  • Paige Talks Naked Towel Angle On RAW, Nikki Bella/AJ Lee Beef?

    Paige recently took part in a Q&A at the Wizard World Comic Con in San Jose, California and among other things, Paige spoke about whether she thought Nikki Bella breaking AJ Lee’s record was a personal shot at CM Punk, as well as her towel angle from RAW several weeks ago.

    Regarding the Bella record-breaking reign being a shot at AJ Lee and/or Punk, Paige offered the following response.

    “Oh, I don’t think so. Don’t get me involved in this! I don’t need that heat, brother,” Paige said. “I don’t know. I have no idea. I don’t get involved in that crap.”

    As far as the angle on RAW where she was wearing a towel because The Bella Twins stole her clothes, Paige was asked if she was really naked under the towel.

    “That was legit live, guys. I had to run through the hallways in just a towel. I never thought I would be on RAW in just a towel.” Paige continued, “it had to go live, so Vince was like, ‘if she drops the towel everyone on the set is fired’ and I was like, ‘oh, it’s so much pressure’.”

  • Jim Ross Blog: RAW Thoughts, Sting/Rollins, Charlotte, Lesnar’s Absence & More

    WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross recently updated his official blog with his latest thoughts and opinions on a number of subjects. Below are some of the highlights.

    On the finish to RAW: “The finish of the show was perfect to build to Sunday’s NOC as Sting beating Rollins as tried an true, old school booking. Still curious as to why WWE did not heavily promote Sting’s first ever match on RAW in advance especially going up against the Monday Night Football double header. Nice booking.”

    On the finish to the Nikki Bella vs. Charlotte title match: “Had no issue with villain Nikki cheating to retain her title and creating another opportunity to have another title bout in Houston Sunday against a motivated Charlotte. I only hope that Charlotte will never be earmarked to be a umpteen time champion which is one of the more overrated stats in pro wrestling. WWE is blessed with some amazing female talent and if they are not booked liked females have traditionally been more often than not in the biz in the past, they have something special to work with that will be new and fresh.”

    “Nonetheless, Charlotte is amazingly athletic and a special talent and she reminds me of a female Kurt Angle.”

    On Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman: “Love that @HeymanHustle and Brock Lesnar are not on every RAW as it keeps them special ala Andre the Giant back in the day when he was the most valued attraction in the game. Same goes for Taker which is another reason that I feel that the Deadman isn’t retirement ready.”

    On Cesaro: “Damn, I’m a major fan of Cesaro and for the life of me still fee that he is massively underutilized. His in ring work/persona is SO strong that he’s a main eventer waiting to explode. I’d still love to see him some day have a match with Lesnar just for my own old school enjoyment. esaro is money…so please cash the check.”

  • The Bella Twins On Approaching Women At The Gym, Working Out With Cena/Daniel Bryan

    The Bella Twins recently spoke with GQ.com to talk about secret ways to pick up women at the gym. Below are some of the highlights of the interview.

    On whether or not Daniel Bryan and John Cena have influenced their fitness routines:

    Nikki Bella: “Actually, when John and I first started dating, I was coming back from breaking my leg. Before that, I was just the type of girl who would do cardio at the gym, lift some free weights, and take some classes. So when I was getting back into shape, he introduced me to Olympic lifting. I always had this perception that when you lift weights, you’re going to get bulky and thick. I didn’t realize you actually burn a lot of fat and that it trims you down. So when John got me past that, I just fell in love with this style of weightlifting. It has totally transformed my body.”

    Brie Bella: “If Bryan is like, “I’m going to be at the gym here for two hours,” it forces me to keep myself busy for those two hours. It pushes you more! And Bryan is actually the first relationship I’ve been in where my partner enjoys a healthy lifestyle like me. Even past lifting weights at the gym. I’ve never had a loved one to go hiking with me, or to do yoga with me. And that has actually changed me. Now instead of being like, “Hey, lets go to happy hour!” it’s like, ‘Lets go find this mountain to hike.’”

    Brie on whether or not people should work out with loved ones:

    “I think working out with a loved one makes everything feel better! And for us, we’re constantly on the road. So I’m always looking for extra time to hang out with Bryan. When we get to work out together, yes, we’re doing something for our health. But at the same time we’re actually getting to spend some time together.”

    Nikki on advice for guys who are looking to approach women at the gym:

    “When she is on the treadmill, leave her alone! I can’t tell you how many guys have approached me when I’m doing cardio. Like, I have my headphones on, I’m in the zone, so don’t bother me. I think the best time to approach a woman is actually after her workout. When you’re working out, you’re playing your jam, you’re in the groove, and you don’t want to be interrupted. So guys, wait until she’s done getting her sweat on.”

  • Eric Bischoff On Stone Cold Podcast?, WWE Changes Plans On Nikki Bella, The Rock

  • Charlotte Talks About Becoming #1 Contender, Living Up To Her Father’s Legacy & The Divas Revolution

    Charlotte was Michael Cole’s guest for this week’s sit-down interview at WWE.com to discuss her upcoming Divas Championship match against Nikki Bella at Night of Champions.

    Charlotte said the past few days do not seem real. She only started at NXT 3 years ago and she remembers watching Paige and Emma at NXT Arrival and wondering how she would ever reach that level. She never pictured herself in this position and she’s honored to have this opportunity.

    4 years ago, she was a personal trainer and got emotional when revealing that it was her little brother who made her believe in herself and made her realize that this was a dream of her’s.

    Michael Cole asked about her father and what it’s been like coming into this business as the daughter of the legendary Ric Flair. She joked that she’s crying right now and her father has always been an emotional guy. A lot of pepole think that doors have opened easy for her due to her family lineage, but it’s also put a lot of pressure on her to live up to his legacy. She is so proud of her father and she wants to carry on his legacy. She thinks a lot about what people think about her and questions if she’s only here because of who her father is.

    All she knows how to do is work hard. Whether it’s been volleyball, cheerleading, basketball, gymnastics, track, diving, tennis. All she’s ever wanted to do is be the best. At the end of the day, she just wants to make her family proud.

    Cole brought up Nikki Bella’s comments to WWE.com this week where she stated Charlotte isn’t ready for this and should go back to NXT. Charlotte says she loves NXT and would love to go back whenever she can. She’s disappointed that Nikki doesn’t look at her as competition. She wasn’t raised that way and looks at everyone fairly. Especially with the Divas Revolution, it makes her feel that Nikki doesn’t take her seriously. Nikki doubting her makes her blood boil and fuels her to become champion.

    Charlotte was asked what the Divas Revolution means to her. She said she’s been through a lot, she’s seen a lot and the movement is not about fancy clothes or magazine covers. It’s about empowering women all around the world and she hopes that little girls and women around the world look at her as inspiration and follow their dreams.
