Chuck Carroll of spoke to Paige on Turnbuckle Weekly this week about the #GiveDivasAChance movement. You can listen to the interview on the new Play.It podcast network or on CBS Radio and TV websites around the country.
Here’s what Paige said about the perception that WWE Divas not getting nearly enough time to wrestle on television and how things are different in NXT:
“If we get given the time (on the main roster)… a lot of us could be better than the guys, I feel like, if we get given the time,” she said. “The guys get all the time to showcase what they can do. So, of course people say ‘the guys are better than the girls.’ We do a couple minutes and that’s it. We don’t really get to showcase what we do…
”In NXT you do. I feel like a lot of people tune into NXT just to watch the women because they literally kick ass. They have all this time and they’re just incredible.”
Paige said she was unsure why the gender imbalance exists.
She also mentioned that she’s been in touch with AJ Lee who has been absent from TV since mid-December. “She’s great. You know, some people just need a break to rest up. It happens to all of us. You get tired or rundown or you just need your body to rest up. “
She added that the fourth season of Total Divas is starting to film this week and is believed to run through SummerSlam.
