I spoke to WWE Diva Paige this past week on a number of topics which you can read in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
One of the most interesting is the recent movement surrounding #GiveDivasAChance. Here is what Paige had to say:
Q: Lately there’s been a lot of support for more television time for the Divas. I associate a lot of that to you, your popularity and the fan base you’ve created. You’ve been in the center of a lot of these controversies and segments of people wanting to see more of you. I think you really have generated this authentic fan base who want to see more women’s wrestling in WWE. What’s your take on that?
A: Well, first of all, thank you. I appreciate that very much. I feel like it’s not just me. Me and The Bellas have been working really hard the last couple of months. We’re really trying to build and tell a story and get the fans behind us. There is only so much you can do in a couple of minutes. I feel like the fans see that, and they really want to give us a chance. We only had a couple of minutes on RAW, and it caused this big uproar.
They usually do give us a bit of time and the segment. I really appreciate the uproar started because now we’re getting tons more. We got a promo, we got this, we got that. I’ve never had this much before, but I love it. I feel like it’s definitely a two-way street. The fans love me, and they love the Bella Twins, too. They definitely have to get a lot of credit for how this big uproar started.
Paige also talks about how the other Divas first treated her because she had so much experience prior to WWE, her dream WrestleMania opponent, Total Divas filming and more. Click here to read more of the interview.
