"WWE Tough Enough" Star Sara Lee Discusses the Competition

The newest edition of “WWE Tough Enough” kicks off Tuesday night, with big plans in store for the series. A brand-new set was constructed for the program, which will be hosted by Chris Jericho and Renee Young. The show will also feature former WWE Superstars serving as trainers, while Hulk Hogan, Paige and Daniel Bryan will provide additional commentary for the program.

After the final list of competitors was revealed for the show, the future Superstars of tomorrow began to prepare for the competition.

Sara Lee is a finalist for the female spot, hailing from Hope, Michigan. She was recently profiled by Mlive.com, where she opened up about her upcoming “Tough Enough” experience. Below are a few brief highlights from the piece:

On who she thinks her biggest competition will be:

“I feel like at this point everyone is pretty equal. I’ve become good friends with Daria. She is super competitive. We push each other, but I would hate to get beaten by her.”

On which judge she can’t wait to meet:

“I’m a huge fan of Daniel Bryan. I just started watching WWE a few years ago. He is one of my favorites. I also can’t wait to meet Hulk Hogan. He is an absolute legend.”

On why she can win:

“I am very competitive. I also do powerlifting, so I know how to pace myself for competitions.”

Interestingly enough, Lee notes if she does not win, she is interested in becoming an ultrasound technician rather than continuing to pursue a career in wrestling.

There will be two winners selected for this edition of the show, one male and one female. Each will receive a one-year contract with WWE, valued at $250,000.
