Paige on WrestleMania, Her Character, Charlotte

With her WWE Divas Championship match against Nikki Bella at “Fastlane” quickly approaching, former champion Paige spoke with International Business Times to discuss various aspects of her wrestling career. Below are some of the highlights.

Paige spoke on potentially holding the championship at her first WrestleMania:

“It’ll be my first WrestleMania. I think it would blow my mind just because this whole year has been absolutely incredible for me, so to make more history and become a three-time WWE Divas champion would be absolutely incredible. And then to take it into WrestleMania would be the cherry on top. So if I could do that, it would be my dream come true, basically.”

She went in-depth on how her character has changed since debuting and why she keeps it fresh:

“I like to keep changing and evolving character-wise, so it’s always nice to change it up. When I first came up I was like “Oh man, I can’t be this little, prissy babyface,” so it was kind of weird. And then turning heel was a blessing. I love it. I love being the bad guy. And I still get to act the same, but they cheer me now, so I like that. It kind of reminds me of Stone Cold, in that he could kind of keep his character and he could be either a heel or babyface, and that’s kind of what I’m trying to do right now. So I was a heel, and now I’m basically a heel that gets cheered.”

Paige also gave her thoughts on NXT Diva Charlotte, who may reach the main roster soon:

“She’s good. She’s still new, so I feel like at one point people want to see her, but they’re kind of rushing it. I think she could do with some more time, but I still think Sasha Banks is the one that I personally want to come up and who I think is completely ready and the full package, boxed up and ready to go. I feel like she’d be absolutely perfect up here. Charlotte is good, but (needs) some more time.”

Editor’s Note

She’s very fresh. Surprised she considers herself a heel right now though, working with the Bellas.
