Earlier this year former WWE Divas Champion Paige made a huge announcement when she informed the world that she would be retiring from in-ring competition.
Alberto Del Rio is a man who is quite familiar with Paige, as they were engaged to be married at one point, and during a recent interview with Chairshots to the Cranium, Alberto shared his thoughts on her status.
“Well to be honest my friend, I closed that book a long time ago. I wish nothing but the best to Paige. It’s too bad she cannot wrestle anymore. Cause like you just said it, she has a lot of talent. I remember saying this once, she could have been the most successful Diva of all-time, but things happen.”
During the interview the former WWE Champion also praised John Cena.
“John Cena is fantastic, seriously. I hate when people don’t give Cena the credit he deserves. These days, unfortunately, some fans – not all the fans, but some fans – they think just because you can do 1,000 moonsaults and you can do spot after spot, they think that’s pro wrestling. That’s not real pro wrestling. … If you can create that magic because you have the skills to take fans on a roller coaster of emotions, that’s real pro wrestling, and there’s no one better than Cena. I learned so much from him. That part about going out there having fun, hearing the crowd and trying different things to have a great match and entertain them. I always enjoyed my time in that company in those matches with him.”
