Both Tough Enough winners Josh Bredl and Sara Lee will return home for a few weeks before returning to Florida to begin their training to become a WWE star.

Josh is heading back to Colorado, where he finished up at CSU-Pueblo before auditioning for Tough Enough. Sara is returning home to Michigan, which drew the attention of ESPN Women noting that she was an "amateur wood chopper," to unwind and pack before heading back to Florida.

Although fan voting was the final determinant in who won this season of Tough Enough, Triple H noted that Sara's connection with the female demographic made her stand out in his eyes.

"For him to say that, it just makes me more determined to put the work in so I can clean up my ring skills and get them better, so that the coaches and the judges would all agree with him that I do belong here," Sara told Afterbuzz TV in a post-show interview.

“It’s surreal,” said Sara's dad, Bob, to a local Michigan newspaper. “It’s awesome. It’s a positive thing. Triple H said to her at SummerSlam that his little girls came back and they were all excited about meeting Sara Lee. He said you can’t teach personality, and that’s what she has.”

Added Sara's mom, Terri: "Hope is where she comes from, and she’s inspiring a lot of young people with a dream to have hope. It doesn’t matter if you’re just a regular person from a small town. If you work towards your dream and you have hope there’s no limit."

Josh's young daughter, who made a cameo during the season via Facetime chat, was also excited to meet the women's wrestlers when families were brought to the season finale on Tuesday night.

Now, Josh returns to Colorado to pack for his move down to Florida. "I'm definitely excited to, you know, show what I got and make this a lifelong career," Josh told Afterbuzz TV.

"I have been working hard this whole time. For it to pay off and get the contract in hand and get the physical payout, it was awesome," Josh added to Scott Fishman for Channel Guide Magazine. "I was also very nervous going into this thing because I know Z.Z. has a pretty big fanbase. The past couple weeks I’ve been picking up steam, and it obviously showed with the percentages. I’m ready to get to work.”

Sara also has opportunities to stay in the spotlight, whether appearing on NXT while working in the Performance Center or potentially joining the cast of "Total Divas."

“With the ‘Diva Revolution’ going on, it would be pretty awesome to find my own team down the line,” Sara said. “Then we can work against Team B.A.D. or a group like that. The divas are on an awesome streak right now. I want to break the mold and be myself like I have been," Sara told Fishman.

There's also a potential match down the road with Paige, who was Sara's harshest critic during the season. "I think the foundation is definitely there for a good match with her someday. Outside of the ring, Paige is really cool and everything she says to me, I don't take it personally. She's just trying to help me improve. I take her suggestions and criticisms and learn from them. She's one of my favorite WWE Divas," Sara told Michigan publication MLIve.com.

As for Total Divas, Sara said, "That's a good show. It would be awesome to be a part of it. If they are looking, I'm definitely interested."

All of that is in the future after both Josh and Sara get settled in for their one-year, $250,000 contract to try to become a WWE star.

“I’m really stoked to work there. I’m taking each day at a time. I’m doing the most to give back to the WWE Universe," Josh told the Denver Post. “My time with football ran out. I saw this opportunity.”
