Paige Talks AJ Lee Possibly Returning, Emma, and More

Divas Champion and recent NXT call-up, Paige, recently spoke to Digital Spy, promoting WWE’s ongoing tour of the United Kingdom. During the interview, Paige talked to Mayer Nissim about a number of topics such as a possible rematch with AJ Lee, Emma’s transition to the main WWE roster, among many other topics.

When asked if she is looking forward to a rematch with AJ Lee upon AJ’s return, Paige said the following:

“If she does come, great! I can’t wait, because then it gives me more competition and I know she’s going to be coming straight after me. She’s going to be full of anger and she’s going to be better than ever. The girls so far have given me a great fight. Alicia Fox on Raw the other day really, really stuck it to me! But I still came out victorious. Tamina’s always been very dominating so I’ve really had a good run so far – so I look forward to AJ one day.”

Paige was also questioned about Emma, who Paige defeated to become the first NXT Divas Champion:

“Emma is incredible, first of all. I really enjoyed every single match I had with her and she deserves everything that she’s getting so far. She’s really, really working hard – she’s definitely a workhorse. She’s just really happy. People have seen what she can do but not what she’s so freaking fantastic at. It’s good that people are seeing it bit by bit. If we just saw it all in our face already, people are going to get tired quickly. The way she’s growing at the minute, she’s doing great. You haven’t seen the best of her yet, definitely not.”

The “Anti-Diva” also spoke about WWE’s developmental program, NXT:

“NXT as a whole is fantastic. When I first started we didn’t have the TV. We had to try and start again and build our brand and no-one really knew us. We were doing the live events and training every day. When Triple H took it over and made it his baby he really, really jumpstarted it for us. I got a large fanbase just from NXT itself. It’s an amazing brand.

“NXT’s really, really helping. Everyone really enjoys it. It’s a really short show and it’s full of wrestling and people love the wrestling side of things too. They get what they want on Raw, they get what they want on NXT. I think it helps having NXT – you get to see the young talent before they come up here – it’s great for everyone.”
