Squid Game - one of 2021's most watched TV shows - sees fictional characters compete in games in a bid to be the last player left alive to take home a cash prize.
In the show, organisers of the games leave specific cards for potential participants, inviting them to risk their lives to play a number of different 'games'.
The 35-year-old has revealed that Cyborg has been leaving her own version of the cards around the hotel in an attempt to intimidate her.
"They're tagging me in that suplex video, she's out running in her sweat gear at two o'clock in the afternoon, blistering heat and they're out running," she said.
"Me and my missus were out walking past and they're videoing it. She has these cards, these Squid Game cards with her face on them.
"She's leaving them everywhere I go. Leaving them on my corner. Leaving them on my floor. She's trying to play mind games, trying to break me, but she can't. That's what she does to her opponents."
She added: "I just use it as fuel. They're sitting beside me and laughing at me. Doing all these horrible things. It's fuel for me."

The 36-year-old suggested the cards were for her fans, rather than her opponent - claiming that it was her team who had control over her social media during fight camps.
"It's my team giving away the cards for my fans. Sinead, I respect her, I respect her as a fighter and I'm very excited to fight her," she said.
"I stay out of social media in camps. I let my team focus on this. I focus on my fight and my training."
Cyborg has three finishes in her last three bouts and is undefeated in Bellator, whereas Kavanagh comes into the fight as the underdog and is the first female fighter from Ireland to contest a major MMA world title.
