Paige recently appeared on Sirius XM’s Busted Open Radio. The station posted an excerpt from her interview. Paige discussed her time in FCW, how it differed from her time wrestling men when she was learning the business, and how they wanted her to do bikini contests. Here’s the snippet:
When I first came in, it was still in the era where it was more of the Divas—and I don’t like to give the Divas a bad name, Divas is what I wanted to be when I was growing up—it isn’t bad. But it was just full of models and people that hadn’t been in the business for a very long time, and I came in and I made a few of the girls cry. I was like ‘I’m so sorry, that’s just how I wrestle!’
Then I had to start doing the bikini contests [in FCW] and I put my foot down and I was like ‘no, I’m here to wrestle.’
"I came in and I made a couple of the girls cry when I first started and I said 'I'm sorry it's just how I wrestle.'" @RealPaigeWWE to @davidlagreca1 & @TheMarkHenry on if she feels like a true pioneer of the @WWE Women's evolution. #SDLive #SD1000 #WWEEvolution pic.twitter.com/0pUgFaV5Gv
