► In Saraya's words
OH, my God. May Dusty rest. I loved him very much. But promos classes were difficult, and you had to learn to adapt on the fly, which I appreciate. Because that experience served me when I reached the main roster. We did these promos and he said: 'Yes, it wasn't good enough. So here you have something to talk about, go ahead. ' And then he said: 'Leeake (Roman Reigns), honey, get up and sit next to Paige.' So he got up and sat next to me. And then he said: 'Okay, Paige, love, he is your ex -boyfriend. He left you and took your toaster. ' And I eat: 'Shit! What is supposed to tell this guy? ' He had just known him. I had only two weeks in WWE, and I already had to do these promos. 'Hello, strange, I have to pretend that you are my ex who stole my toaster.' So I started talking to him, and I was so embarrassed, because he is a big guy, strong, it's Roman Reigns! It's like Hercules. Very sorry.
It made me do a lot of things like that. He told me: 'Okay, Paige, love, you open a letter, and you have to cross all your emotions while you read it.' Again, apparently they were always leaving me, because it was like: 'Your boyfriend is leaving you.' And I eat: 'shit, that's fine.' And I had to go through joy, sadness, emotion, anger and all that. But I was not allowed to say a word. Everything should be with facial expressions. So I only looked at the letter, and I think I was doing well. But I was so embarrassed.
At that point I had been there for a year, so I felt comfortable with Dusty. And he told me: 'I want you to limit what you say. I want you to be more mysterious. ' So I, 'ok'. I wanted you to make promos of a certain duration, but without saying anything. And I thought, 'What the hell? How are you supposed to do this? ' I remember that one day I was very tired, in a bad mood, I was already fed up, so I entered and released a shit promo. And in front of everyone, he said: 'I asked for baked chicken and you gave me chicken shit.' And I shouted: 'Go to hell, Dusty!' I was stomping to the girls' locker room, I closed the door of a door, and then heard they played. And he says: 'Is my porcelain princess here?' And me: 'Go, Dusty. I don't want to talk to you. ' And he: 'Get out of there.' So I left and said: 'I'm very sorry.' Because I was my boss. 'I shouldn't have to speak to you like that, Dusty. I'm really sorry. And he replied: 'Okay, love, come, sit down.'
We sat on the stairs and told me: 'I want you to succeed. You have to give 110% each time, even if it is in front of your classmates, even if there are only five people in the public. Always gives 110%. ' And he told me that it would always be honest with me, I liked it or not. And I understood. I said: 'I'm sorry, you were right.' I went out of line, made a half promo and went wrong. He told me that I was like his broken toy compared to the rest of the divas, because he was the misfit of the group: beautiful blonde women, tanned, and I was this pale Gothic. He told me: 'You are my broken toy, honey. I just want to fix you and get up again. ' And I thought: 'Yes, you're right.' ANDXtraño a lot to Dusty. May you rest. They have spent 10 years.
And he told me: 'No one calls me a fucking son.' And I: 'You're right. I'm very sorry, Dusty. I shouldn't call that in front of everyone. ' But she was very angry with him. I love him.»
