John McAreavey: Love, moving forward and hope in pursuit for justice for Michaela

Published

After meeting as students in Belfast, Michaela and John married in on 30 December 2010.

However, tragedy would strike just 12 days later when she visited the couple’s room in a luxury resort in Mauritius on her own after lunch, and she was discovered by John who raised the alarm.

In the aftermath, John, now 41, said there was shock, but there was also “anger” at how the authorities dealt with her death, and the lack of convictions that followed.

“I’ve never asked the question of, ‘why did this happen to me?’, I’ve always just felt so sorry for Michaela,” he said.

“It’s only now that I’m able to talk about it quite logically. There’s still a hell of a lot of pain associated with it, but I accept that it’s always going to be the case.

“I know how intense it is to live with that pain, so I’ve been able to find a way to manage it.”

McAreavey, who featured for Down’s senior football panel and won an All-Ireland Intermediate title with his club Tullylish in 2010, admits that “moving on is a term that has never been comfortable for me”.

“I’ve said before about moving forward, and that just changes the reference around it.

“You’ll never move on from something like that, you can’t just let that be. You have to find a way to move forward.

“I’m still heavily involved for trying to find justice for Michaela so it’s still a very active part of my life.”

“I’m Gonna Be Vulnerable” – Jacy Jayne Breaks Character; Cuts Heartbreaking WWE Promo

Published

on

Jacy Jayne broke character during tonight’s show. She cut a heartbreaking promo in the ring.

Jacy Jayne shocked the world last year when she defeated Stephanie Vaquer to become the NXT Women’s Champion. Although people considered her a beatable champion, she has proven them wrong. Jayne has since had two reigns with the NXT Women’s Championship and proven she will do whatever it takes to win retain the title. Her next challenger is Sol Ruca.

Tonight on WWE NXT, Jacy Jayne cut a heartbreaking promo in the ring. She said that she wanted this match against Sol Ruca since she’s been jealous of the latter because no matter what she does, people always talk about Sol being the bigger star.

“Now I bet you all think I’m gonna come out here and complain about having to defend my NXT Women’s Championship against Sol Ruca next week, but it’s actually the complete opposite. See, I’m looking more forward to this match than quite possibly any match I’ve had throughout my entire career. And I don’t usually do this, but I’m gonna be vulnerable with all of you for once. If I’m being completely honest with myself, I am extremely jealous of Sol Ruca. I know, it’s hard to believe me, Jacy Jayne, being jealous, but it’s the truth. Because no matter what I do or what I’ve been through or how many times I’ve fallen and had to pick myself back up or how week in and week out, I come out here and have amazing match after amazing match. Yes, thank you. You all still look me dead in the face and say that Sol Ruca is a bigger star than me. Wow, imagine that.”

She further added that she won the NXT Title off Stephanie Vaquer who is the current Women’s World Champion, but people still care for Sol Ruca.

“Last year, I held the TNA Knockouts World Championship and the NXT Championship at the same time, holding two brands together. I won this championship off of Stephanie Vaquer, the same woman who is walking into this year’s WrestleMania as the WWE Women’s World Champion.”


Jacy Jayne claimed that she is the most underrated woman in NXT

Right from when Jacy Jayne started in NXT, she was never considered a main character. Nobody expected her to become the NXT Women’s Champion. Therefore, her title win was very shocking. Jacy is aware that she may be one of the most underrated women in WWE.

During the same promo, Jacy Jayne said that Sol Ruca has been shoved in everyone’s faces and she got a title shot because she sacrificed her best friend Zaria. Jacy said she won the title because she is the best woman in NXT and the most underrated woman in WWE.

“Sol Ruca has been shoved not only in my face, but in all of our faces, shoved down our throats all year. And enough is enough. The only reason she even got a shot at this championship is because she sacrificed her best friend. And next week, Sol, you’re not gonna have your best friend by your side, and you’re damn sure not gonna have this NXT Women’s Championship either. You see, I didn’t win this championship by being flashy and being able to flip every five seconds. No, I won this championship because I’m simply the best woman in NXT. And if we’re being completely honest here, I’m the most underrated woman in all of WWE today.”

It remains to be seen if Jacy Jayne will be able to retain her title against Sol Ruca.
