Two-time WWE Divas Champion Paige recently appeared on “The Josh Podcast,” which is part of “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.” The WWE Diva spoke out on a lot of topics in the professional wrestling industry, including NXT, the passing of Drew McDonald, “Total Divas,” social media and much more.
The 22-year-old 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 inaugural NXT Women’s Champion addressed the Divas division in NXT, and who she feels should be next to be promoted to the WWE main roster:
“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 is quite popular on social media, with over one million combined followers on Twitter and Instagram. Despite this, she reveals that it can be an unpleasant experience.
“It’s so hard to read the comments. I try to, and people get so angry at me. I cant help it there are a lot of comments. A lot of them wind up being extremely rude or extremely sexual or something, I’m just like I can’t respond to that. I’d get in trouble if I tell a guy who says I suck like, ‘F you’.”
Paige also discusses her time in high school, “Total Divas,” among other topics. The audio interview is available here.
