Paige Reveals She is Currently Working on New Reality Show Series

A recent episode of the Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia podcast had Paige as the guest and one of the topics discussed included Paige revealing that she is currently working on a new reality show series.

“I think me and Ronnie having a reality show together…I’ve been throwing bits and pieces here and all these producers are hitting me up about it. I’ve been trying to focus on trying to get mine and Ronnie’s brand out there a little bit more and then people can see more inside my life and remember me for something different. I just need to get my name back out there. I feel like I’ve gone quiet for a little bit now.”

Paige also revealed the reason why she was removed from the cast of Total Divas after five seasons with the series.

“I wasn’t wrestling anymore, so I understood their point. They were like, ‘We want you to be somewhat part of the show, but not a main cast member because you’re not wrestling. It’s about female wrestlers.’ I was like, ‘I totally get that, but I would rather not be part of the show at all unless it’s something important.’ I’m kind of happy that I took a step back from that. I feel like with ‘Total Divas’ there’s a lot of memories that I want to forget. I’ve had ex-boyfriends on there and I was a party animal. I want to have a new show where they can see the new me, the more adult me, and (how) focused and sober I am. I want to build something completely new, a fresh start kind of thing.”
