5 Best Moments From SummerSlams 1998-2002
Austin asked Paige which former Divas and Superstars paved the way for her to get interested in wrestling.
"Well, Diva-wise I looked up to Bull Nakano," Paige said. "Which obviously, I do her submission, but a little bit modified. I looked up to Lita, I dressed up as her. She was a bad ass. I actually dressed up as Lita for Halloween before. I stole my mom's underwear and had her underwear up to my shoulder blades before. It was like, disgusting, but...My mom was like, 'Are you wearing my underwear?' And I was like, 'Yeah, I'm Lita mum.' But yeah, I dressed up as her."

The two-time Divas Champion also said she loved growing up watching Austin.
"And you, I was obsessed with you," Paige told Austin. "It was mostly your character. It was just so cool when I was growing up. I was like, man this is a guy coming down...drinking beers and flipping people off, this is madness. Oh I was like in l-- and I'm gonna embarrass myself -- I was in love with you. I was like, 'This guy's awesome.'"
Paige has been a part of the ongoing Divas revolution and she credited Triple H with being responsible for it.
NXT Divas Becky Lynch and Charlotte were recently called up to align themselves with Paige and the trio has named themselves the Submission Sorority because Lynch has the Disarm-Her finisher, Paige uses the PTO and Charlotte utilizes the Figure Eight.
The triad is currently involved in a feud with Team B.A.D. (Beautiful & Dangerous) which consists of NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks, Naomi and Tamina and Team Bella, WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox.
The three trios are sure to play a major role in SummerSlam come Aug. 23 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
