WrestleMania competitor Paige recently talked with Metal Hammer to discuss her interest in music and her match at WrestleMania, in which she’ll teams with AJ Lee against Brie & Nikki Bella.
Paige shared what first got her into rock music, citing inspiration from Bon Jovi and Aerosmith:
“I think my mum. I got my Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra from my dad but more of the rock-y kind of things was my mum. Weird story, but my real name (Saraya) is actually named after the band Slayer ha ha! My mum’s a total rockhead – she’s got a Motörhead tattoo, loads of piercings – she’s a badass. When I was growing up she’d listen to Bon Jovi and Aerosmith and stuff like that. I blame her.”
The former Divas Champion also dished on her past and what high school was like for her:
“I was a big tomboy, I was never a ‘girly girl’. In my last year of school I had a big emo combover and thought that was cool… then my eyebrows got thinner and my make-up got thicker! I used to dress in my brother’s clothes! Then I got rid of the combover and my mum said ‘Oh thank god you got rid of it, it was so ugly.’ Why didn’t she tell me?! I used so much hairspray ha ha.”
Paige also talked about her current entrance music and what she would choose if she could:
“WWE made my current one and I was surprised by it because I thought entrance music for a Diva would suck ha ha! But they did a really good job – I love it. I was kind of weirded-out by the eagle screech at the start but it’s kind of become my thing – like Stone Cold has the broken glass and Bret Hart had the high pitched guitar. I feel if I chose my own music I’d be biased toward the A Day To Remember boys. I’d bring them to Wrestlemania and have them play 2nd Sucks as I walk to the ring.”
And finally, Paige addressed her WrestleMania match and if it feels like it’s the “weirdos” versus the “cheerleaders”:
“It’s like that high school thing where you’ve got the little weirdos in the corner who are dark and broody then you’ve got the cheerleaders who dance around and love themselves. I like it though so people can pick teams – none of us can be the good or bad guy, people will cheer for who they want to cheer for. You’ve got the girly girls who love the Bella Twins but it’s mainly guys who like the weird-looking quirky girls.
“We’re actually trying to come up with tag-team names and one of them was The Legion Of Womb, then we thought of The Anti Divas ’cause it’s something I tried in NXT. But if one of your readers can come up with a cool tag-team name then let me know! It has to be cool, it can’t be something girly.”
