is just smiling.

145
00:06:20,589 --> 00:06:23,129
- Wow. You look amazing.
- Thank you.

146
00:06:23,217 --> 00:06:25,137
- You really do.
- Thank you so much.

147
00:06:25,219 --> 00:06:27,179
I feel good. I do.
- Yeah?

148
00:06:27,262 --> 00:06:28,642
- It's weird.
- Yeah.

149
00:06:28,722 --> 00:06:32,562
- I don't think my dad's ever seen me
so confident.

150
00:06:32,643 --> 00:06:34,983
- Did he say anything?
- He apologized

151
00:06:35,062 --> 00:06:38,022
because he didn't realize
that he wasn't there for me

152
00:06:38,106 --> 00:06:40,146
as much as I wanted him to be.

153
00:06:40,234 --> 00:06:41,324
That was the first time
I've ever heard him say that,

154
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:44,201
so I just felt connected to my dad again.

155
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,319
It was really nice.

00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:47,315
- That's awesome.
- I don't know what I would have done

if this didn't happen, you know?

158
00:06:49,034 --> 00:06:51,794
It just forced me.
It forced me to face everything.
