The camera zooms in to show her in the crowd, and Tatum says that the fans did not want her to change, and for the first time in her life, she has found real love. She says that the fans have accepted every part of her, and when she beats Izzi Dame for the NXT Women's North American Championship, the title will not be hers; it will be everyone's.
