In an interview with Chuck Carroll on Turnbuckle Weekly to promote this Sunday’s WWE Hell in a Cell PPV, WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee discussed her feud with Paige, rejecting the call for Total Divas and more.
Highlights of the interview are below:
On rejecting the call for Total Divas: “It’s been well documented for the second season they tried to get me on board. I’m not interested in being famous, I’m interested in doing my job and doing it well and that’s wrestling and that’s what I love. I could do it, but I wouldn’t do it, I’m just happy being who I am on TV two days a week and on live events and then going into my private life and into my little hole in the middle of nowhere and having no one talk to me about my private life.”
On her feud with Paige and the teasing of a same-sex crush between herself and Paige: “Well, we are a PG program, but I think that’s the fun part. The thing is, everyone said my character is unpredictable and you didn’t know where it was going and then to have somebody that does the same thing, that’s also kind of cool and crazy and you didn’t know what we were going to do for a while.”
