1 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,320 So Twitch is just a streaming platform, and it's not just for video games now. 2 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,260 It's for pretty much like a YouTube, but you're live streaming on there 3 00:00:20,260 --> 00:00:21,260 constantly. 4 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,480 How are you guys?

It was really 8 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,680 my mental health. It really helped me a lot. 9 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,380 having all these people be nice to me rather than just being on other 10 00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:42,760 and seeing all the negativity. 11 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,540 So today we are going to be watching some wrestling. 12 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,360 Folks, there is another star from NXT. 13 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,180 She's from Norwich, England, and her name is Paige, and she's here on Raw. 14 00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:03,640 Look at me. Oh, beautiful at this moment. 15 00:01:04,410 --> 00:01:05,910 Everything was just going to change. 16 00:01:06,230 --> 00:01:07,230 Everything. 17 00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:13,610 The youngest female wrestler in British wrestling today. 18 00:01:14,010 --> 00:01:15,650 Soraya didn't take no weekends off. 19 00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:19,150 She broke down barriers every company she went to. 20 00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:22,150 I realized that's what I wanted to do. 21 00:01:22,670 --> 00:01:25,330 And there was nothing that was going to stop me from doing it. 22 00:01:25,570 --> 00:01:31,090 She was a veteran already at 19 years old. And she was baldy. 23 00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:34,790 She has that hard -hitting, grit kind of style to her. 24 00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:39,750 The 21 -year -old from Norwich, England, has just won the Davis Championship! 25 00:01:40,790 --> 00:01:43,470 I just think that they knew, like, this is going to be our girl. 26 00:01:44,010 --> 00:01:45,850 This is my house! 27 00:01:46,930 --> 00:01:50,510 She is what every female wrestler wants to be. 28 00:01:52,210 --> 00:01:55,910 I feel like that's where everything kind of... 29 00:01:56,980 --> 00:02:02,060 I asked Paige how her life has changed and she told me people know me now. 30 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,220 It's crazy how much hate you can get. I was surrounded by people that went out 31 00:02:07,220 --> 00:02:08,220 for my best interest. 32 00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:12,000 My beautiful little princess was broken. 33 00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:16,380 I'm just going to kill myself. That's what I wanted to do. Her heart was 34 00:02:16,380 --> 00:02:17,279 out of her chest. 35 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,740 She just wanted to get back to where she was. 36 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,500 Paige is back! 37 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,400 You can do anything you put your mind to, and she's shown that that's the 38 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,100 To be 30 years old and to have had a movie made about your life by The Rock, 39 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,300 what a crazy journey, what a crazy story. 40 00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:40,560 When I see what the women are doing today, I know that Paige had such a 41 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,560 part of that. 42 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,900 This is my heart, this is my soul, and this is my blood. 43 00:03:04,780 --> 00:03:06,420 I grew up in North England. 44 00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:12,140 I grew up with a family called the Beavises. 45 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,500 But most wrestling fans know us as the Knights. 46 00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:25,180 It's a warm welcome to the WAW Performance Center. 47 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,260 It's our Saturday Night Super Show! 48 00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:42,340 Dad's the one who got us into wrestling in the first place. He was a bouncer 49 00:03:42,340 --> 00:03:44,320 back in the day. They used to call him Paddy the Bat. 50 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,700 And he went to prison and did time and did all, like, you know, he was just one 51 00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:53,640 of those lunatics. And then my uncle Jimmy, he was like, you should try 52 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,500 wrestling. And this is the 80s. He was like, sure. 53 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,560 I thought, give it a go. I've got nothing else to do. And then within two 54 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,320 we were the tag team champions of the UK. 55 00:04:04,540 --> 00:04:06,260 So that's how quick it all happened. 56 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,860 He met my mom. 57 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:20,579 She was a chef at the holiday camps in England, which is like a glorified 58 00:04:20,579 --> 00:04:21,579 trailer park. 59 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,740 Within six weeks, he'd asked me to marry him, and I'd moved to Norwich. And that 60 00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:26,740 was 32 years ago. 61 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,880 I was his manager, and I was sweet. 62 00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:39,120 WAW is World Association of Wrestling, and my dad founded the company in 1994. 63 00:04:40,110 --> 00:04:43,230 You know, they started, you know, popping out babies, me and Zach. But 64 00:04:43,230 --> 00:04:47,310 also my brother, Roy, my brother, Asa, my sister, Nikki, from my dad's previous 65 00:04:47,310 --> 00:04:52,370 marriage. They were all wrestlers. It's definitely a family business. 66 00:04:54,110 --> 00:04:58,490 So my first bump was technically as a fetus. I'm very proud of it. I've been 67 00:04:58,490 --> 00:05:02,110 wrestling my entire life, even while inside my mother's womb. 68 00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:05,270 I didn't find out I was pregnant with Serene until I was seven months 69 00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:07,490 I got thrown out the ring into the crowd. 70 00:05:08,580 --> 00:05:13,540 Not even just inside the ring. No, like 12 feet in the air onto someone to the 71 00:05:13,540 --> 00:05:17,040 ground. And then I had her eight months and they tried from seven until eight to 72 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,620 stop her coming because she wanted to come out. 73 00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:25,960 She was a lovely, lovely child. She was the baby of the family and everybody 74 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:26,960 doted on her. 75 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,520 She was always happy. She was a bit OCD at times. 76 00:05:30,780 --> 00:05:32,220 She was all good and upset. 77 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,720 Very mischievous. 78 00:05:35,050 --> 00:05:38,210 Would not take notes off no one. Not me, not her dad. 79 00:05:39,550 --> 00:05:45,370 I remember getting called into a primary school and they said to me, we think 80 00:05:45,370 --> 00:05:46,510 there's something wrong with your daughter. 81 00:05:46,730 --> 00:05:48,310 She doesn't mix with other kids. 82 00:05:48,990 --> 00:05:51,950 And she probably finds them stupid. 83 00:05:53,210 --> 00:05:56,950 Having wrestling parents growing up was definitely very different in England. 84 00:05:57,250 --> 00:06:00,810 I mean, I would get bullied for that in school for a while until they realized 85 00:06:00,810 --> 00:06:01,810 that I could kick their ass. 86 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,300 Me and Soraya were very close growing up. We were like twins. 87 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,660 She was my best friend when the rest of the family were on the road. 88 00:06:08,940 --> 00:06:10,980 Soraya was someone that was always there. 89 00:06:11,860 --> 00:06:13,040 They were inseparable. 90 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,020 They argued like can dogs. 91 00:06:15,340 --> 00:06:19,100 My mum and dad's house, the doors have still got stab marks in the doors where 92 00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:21,480 we used to chase each other around with knives. 93 00:06:21,820 --> 00:06:25,860 These marks that you see are knife marks and scissor marks. 94 00:06:26,580 --> 00:06:31,340 This is where Zach, and this is a punch, where Zach was trying to kill Raya. 95 00:06:31,940 --> 00:06:33,240 Zach's story is fairly similar. 96 00:06:33,460 --> 00:06:35,800 Probably bigger holes because Ray got the bigger knife. 97 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,720 Growing up was difficult. 98 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,660 Mum and Dad were right at the top of the tree in the UK scene. 99 00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:46,480 They were wrestling 28 days a month because if they didn't work, they 100 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,480 get paid. 101 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,940 I think Zach is where I've seen every town in Britain since I was 10 or 11 102 00:06:54,940 --> 00:06:56,840 because me and Julie took him with us. 103 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,040 The entertainment business is a very tough business. 104 00:07:01,580 --> 00:07:06,100 to grow up in, and that's what we are. We're entertainers. So they live the 105 00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:10,500 traveler lifestyle on the road. That's why we're classed as travelers and 106 00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:11,500 gypsies. 107 00:07:13,260 --> 00:07:18,020 Growing up in a wrestling family, everyone assumed I wanted to be in 108 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:23,000 but wrestling actually terrified me because I grew up with it my whole life. 109 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,420 just scared me. And seeing the injuries, I mean, my mom was blinded for six 110 00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:29,380 months because she got dropkicked in the eye. 111 00:07:30,090 --> 00:07:31,330 It terrified me. 112 00:07:32,910 --> 00:07:37,470 If she gets another knock to the head, then she might lose sight forever. 113 00:07:39,290 --> 00:07:40,430 I don't want that. 114 00:07:41,130 --> 00:07:45,890 I believe that because everything in our life was about professional wrestling, 115 00:07:46,030 --> 00:07:48,610 it actually took her the other way. She didn't care for it, she wasn't 116 00:07:48,610 --> 00:07:49,610 interested in it. 117 00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:55,270 These books, this was the first project that we'd done it together. 118 00:07:55,850 --> 00:07:58,530 But this was all about Siberian Huskies, because obviously Raya didn't want to 119 00:07:58,530 --> 00:08:01,230 be a wrestler. She wanted to be a vet. 120 00:08:02,490 --> 00:08:07,670 That lasted until I was about 13, and then my dad was short on a girl one day. 121 00:08:09,470 --> 00:08:13,550 We were short with a girl for a tag match one night, and Raya was there, and 122 00:08:13,550 --> 00:08:16,870 went up to her and done what she'd done to me when she wanted something out of 123 00:08:16,870 --> 00:08:20,150 me. You know, put my arm around her, told her how much I love her, and she's 124 00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:22,730 princess, and we needed a girl to go on. 125 00:08:23,310 --> 00:08:26,410 Her... playground really with the wrestling ring so even though she never 126 00:08:26,410 --> 00:08:30,830 taught a move she knew the move because she didn't know anything else the 127 00:08:30,830 --> 00:08:35,490 youngest female wrestler in british wrestling today will you welcome 128 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,640 She was terrified. She was just like, no, I can't do this. I don't want to be 129 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,539 front of the audience. 130 00:08:43,539 --> 00:08:47,500 You know, I'm only used to getting in the ring with Zach and I've only ever 131 00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:50,960 worked with him and him throwing me around and Dad just looked at me and 132 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,440 well, we can sort that. Will you welcome the Pink Lady! 133 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,940 So at 14, I was under a Pink Power Ranger outfit wrestling my sister on her 134 00:09:02,940 --> 00:09:04,760 debut match just to make her feel comfortable. 135 00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:30,640 The adrenaline that you get from the three people that were in the crowd that 136 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,620 night, they made me feel a million bucks. And I just, I absolutely loved 137 00:09:40,849 --> 00:09:42,890 That's the thing that she fell in love with instantly. 138 00:09:43,210 --> 00:09:45,850 She'd come back, and she was extremely overwhelmed. 139 00:09:46,210 --> 00:09:50,170 She was very excited, and she was just saying, like, this is what I was born to 140 00:09:50,170 --> 00:09:51,170 do. 141 00:09:55,410 --> 00:10:01,410 Ladies and gentlemen, the youngest member of the Knight Dynasty, Brittany 142 00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:02,670 Knight! 143 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,140 Kind of had a little bit of a chuckle about, you know, she looks like Britney 144 00:10:09,140 --> 00:10:12,060 Spears, and also Britney is an anagram of Brit. 145 00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:15,820 Britney night is the next big thing here at WAW. 146 00:10:16,260 --> 00:10:18,740 She could hit as good as the rest of the guys. 147 00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:21,800 She could fly as well as the rest of the guys. 148 00:10:23,220 --> 00:10:27,920 After I had my first match, I realized that's what I wanted to do, and there 149 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,400 nothing that was going to stop me from doing it. I was just so focused on 150 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,120 wrestling that I just did not care about anything else. 151 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,180 I was sending resumes out to all these different independent promotions, like, 152 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,200 all over Europe. 153 00:10:39,420 --> 00:10:42,640 She started work for me full -time, and the next thing I know, she's flying all 154 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,300 over Europe, and on her own back, 15 -year -old. 155 00:10:45,980 --> 00:10:48,840 Broken away from the family, she's gone her own way. 156 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,920 It's the maturation process of the greatest women's wrestler in this 157 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,200 today, Brittany Knight. 158 00:10:56,180 --> 00:10:59,380 You go, like, I need you next Saturday, but not here, Dad.

He wanted to do a documentary on Rick. 178 00:12:11,450 --> 00:12:16,010 It just so happened that Raya and Zach got the call -up for WWE to go and do 179 00:12:16,010 --> 00:12:21,610 their trials, and old Max's ears pricked up, and it was like, OK, 180 00:12:21,850 --> 00:12:26,150 I really love you, Rick, and I'll always be a fan of you, but can I do this 181 00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:27,430 documentary on your family? 182 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,780 and your kid's journey, because I think that's a really cool, like, edge to it. 183 00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:35,700 Okay, we're about four miles from the O2 Arena. 184 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,480 Is your palm sweaty? 185 00:12:38,820 --> 00:12:39,820 Oh, my God. 186 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:46,540 These are the tryouts where all the wrestlers on the show, like, for 187 00:12:46,740 --> 00:12:48,240 were surrounding the ring. 188 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,860 My sister, she knows how to work the room. She's got that presence that when 189 00:12:52,860 --> 00:12:53,860 talks, people listen. 190 00:12:54,270 --> 00:12:58,070 So she smashed her promo. She smashed her ring ring trial.

And then he looked at me and was like, 194 00:13:06,430 --> 00:13:07,510 they're not taking you, buddy. 195 00:13:09,450 --> 00:13:12,830 And I remember just seeing how deflated my brother was there. And that just 196 00:13:12,830 --> 00:13:16,410 broke my heart. So I was just like, what about my brother? Like, why can't he 197 00:13:16,410 --> 00:13:17,410 come with me? 198 00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:20,750 Her initial reaction was for me. 199 00:13:22,540 --> 00:13:25,600 which is something I'll never forget, because at that time she must have been 200 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,900 bursting at the seams with excitement knowing that she'd achieved it. 201 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,840 I didn't want to be overly happy in front of him, but inside I was just 202 00:13:33,940 --> 00:13:35,940 oh, my gosh, like, I made it. 203 00:13:36,980 --> 00:13:39,560 This is my WWE contract. 204 00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:43,620 I got FedExed it a couple of days ago.

They're like, we need a name. 266 00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:12,599 So I came up with a list, and one of the names I chose was Paige, and that's 267 00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:17,339 because I grew up watching Charmed, and there was Rose McGowan on there, who was 268 00:17:17,339 --> 00:17:20,339 absolutely beautiful, pale with a butt chin, which is me. 269 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,420 From Norwich, England, Paige! 270 00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:29,000 Well, we finally figured out at least one thing.

But as there was, like, the rumblings of NXT beginning and 276 00:17:55,570 --> 00:17:58,870 understanding, okay, there's, like, this new show that's going to be happening, 277 00:17:58,950 --> 00:18:03,030 and there's, like, the TV side of it that was being attached to it. 278 00:18:04,170 --> 00:18:05,870 This is a massive deal for us. 279 00:18:06,070 --> 00:18:11,410 It'll be fun to be in 60 different countries and possibly be online, so 280 00:18:11,410 --> 00:18:14,170 looking forward to the opportunity.

I can't believe it. 356 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,120 I've been trying to get through my whole wrestling career. 357 00:23:55,820 --> 00:23:58,840 So this is literally my dream come true. 358 00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:02,220 She's left me speechless on more than one occasion, that little. 359 00:24:06,140 --> 00:24:10,720 I asked Paige how her life has changed over the past week since winning the 360 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,920 Divas title, and she told me, people know me now. 361 00:24:14,990 --> 00:24:18,510 I just won this championship, and then there was an influx of people just 362 00:24:18,510 --> 00:24:20,490 knowing who I was, and that was really intimidating. 363 00:24:20,690 --> 00:24:25,150 And then the next week that I wrestled, it was like, oh, I'm really here. I'm 364 00:24:25,150 --> 00:24:26,430 really on the main roster now. 365 00:24:26,670 --> 00:24:31,250 Being called up means that you're getting the call from NXT up to the main 366 00:24:31,250 --> 00:24:33,050 roster.

Please welcome WWE Diva Hayes. 373 00:24:53,030 --> 00:24:56,230 And back at it again with the Facebook Live. 374 00:25:00,150 --> 00:25:03,750 It was definitely a whirlwind. Like, I was on all the live events. Like, I was 375 00:25:03,750 --> 00:25:08,510 very, very busy. And then they asked me a couple months in if I want to be part 376 00:25:08,510 --> 00:25:09,510 of Total Divas. 377 00:25:15,149 --> 00:25:18,290 Total Divas was a reality show that started in 2013. 378 00:25:18,550 --> 00:25:22,190 It was the first ever look at the lives of women in WWE, and, like, there was 379 00:25:22,190 --> 00:25:24,510 never, ever, ever a shortage of drama on that show. 380 00:25:25,130 --> 00:25:29,750 I was just like, as long as it doesn't affect my storylines in wrestling, like, 381 00:25:29,790 --> 00:25:31,470 I would absolutely love to be a part of Total Divas. 382 00:25:32,330 --> 00:25:33,790 I felt cool. 383 00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:38,390 I was young. I was, like, 21. I was like, I had not had a childhood at that 384 00:25:38,390 --> 00:25:39,390 point. 385 00:25:40,580 --> 00:25:44,960 I have friends finally. I didn't have any friends even up to that point. 386 00:25:48,620 --> 00:25:53,320 You're constantly showing emotions. When there's cameras around, you want to put 387 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,120 your guard up, but when you stand up for a reality show, you're not allowed to. 388 00:25:56,340 --> 00:25:59,760 It's hard because you know you're going to be judged for the way you think, the 389 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,700 way you act, the way you do anything. 390 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,760 Because I have one weekend where I mess up, everyone's going to judge me for it. 391 00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:09,680 She's always loved the spotlight. 392 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,800 But I think finding her feet and making mistakes made the internet harder for 393 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,920 her, which made her self -esteem take a little bit of a knock. 394 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:27,180 I feel like any celebrity is going to have just haters online. 395 00:26:27,380 --> 00:26:30,280 Of course, I think it affects her negatively sometimes. 396 00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:35,880 I had that fight with myself all the time, like, will I ever feel like I'm 397 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,160 enough? Being in the ring and being at the show was perfect. 398 00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:45,020 It was not being able to deal with the outside life of it. 399 00:26:49,220 --> 00:26:53,660 And there is the woman who spearheaded the diva revolution, Paige. 400 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,320 Paige embodied that pretty different female performer. 401 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,880 It really showed the company that they could put faith in the women. 402 00:27:08,590 --> 00:27:15,070 If you don't like the world that you live in, you have the 403 00:27:15,070 --> 00:27:17,190 power to change it. 404 00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:23,310 Diva's era is behind us now at this point. All these amazing things are 405 00:27:23,310 --> 00:27:24,370 happening for the women. 406 00:27:26,050 --> 00:27:27,990 Diva's revolution is finally starting. 407 00:27:28,190 --> 00:27:31,230 People are taking us more seriously. We have all these wonderful women coming 408 00:27:31,230 --> 00:27:33,010 up. And then I go, huh. 409 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,380 You know, I had my first neck injury. 410 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,540 It was a lot of wearing tear because, you know, I love to bump around. 411 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,320 I couldn't feel anything down my arm. And then it started coming back, but 412 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,500 it was like pins and needles, and I couldn't even hold a cup. 413 00:27:47,740 --> 00:27:51,440 Let's say it could be anywhere from a week of physical therapy to six weeks. 414 00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:54,540 Possibly surgery. I mean, we're going to lay it all out there. 415 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,200 Hopefully surgery is a small percentage. Probably talk anywhere from eight to 416 00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,200 ten months. 417 00:27:59,420 --> 00:28:02,480 You never get to reap the benefits of your sacrifices. 418 00:28:03,230 --> 00:28:08,410 And I feel like she sacrificed so much to help the women's revolution. 419 00:28:08,870 --> 00:28:14,910 I can't even imagine what that must be like because if your heart and soul is 420 00:28:14,910 --> 00:28:19,330 one thing and it's the one thing you can't touch, I don't know how you deal 421 00:28:19,330 --> 00:28:20,330 that. 422 00:28:23,310 --> 00:28:24,950 I've never not worked. 423 00:28:25,730 --> 00:28:32,250 And so that was when everything just started going wrong. 424 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:39,380 I was in an awful relationship at the time, and then I had awful friends 425 00:28:39,380 --> 00:28:44,520 me, and just people that weren't good for my mental health or just a good 426 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,020 influence on me whatsoever. 427 00:28:48,700 --> 00:28:55,540 I was just drinking, and then the pain never fully went away on my neck. So 428 00:28:55,540 --> 00:29:00,620 I wanted to try and take the pain away, and then it was like Percocet. 429 00:29:01,020 --> 00:29:07,180 I love those. And then I started doing a lot of cocaine, too. 430 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,420 In the beginning, when you try and help, you know, you get told to back off very 431 00:29:14,420 --> 00:29:15,420 abruptly. 432 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,700 I would always try to stay in touch with her as much as I could, but honestly, 433 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,700 it was really hard sometimes to stay in touch with her, whether she's not 434 00:29:24,700 --> 00:29:25,720 responding to text. 435 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,680 Did she change her phone number? 436 00:29:28,260 --> 00:29:31,720 What is going on? It was definitely a really scary time. 437 00:29:32,540 --> 00:29:36,000 There was a period of time where I hadn't heard from her for months, and I 438 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,900 remember, I don't know if I'm ever going to see her again. 439 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,980 I was just in a very, very bad place mentally. 440 00:29:43,220 --> 00:29:44,780 I was completely broken down. 441 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,060 And then, in the middle of that, I had some sex tapes released to me from when 442 00:29:50,060 --> 00:29:51,060 was 19 years old. 443 00:29:55,020 --> 00:29:59,740 People were just so mean to me, even in the street and stuff like that. Then I 444 00:29:59,740 --> 00:30:01,740 started doing more drugs and drinking more. 445 00:30:04,380 --> 00:30:06,140 She was getting night terrors. 446 00:30:06,540 --> 00:30:08,780 She was freaking out. 447 00:30:09,460 --> 00:30:12,600 She couldn't sleep. She couldn't eat. She was losing weight. 448 00:30:13,340 --> 00:30:18,480 I thought that my family hated me. I thought WWE hated me. 449 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:21,700 I'm going to be open. 450 00:30:22,780 --> 00:30:23,780 I was cutting myself. 451 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,320 I was just like, I never thought I'd be like that, that pleasant to do that and 452 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,840 stuff like that. But once you're in that mindset where you just like can't feel 453 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:32,840 anything else. 454 00:30:35,820 --> 00:30:38,580 Absolutely convinced. I was like, this is it. I don't want to be around 455 00:30:38,740 --> 00:30:42,260 I'm just going to kill myself. That's what I wanted to do. 456 00:30:42,740 --> 00:30:46,080 I feel like people have lost respect for everything that I've done. And the 457 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,400 thing that they're going to remember me by is a freaking sex tape. 458 00:30:52,490 --> 00:30:55,930 My daughter was about five and a half stone, dripping wet. 459 00:30:56,370 --> 00:30:57,850 You could see her ribcage. 460 00:30:58,950 --> 00:31:02,550 Like, she was a skeleton with skin on it. 461 00:31:03,310 --> 00:31:05,610 And that's how my little girl came to me. 462 00:31:06,570 --> 00:31:07,970 Oh, I'm sorry, I'm getting angry. 463 00:31:10,670 --> 00:31:17,490 So my beautiful little princess, that was feisty and strong, was 464 00:31:17,490 --> 00:31:18,490 broken. 465 00:31:20,170 --> 00:31:22,870 I called my dad and I said, I'm so sorry. 466 00:31:26,030 --> 00:31:31,330 But the first thing my dad said, 467 00:31:32,450 --> 00:31:33,450 he was so supportive. 468 00:31:33,990 --> 00:31:38,790 He was like, you had sex, everyone does it. He was like, unfortunately, you're 469 00:31:38,790 --> 00:31:44,150 in the public eye and you have a lot more spotlight on you. And he was like, 470 00:31:44,150 --> 00:31:45,930 just have to be strong enough to get through it. 471 00:31:47,219 --> 00:31:51,500 Being told by my dad that it's okay, like, it made me feel a little bit 472 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:52,600 which is good. 473 00:31:54,180 --> 00:31:58,140 It was 474 00:31:58,140 --> 00:32:04,680 just a whole whirlwind of just 475 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,060 absolute craziness in the space of, like, a year. 476 00:32:09,180 --> 00:32:13,380 Eventually, something, like, just really snapped, and I was just like, I'm so 477 00:32:13,380 --> 00:32:14,920 tired of living like this. 478 00:32:15,290 --> 00:32:18,950 Like, I just wake up feeling awful. I spend my days feeling awful. 479 00:32:19,210 --> 00:32:21,990 Like, I just got very tired of living the way I was living. 480 00:32:23,310 --> 00:32:26,970 But WWE, the whole time, were constantly trying to reach out to me and 481 00:32:26,970 --> 00:32:30,350 constantly trying to help me. And they brought me to Connecticut. And, you 482 00:32:30,350 --> 00:32:33,830 they asked me if I needed help. And eventually, you know, I did ask for 483 00:32:33,830 --> 00:32:36,930 help. I was like, I really want to go back to Florida now. 484 00:32:37,150 --> 00:32:41,730 And they booked my flight literally the same day. They were like, get your 485 00:32:41,730 --> 00:32:42,730 stuff, get on this flight. 486 00:32:43,950 --> 00:32:48,910 Once she started reconnecting with the people that she cared about, I 487 00:32:48,910 --> 00:32:50,830 noticed a positive change in her. 488 00:32:52,430 --> 00:32:56,050 When I saw Paige at the Performance Center, she looked great. She seemed 489 00:32:56,050 --> 00:32:57,070 she was in a better place. 490 00:32:58,190 --> 00:33:03,690 And I think she just really wanted to get back to where she was and to regain 491 00:33:03,690 --> 00:33:04,690 what she had lost. 492 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,800 We are here at Raw in Houston, Texas, and this is my, well, my official first 493 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,800 week back. 494 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,680 She got cleared to compete again in 2017, and even though she was off the 495 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,580 and the drugs, I still believe that she was having a big fight with mental 496 00:33:33,580 --> 00:33:34,580 health. 497 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,280 My first day back on the road was the most intimidating thing ever because I 498 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,800 thought, okay, I'm back on the road. 499 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,820 What's everyone's reaction going to be? Are they going to judge me because of 500 00:33:43,820 --> 00:33:45,920 these tapes? Are they going to judge me because I was an addict? 501 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,580 I was really scared. 502 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,080 Yay! 503 00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:56,920 Walking in, everyone was just so happy. 504 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,840 They all just said, we thought you were going to die.

You're incredibly talented. 544 00:37:05,380 --> 00:37:10,760 Especially if it's not on your own terms, it's the most heartbreaking thing 545 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,220 that can happen to a wrestler is to be taken out. 546 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,780 And I'm just like, I don't know what to do. 547 00:37:18,660 --> 00:37:19,920 I'm just not wrestling anymore. 548 00:37:34,690 --> 00:37:35,690 No. Seriously? 549 00:37:36,090 --> 00:37:37,630 I wish I could hug you, baby. 550 00:38:08,110 --> 00:38:12,610 to neck injuries, I can no longer perform as an in -ring competitor. 551 00:38:18,810 --> 00:38:22,310 This is one of the hardest things I'll ever have to say in my entire career. 552 00:38:36,330 --> 00:38:38,630 is where I debuted on the Divas Championship. 553 00:38:40,530 --> 00:38:44,490 And four years later, New Orleans is where I want to retire. 554 00:38:44,810 --> 00:38:48,790 This will always be my house. 555 00:38:58,550 --> 00:39:02,110 And straight away, you flash back to what you've just gone through. 556 00:39:02,860 --> 00:39:07,200 For those couple of years, you've seen her down and out and at her worst, and 557 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,620 you're sitting there thinking, are we going to have to go through this again? 558 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,520 Is this going to be worse this time? 559 00:39:12,020 --> 00:39:15,800 But the saving grace is that she'd been through all of that. 560 00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:20,180 At this point in my life, I knew that I still wasn't going to hit rock bottom. 561 00:39:20,260 --> 00:39:22,800 This is not going to be an excuse for me to start drinking and doing drugs 562 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:23,800 again. 563 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,540 And having someone there that actually supports you and wants you to be healthy 564 00:39:28,540 --> 00:39:32,000 and has your best interest, it helps motivate you. 565 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,520 Ronnie and Raya have been friends before they were in a relationship. 566 00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:41,460 He brought the smile back to Raya. 567 00:39:42,020 --> 00:39:46,120 I don't like taking credit. I don't. I think she genuinely just kind of saved 568 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,840 herself, you know. We just completely stopped drinking together. 569 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,540 And we both decided to go vegan and stuff like that. 570 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,420 The way that she carries herself, she's been special. 571 00:40:08,990 --> 00:40:15,830 The whole movie was done by the time that I got back from my 572 00:40:15,830 --> 00:40:17,170 neck and got over drugs. 573 00:40:18,310 --> 00:40:19,570 What's up, you guys? 574 00:40:21,690 --> 00:40:26,970 I was just really, really happy that it just grew to, like, what it was. The 575 00:40:26,970 --> 00:40:29,450 insecurity kept peeking around, and I was just like... 576 00:40:29,790 --> 00:40:32,470 The movie, people aren't going to be interested in my story. 577 00:40:33,350 --> 00:40:40,030 To have done all that she has by her mid -20s is pretty incredible. And I think 578 00:40:40,030 --> 00:40:42,970 the beautiful thing is, for her, her story is definitely not over. 579 00:40:45,750 --> 00:40:50,530 My daughter's had mountains to climb and to tumble down the other side of. 580 00:40:51,410 --> 00:40:55,450 But she's only 30, and she's accomplished so much. 581 00:40:56,550 --> 00:40:57,730 And I feel... 582 00:40:58,140 --> 00:41:02,200 that my daughter's got to live another seven lifetimes before she's finished. 583 00:41:06,060 --> 00:41:12,780 One thing Soraya has left us in her legacy here is using your voice and not 584 00:41:12,780 --> 00:41:16,800 being afraid of who you are. And when I see what the women are doing today, I 585 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,720 know that Paige has been such a massive part of that. 586 00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:24,220 At the end of the day, WWE can give you the platform. 587 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,900 Or they can give you, you know, the brass ring. This is what you do with it 588 00:41:27,900 --> 00:41:28,900 afterwards. 589 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,520 Still young. That's what I always thought. Still young. Still gorgeous. 590 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,220 You're always going to be talented. 591 00:41:34,660 --> 00:41:38,100 She's got that charisma. She's got the character. She's got the confidence. 592 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:39,560 She's got that spark. 593 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,400 Put a camera in front of her and everything just lights up. People love 594 00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:44,500 She's infectious. 595 00:41:44,740 --> 00:41:47,420 At 30 years old, the world truly is her oyster. 596 00:41:48,060 --> 00:41:51,660 You can do anything you put your mind to, and that's a very corny thing to 597 00:41:51,700 --> 00:41:52,700 I suppose, but... 598 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,440 She's shown that that's the truth. The sky's the limit and she has not reached 599 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:58,520 her full potential yet. 600 00:41:59,900 --> 00:42:03,160 I got Ronnie, my family, there's a movie about my life. 601 00:42:03,700 --> 00:42:07,220 I can't complain because everything is still so wonderful. 602 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,760 I'm proud of what I've done and I'm proud of what I could potentially do in 603 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:12,760 future too.
