In a new interview with Digital Spy promoting WWE in Europe, WWE Divas Champion Paige had some fighting words for UFC Women's Champion Ronda Rousey and also talked about AJ Lee's possible return to WWE to challenge her to a title rematch. Paige also discussed her long-time WWE NXT rival Emma, Triple H transforming the developmental process and more.
Paige on AJ Lee Returning to WWE and Challenging Her To a Title Rematch:
"If she does come, great! I can't wait, because then it gives me more competition and I know she's going to be coming straight after me. She's going to be full of anger and she's going to be better than ever."

Paige on Wanting to Fight UFC Women's Champion Ronda Rousey:
"Non-wrestlers, it'd be [UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion] Ronda Rousey, because she's a badass and she's a big wrestling fan anyway."
CB's Analysis: I'd love to see Paige against both AJ Lee again in a longer WWE program, while the Paige vs. Ronda Rousey showdown would be a WrestleMania worthy attraction.
Paige on Her Longtime WWE NXT Rival Emma, Who Is Now on Raw:
"Emma is incredible, first of all. I really enjoyed every single match I had with her and she deserves everything that she's getting so far. She's really, really working hard - she's definitely a workhorse. She's just really happy. People have seen what she can do but not what she's so freaking fantastic at. It's good that people are seeing it bit by bit. If we just saw it all in our face already, people are going to get tired quickly. The way she's growing at the minute, she's doing great. You haven't seen the best of her yet, definitely not."
CB's Analysis: Paige vs. Emma on NXT was one of my favorite women's rivalries I've ever seen. While Emma is getting some camera time on Raw being paired with Santino, Paige is spot on when she says the mainstream WWE audience has not seen anywhere close to Emma's best just yet.

Paige on Triple H Transforming the WWE Developmental Process with NXT:
"When Triple H took it over and made it his baby he really, really jumpstarted it for us. I got a large fanbase just from NXT itself. It's an amazing brand. NXT's really, really helping. Everyone really enjoys it. It's a really short show and it's full of wrestling and people love the wrestling side of things too. They get what they want on Raw, they get what they want on NXT. I think it helps having NXT - you get to see the young talent before they come up here - it's great for everyone."
CB's Analysis: Triple H really did overhaul the entire developmental program and did an outstanding job with NXT. The NXT shows alone are worth the WWE Network subscription.
