I get so overwhelmed watching what she does. I just want her to succeed so badly, so I\u2019m way more nervous when she\u2019s doing something.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWatching her succeed, that makes me happy. That brings me joy. I love being a sense of energy to encourage her to go greater and reach for more. It makes me happy every time she succeeds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In terms of whether or not a singles run is on the table, Ford says not yet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The difference between singles wrestling and being part of a tag team is that all the attention is on you,\u201d Ford said. \u201cI\u2019m not ready to shift my focus yet.
