Paige discusses having a MMA career after WWE
WWE Superstar Paige was in New York City last week with Alberto Del Rio doing media for Del Rio’s Combate Americas MMA promotion. While in town, the two hit an MMA gym, with Paige showing off some of her moves just months after undergoing neck surgery. They were later approached by a reporter from TMZ and Paige said she is considering an MMA career when her days in the ring are over.
“I mean … when my time with WWE comes to an end, at some point then, maybe,” said Paige, when asked by the interviewer if she would ever consider jumping to MMA competition.
Paige continued, expressing her desire to take part in more MMA training sessions, noting the plan is to train every week, which she confirmed with Del Rio in the video.
“I want to start training like every single week,” said Paige, before turning to her boyfriend to say, “Which we’re gonna start doing, right?”
Additionally, Paige noted that Del Rio’s boss, former Semaphore Entertainment Group (SEG) executive and UFC co-founder, as well as the founder of Combate Americas — Campbell McClaren — has been actively pursuing her regarding joining the new upstart MMA promotion.
“And Campbell [McClaren], his boss, has been trying to get me to join him,” said Paige.
