Paige Interview WWE: NXT Divas, "Total Divas," and More

Two-time Divas Champion Paige was a recent guest of “The Josh Podcast,” which is part of “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.” The WWE Diva spoke on a lot of topics in the wrestling industry, including NXT, the passing of Drew McDonald, “Total Divas,” and much more.

The “Diva of Tomorrow” spoke on the impact Drew McDonald had on her wrestling career:

“First of all, he was an absolute legend in the UK and European scene in general. I grew up around him. I’ve known him since I was literally a very small child. He meant so much to me. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here. He was literally like an uncle, as well as someone who gave me the chance to have my dream job.”

“He always said be aggressive. I used to do a lot of wrestling moves, but instead he would say, ‘no you need to be more aggressive, you need to be more angry’. That’s where my head-butts come in, and this is where my knees come in.”

Additionally, the former NXT Women’s Champion discussed the Divas division in NXT, and who should be the next to get the call to go up to WWE:

“I’m best friends with Bailey, but Sasha Banks is the full package. Like everything about her, she’s got a character; she’s got the moves. Backstage, she is so sweet and professional and actually amazing.”

Paige also talked about the potential to one day have an All-Divas WWE Network special:

“I would love that too, because before I wrestled here, I used to work for an all-women wrestling show and so many people used to come out to watch it. These women would kick each other’s asses; we used to beat the living hell out of each other, and people used to love it. I think there is definitely a draw, and there are a lot of people that would be very interested in watching it.”
