Paige was recently interviewed by Comicbook.com. This was in order to promote the upcoming DVD release of Fighting With My Family.
During the interview, Paige revealed that she originally pitched to manage two WWE Superstars. This was prior to her being named the manager of the new tag team of Asuka and Kairi Sane.
Here is what she said:
“I pitched to manage Ronda Rousey, kind of like the Paul Heyman-Brock Lesnar thing. And then also be with Asuka, because Asuka had trouble speaking on the mic sometimes. As much as she’s an amazing athlete, an incredible wrestler, and I was like, ‘I’ll help her, give me the microphone, I’ll talk for her.’
And then Paul Heyman called me one day and said, ‘We have a great role for you. You can be the next me with these two women.’ I was like, ‘Wow, what a crazy tag team, they’re incredible…. Absolutely, I’ll take it!'”
Would you have enjoyed seeing Paige paired with Ronda or Asuka (as singles competitors)? Let me know in the comment section below.
