Sonya said, “I’ve gotten a lot of what I do from Stephanie [McMahon]. Looking back on the old Stephanie stuff, I think that is Vince’s kind of vision for me, a Stephanie-esque character. When I do get in the ring, it’s like yeah I […] get in the ring as an authority figure.”

“I will use my power how I see fit and how I can to my advantage and I’ll enjoy doing it because that’s how Steph does and that’s how Vince did. I’ve taken a lot of notes from both of their past work for sure.” (h/t Cultaholic)
