-Welcome to the show. -Yeah.
-We are so excited to have you here.
-We accidentally all dressed the same today, and...
[ Laughter and cheers ] -I know. I didn't get the memo.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-I showed up looking like the librarian.
-It's really embarrassing for you.
-I know. Gosh. -Really embarrassing, yeah.
-Now, welcome to the show.
I just finished talking about the impact
of the WWE's Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia.
But, Natalya and Alexa, you wrestled in the Middle East.
What was that like?
-Well, for me, being able to wrestle in Saudi Arabia
was, like, a life-changing experience.
But it was bigger than me. But it was bigger than WWE.
It was a transcending experience for women around the world.
-Mm-hmm. [ Cheers and applause ]
So, yes.
-What about you?
-Sasha Banks and I had the first women's title match
in Abu Dhabi, which was incredible.
We didn't know how we were gonna be
percepted and perceived,
and it was incredible. -Mm-hmm.
-And everyone was so supportive.
And to come back and know that the women's evolution
isn't just here -- it's global...
-Mm-hmm. -...it was incredible.
-Absolutely. -Yes!
-Yes! [ Cheers and applause ]
-Now, Natalya and Paige,
you both have back-- family backgrounds in wresting,
but, Alexa, you don't. -I sure don't.
-So, how did your -- I'm gonna ask the question
that people always ask me, 'cause I'm brown --
but how did your family react... -Well --
-...when you said, "I want to be a wrestler"?
-So, it was after college, and I didn't want to adult yet.
I told -- I told my -- [ Laughter ]
-Preach! -Yeah.
[ Laughter ] [ Cheers and applause ]
I told my mom. I was like, "Hey, I know what I'm gonna do."
I was like, "I'm -- I'm gonna sign up,"
'cause there was a thing -- a link.
That's how I actually -- went to wwe.com,
sent in a link, made a video -- it was a whole thing.
I was like, "I'm going to try out to be in WWE."
And she goes, "[Laughs] The hell you are."
[ Laughter ]
-How do they feel now? -Oh, my God. Amazing.
-That is funny how that works. -They're her biggest fans.
-Right. [ Cheers and applause ]
-It's funny how that works, huh? -Yeah.
-Paige, you obviously have a movie.
I -- By the way, I loved it -- "Fighting with My Family."
-Ah. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Produced... [ Cheers and applause continue ]
Produced by the one and only "The Rock."
So, tell me... -Yes!
-...how -- how did you... -Whatever.
-It's cazh. It's whatevs. -Yes.
Whatever, you guys.
-How did you first meet, and what was that like?
-I was at WrestleMania, and I get a text on my phone,
and it was just like, "Hey, it's DJ.
If you've got time, I'd love to see you."
And I'm like, "Who the [bleep] is DJ?"
Sorry for cussing.
"And why is he texting my phone?"
Like, 'cause -- I was, like, very uncomfortable about it.
I was like, "Who's this guy texting my phone?"
-Yeah. [ Chuckles ] -And then,
I was next to Dean Malenko, who's an old-school wrestler,
and he was just like,
"Uh, that's Dwayne Johnson, you idiot."
And I was like, "What?!" [ Laughter ]
I was like, "Oh, my God!
Dwayne Johnson just texted my phone!"
So I was just like, "Uh [scoffs] yeah, sure.
Like, I'm here. Like, whenever, dude.
Like, whenever you..." [ Laughter ]
And he was just like, "Hey, so, I was watching --
I was watching -- I was filming 'Fast & Furious' in England,
and I stumbled across your family's documentary,
'Fighting with My Family.'"
And he was like, "I loved your family.
They just -- Like, they're so similar to mine.
I love the dynamic.
And, yeah, I want to make a movie about it."
And I'm like, "Okay." [ Laughter ]
"Great." -"Sure, whatever, yeah."
-I was like, "Right."
And then he was like, "Oh, and by the way,
tomorrow, you're gonna be debuting on WWETV,
and you're gonna win the Divas Championship."
And I'm like..."What?" [ Laughter and cheers ]
And I just started, like, crying my eyes out.
And I'm like -- booger bubbles flying everywhere.
My... [ Laughter ]
And I'm just like looking at it.
I'm like, "Why are you lying to me?"
And he's just like throwing me tissues,
like, "Yo, you good?"
Like... [ Laughter ]
He was like, "And by the way, keep this between us.
No one's supposed to know."
So I'm like -- [ Gasps ] "Uh, alright."
So, I'm walking out, and I'm trying to, like, act casual.
We have hundreds of people backstage at WrestleMania.
And I walk out of his dressing room,
and Tamina, who is his cousin, like, is about to walk in.
It looks really weird --
me waking out of his dressing room in the first place.
And she's like, "Uh, hey, sis, what you doing in there?"
And I'm like, "I'm just a really big fan of Dwayne!"
[ Laughter ] I just, like, kept on walking.
But that's how it all came about.
-So, you had a good day, I guess, then?
-Wonderful! -Wonderful! I get it, though.
I'm with you. -And sorry for cussing.
I already got told not to cuss. -No, listen.
We are on at 1:30 a.m. You do you.
