“Tough Enough” Winner Sara Lee on Feuding With Paige, Being a Heel or Face

This past Tuesday night on the season finale of WWE “Tough Enough,” female competitor Sara Lee took home the grand prize of $250,000, along with a contract to work for the company.

In a recent interview with MLive.com, Sara discussed what it would be like having an in-ring feud with Paige (a judge on the show), as well as what kind of character she sees herself being on the main roster.

Q: Do you see a future rivalry in the ring with Paige?

Sara: “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.”

Q: Do you want to be a hero, or a heel?

“I’m open to whatever, because things are constantly changing in WWE. I’d have to work on my heel character a little bit. With the right tools, I think I could put together a good heel character. Whatever is asked of me, whatever the demands are, I’m ready to try it.”

Sara was also asked if she would have won “Tough Enough” if fan voting weren’t a part of the competition’s format.

“It’s hard to say because the show would have had a different format,” Sara said. “At the end of the day, the WWE is about who people want to see in the ring and see who they connect with. The fans chose who they wanted.”
