"I am proud to be an Asian like her!" Haha Miclena, you're too funny!

I'm glad WWE has a diva like her now, but she's probably not going to do much since WWE has become so.....awful, haha. I mean, she lost her championship match against Maryse. And she's yet to have won either belt since redebuting. I guess it's good that she;s going to be in this next PPV. Hopefully she'll start to get into better matches, and get some gold.
