All language subtitles for Fight Like A Girl - EP-04 - Alexa Bliss And Holly

- Being a WWE superstar
is a mindset.

- It's about confidence.

- Focus.
- Inner strength.

- But to find that, we've all had to
overcome personal setbacks.

- Now each of us is being paired
with a young woman...

- Who'll take 10
weeks out of her life...

- To transform herself
inside and out...

- With the help of WWE.

- These women aren't training
to become wrestlers.

- They're here to push themselves...

- Refocus their energy...

- And discover the inner confidence
they need...

- To begin a
new chapter in their lives.

- I'm Stephanie McMahon,

chief brand officer of WWE.

I have selected 10 special women
to go on this journey.

This is Holly's story.

- Hey, yo.

My name is Holly Jackson.
I'm 24 years old.

I have an eating disorder.

I've never until now really been able
to talk to anybody about it.

My household was very unstable
growing up.

We had a lot of drugs,
a lot of violence.

I developed an eating disorder

because there was no other part
of my life I could control,

so I took it out on myself,
and I just--just wouldn't eat.

I really, really am in a place
where, like, if I don't change it,

I'm scared that I will die because...

I just--I can't keep going
down to 80-something pounds.

I'm, like, three steps away
from a statistic, to be honest,

and I don't want that to be me.

- STEPHANIE: To overcome her anorexia,

Holly will need help
from someone who has been there.

- [ crowd cheering ]

- Nowadays you can see Alexa Bliss

take on some of the world's
toughest women in the ring.

But before she was a WWE superstar,

she fought to be seen at all.

- People tend to see you
for your issues

and what you're going through,
not who you are.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- So I know that feeling
of walking into a room

and people saw anorexia.
They didn't see Alexa.

- Who's a superstar?
- I am.

- Believe it.
- I am.

- Now who are you gonna
do that for?

- A little girl with an eating disorder.

My mom.

My relationship with my mom
was very affected

because of the fact that, like,
she couldn't protect me.

I had a lot of bitterness
and anger towards her

because I felt, as a mother,

it was her job to, like, make sure
none of that happened.

I'm gonna be better, do better,
and be super.

I want to do better for my mom
to see that she can do better.

I don't want to be seen as anorexic.

- That's how people looked at me.

- Everywhere I touch, it's just bone.

Like, I'm always cold.

Headaches all the time.

- I, too, struggled with eating disorders,

um, for a very long period.

My mother had an eating disorder.

My grandmother had an eating disorder.

So I was kind of put in that path
as well,

and for me it was--

breaking the cycle was
choosing to help myself.

- I'm still in the process, like,
of getting out of mine.

- Yeah.
- So I went down to, like, 85 pounds, 83.

- That's how I was.
- Right now I'm, like, 97.

I used to weigh, like, 117, and...

- Come here.

[ sniffles ]

- I don't know.

People, they think it's easy.
"Oh, just eat," you know?

Like, "Just go eat something."

It's like I wish I could eat something.

I wish I could eat a burger when I want
without throwing it up.

- It's a process.
- You're good one minute,

and the next minute
you're all [ bleep ] up.

Like, I don't know how to get out,
and that's why I'm here

'cause I don't know
how to fix it by myself.

- I see that
she wants to get better.

I see the struggles
that she's going through

because I've been there.

One more. Let it out.
Let it out. Good.

There you go.
I see how bad you want to help yourself.

I'm gonna be here
every step of the way,

and I can't wait to see
what you're gonna look like

and how you're gonna feel.
Come over here.

- Thanks.
- Of course.

We're gonna get you there, girl.

- Go, go, go, go!
- Drive those legs!

Drive those legs! Come on!

Work! Come on! Get it! Get it!

- Hah! Come on.

- Breathe.

The more relaxed you are in there,
the more relaxed it shows to me.

- HOLLY: I never had the kind of hope
that I had before coming here.

- Good. Drop. Good. Yeah.

Pull!
- [ indistinct shouting ]

- Yeah. Nice, Holly, nice!

- Nice. Good job.

- I'm seeing doctors,
like nutritionists and therapists.

I mean, I know, these are, like,
cramps and not muscles yet,

but, like, it's happening.

I'm super grateful and blessed

to push my body
like I never thought I could.

- Break! Uhh!

- All right.
- Whoo!

- Holly!
- Go, J!

- ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and gentlemen,

Holly Jackson!

[ cheers and applause ]

- 10 weeks ago, I did not think
that I would be standing right here,

but here I am

and better than ever.

I think that these 10 weeks have been
the best 10 weeks of my life

and going home
is starting a new chapter.

Now!
- You look so good!

You just look so happy, so confident,

and I'm just-
-I'm so proud of you.

- Since coming here
and being on this journey,

I've gained 15 pounds,

something I didn't really see possible.

So I want to thank you for coming

and sharing your story
with the whole world

and helping everyone that you felt was--
Look at me now.

- [ crowd cheering ]

- I feel great. You know,
my face is starting to fill out.

I'm not cold all the time.
I don't have headaches all the time.

I can eat. I have an appetite.

- Well, we also have your mom here,

and I'd like to invite Mom
to come into the ring.

- [ cheering ]

- Me and my mom have been
through a lot,

but I think coming here
was a great opportunity

for me to grow
and for me to understand

why things have happened
the way they have.

I love you, Mom.

And now I'm in a place
where I just want her to do good,

and I want to inspire her
to do better, too.

I think sometimes
people are too afraid to ask for help,

but I know the help that I received,
that it saved my life.

[ cheers and applause ]

- Holly definitely has come so far.

For someone that's struggling
with such a disorder, that's incredible.

- Will you promise me
that you will keep this going?

- I swear. There's no other way.

Like, I can't go back. I can't.

- And it doesn't matter promising me,
but promise yourself.

- No, I know. I promise both of us.
- You know?

Yeah. Good. Good.
- I can't go back to that.

- I want you to remember that, too,
though, we are here for you.

- Thank you.
- Okay?

So you're not alone.
- Thank you.

- And I don't
want you to forget that.

- I'm just super grateful.
