WWE Raw star Mia Yim was interviewed on the latest “Out of Character” episode. Yim talked about learning about how she would be part of The OC with AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson after her return to WWE. She also talked about her love for video games and more.
On whether her ring name is now Mia Yim or Michin:
“That’s a great question because I don’t know. I think it was originally a nickname. The whole time I was told it was a nickname. The biggest thing I want everyone to know is I’m okay with this name. Everything new, not everyone is going to like it. I get it, but I’m okay with this name. It’s better than Reckoning, so I’m not going to complain about this.”
“It’s a nickname now, and who knows, maybe in the future it could transition to being my name, which if it is, I’m okay with that, too. I just want everyone to know, like, you don’t have to set the building on fire. It’s okay. It’s also a challenge for me to make it work. It might not work now, because for 12 years I’ve been Mia Yim. So of course, something different, something new, people are not gonna like it. ‘Why are you changing something that’s not broken?’ It’s like, okay, but this may be just a challenge. Let me see if I can get you to love Michin just as much as you love Mia Yim if that were the case.”
