Top Divas championship contender Paige is hoping to lead the charge for a British invasion in WWE – but only as long as her fellow Brits don’t leave her in the shade.

The Norwich-born star, whose immediate family are all wrestlers and promoters themselves, managed to catch up with mum Sweet Saraya and dad Ricky Knight at Friday’s live event at The O2 in London and told talkSPORT she wouldn’t mind seeing some familiar faces on a more regular basis at work.

With speculation a whole host of talents from the British wrestling scene could appear on NXT’s tour of the UK next month, Paige said she was pulling for brothers Zebra Kid and Zak Zodiac to shine for the sports entertainment juggernaut.

She told us: “This sounds so biased obviously, but my two brothers work so hard and they trained me and I just wish they could make it in the WWE one day.

“I would love for them to join me, even as a guest appearance. A guest Raw appearance, especially in England, would be perfect.”

Paige also singled out performers from her mum’s women’s wrestling promotion as stars she’d like to see strut their stuff with WWE.

“There are girls who I really love who are in Bellatrix,” said the 23-year-old.

“There’s Sammi Baynz and Liberty and endless amounts of wrestlers I grew up with.”

Paige added: “The more Brits the better. There’s only a handful of us [in WWE at the moment] so the more the merrier!

“But there is a cut off point. They can’t be stealing my spotlight!”

Paige, currently part of WWE’s tour of the UK and Europe, tackles champ Charlotte at Survivor Series – and intends to round out a year in which her profile has skyrocketed by winning back the belt she has held twice before.

Having been an outspoken judge on WWE’s Tough Enough, a charismatic guest on the Stone Cold Steve Austin Podcast and the company’s pick to appear on Conan O’Brien’s talk show, the crowd darling laughs off rumours from social media she was given a ticking off for dropping the f-bomb during a chat with over-excited fans on Periscope.

She smiled: “There was no fallout.

“I’m very loose with my tongue sometimes and I say things I don’t really mean.

“But you know what, as soon as I was on there, it was ‘Eff you, Paige.’ Well, eff you back!

“And that was it. There was no fallout, there was no nothing. You know how the internet goes – they take something and make it huge. They don’t know nothin’!

“They’ punished me by letting me go on Conan, yeah. Ugh!”

And despite being one of WWE’s most high-profile performers and relaxed interviewees, Paige admitted appearing on Conan’s late night show was a special occasion.

She said: “It was wild. My first time ever, so the nerves was crazy. And I asked if I could get a little bit of training beforehand, because I didn’t want to go on there and do what I do in most interviews where I’m being fidgety and I speak really quickly because I’m excited. And I play with my hair a lot. I thought: ‘I can’t do that on TV!’

“It definitely helped me and was really beneficial. It was very different because on a show like that the audience may not all be wrestling fans, or Total Divas fans, so a lot of people aren’t really going to know who you are. So you have to reintroduce yourself and really show your personality.”
