The pair’s connection began years earlier through mutual respect and shared experiences within WWE, highlighting the gradual development of their bond rooted in friendship.
During an interview with Denise Salcedo, Vice explained that their friendship was strengthened by their common Latino heritage, which helped her admire Priest not only as a wrestler but also as a representation of Hispanic culture in WWE.
