  • Charlotte Acknowledges Paige’s Critical Remarks, Total Divas Preview For March 1, Rhonda Singh

    – During an interview this week with International Business Times, Paige, who will challenge Nikki Bella for the Divas Championship at Fastlane, was asked about Charlotte possibly being promoted to the main WWE roster in the near future. “The Anti-Diva” believes Charlotte needs to spend some more time in NXT.

    “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,” Paige said. “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.”

    While Charlotte has not publicly responded to her comments, she did ‘favorite’ theses message backing her on Twitter:

    “the reason @RealPaigeWWE doesnt want @MsCharlotteWWE coming up to the main roster before sasha is because charlotte is a bigger threat.”

    “@RealPaigeWWE has been talking smack huh? Well, Do it with #Flair shut her down. #RunIn #FastLane #DivasTitle.”

    – Here is the synopsis for an all-new episode of Total Divas airing on Sunday, Mar. 1 at 9:00 p.m. on E!: “Ariane is embarrassed for her father to meet Vinnie’s family; Nattie struggles with TJ’s new career choice, finding it difficult to be supportive when he strips down with some hot models; and Paige feels the need to rebel when WWE tells her not to get a tattoo.”

    – Saturday would have marked as the 54th birthday of Rhonda Singh, who formerly competed in WWE as Bertha Faye. She died on July 27, 2001 at the age of 40 in Calgary, Alberta. The nature of her death remains unclear to this day as it was never reported. Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer stated in 2009 on the F4WOnline.com message board that she “probably died of suicide.” It has been rumored that a drug overdose caused her to suffer a heart attack.

  • WWE No Longer Numbering WrestleMania, Total Divas Preview (Video), Bray Wyatt

    – WWE is reportedly no longer branding WrestleMania with numbers, at least with the logo. Instead, symbols are being used to distinguish each event.

    It was announced last week that WrestleMania will come to AT&T Stadium in Texas on April 3, 2016 and “32” is nowhere to be seen on the logo. It instead features a star to represent the “Lone Star State.” On top of that, the logo for this year’s WrestleMania features a “Play” button to represent Silicon Valley’s Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

    This is according to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, who said on Wrestling Observer Radio today that the events are no longer being branded with numbers “because Vince thinks it makes it sound too old.”

    – E! has released this preview clip of the next all-new episode of Total Divas, which airs two weeks from now on Sunday, Feb. 8. It is centered on Alicia Fox and Cameron, who dislike each other.

    The synopsis of the episode is as follows: “The future of the Bella Twins is in question after Brie’s admission that she doesn’t use protection; Nattie is forced to work with TJ even though they are separated; and Ariane makes a disastrous attempt to find out why exactly Alicia hates her.”

    On WrestleMania 31: “I am looking forward to WrestleMania 31 with Fandango; I am hoping that I will have a mixed tag match with him. I love working with him, he has totally different wrestling skills, and he has been wrestling for 15 years so I lean a lot by being his valet. He is incredibly athletic in the ring, and I look forward to working with him at WrestleMania 31 in March.”

    On being nervous about certain things airing on Total Divas: “Absolutely, because even though the cameras are around, things still happen, many embarrassing, awkward and private moments occur with the cameras rolling. In addition, I sometimes forget that the camera is there, and I relax and obviously I am just being myself but then when I watch it back on E! I end up learning a lot about myself. I learned how to NOT act on dates, I never realized how I sounded, and I thought ‘Wow. Maybe I shouldn’t have said all that, maybe I should have been a touch more mysterious.’ So overall I learned a lot from watching myself during the third season.”

  • Alicia Fox On Joining Total Divas, Who Else Should Join The Show, Her Favorite SD! Moment

    The following are highlights of a new The Rack Radio Show interview with WWE Diva and Total Divas star Alicia Fox:

    What was her reaction in finding out she was going to become part of the cast of ‘Total Divas’ “I was quite surprised; I was actually really surprised. Very excited but more surprised and definitely honored; it’s definitely an honor to be part of the cast and there’s a lot of great girls on the show. I definitely miss doing the Total Divas after show with Renee (Young), she’s an amazing host and friend, but now it’s good that Summer (Rae) on there with her. It’s been a really nice breath of fresh air to kind of mix everything up for the division and 2015 has been quite cool (so far).”

    If she has gotten used to having the camera always around as part of the show: “Being that this is my first season, it definitely took me a little bit to get used to it. The camera crew and everyone on that show is amazing so I never felt awkward or too weird; but it was definitely strange growing in front of an audience; there really is nowhere to hide. You are mic’ed and being seen everywhere, like you’re getting good news, getting bad news, getting ok news having to give good news or bad news; that took some adjusting because naturally I like being a private person so it was definitely different. But, being able to have a good time with my two girl friends on the show, Rosa and Paige, was definitely nice and we got to experience that together so it was a good transitioning period, you know?

    What can we expect from her on ‘Total Divas’ and if she has any tidbits to share about upcoming events: “I think you should definitely keep your eyes peeled starting this Sunday; it’s definitely going to start giving it momentum and some added edge I think the (WWE) Universe and the fans didn’t really see coming. So just stay tuned and keep your eyes peeled. It’s definitely going to be a very exciting season; it’s really a great time. With Paige and I being the new additions, it’s incorporating a breath of fresh air; stay tuned!”

    Is there anyone she’d like to see join the show: “Yeah, I’d be nice to see Renee (Young); it’d be nice to see Emma, even some of the new NXT talent to come into the mix eventually. That would be really cool because it just gives you another dimension to the WWE Superstars; sometimes with Divas matches, there’s not really time to talk and I think getting the opportunity to be on ‘Total Divas’ gives the audience a different view of our personalities and another level to relate to all of us on.”

    With Smackdown moving to Thursdays, what has been her favorite Smackdown moment: “My favorite Smackdown moment was one of my first actually; it was during my time with Edge and Vickie (Guerrero) in their wedding planning days and getting to be the homewrecker in that situation; that was one of my favorites. However, I’m super pumped about Smackdown moving to Thursdays; I think 2015 is bringing about a whole lot of new, surprising, interesting things and it’s a great way to start the new year.”

    What does she like to do on her days off Divas’: “I love training; I love going to the gym. If I have time, I love to go to a local bookstore here in Tampa called Oxford Exchange; it’s really cool and they have very unique books that I like to collect. I love doing the girly, girly things like getting my nails done and making sure your hair is on point; .jumping on my trampoline, being outside, just everything girly girls like to do.”

  • Chris Benoit Mentioned On WWE Network Show, Total Divas Preview Clip With The Bella Twins

    – During this week’s episode of the Monday Night War looking back at the fall of WCW, Chris Benoit was mentioned by name. While footage featuring the late wrestler is featured in its original form on the WWE Network, this may be the first time where he was mentioned by name on an original program.

    The subject of Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn defecting to WWE in 2000 was addressed and a clip of the group debuting on the January 31, 2000 episode of Raw was shown with audio of Jim Ross mentioning all four by name. The accompanying clips, however, were focused on Guerrero, Malenko and Saturn.

    Vince McMahon has said in the past that he is okay with acknowledging Benoit within a historical context, but not in a promotional manner.

    “It’s not right to pretend he didn’t exist,” McMahon said in a 2009 interview with WWE Magazine when asked whether Benoit’s history can be acknowledged by the company. “It’s one thing to include him as part of a historical perspective, which I believe is okay, and it’s another thing to promote him, which is not okay.

    “The situation is very similar to that of O.J. Simpson—despite his controversy, O.J. was still a part of the NFL scene. You can’t deny that he existed.”

  • Another Possible WWE HOF Inductee, More On Naomi Being Taken Off Total Divas
