Sara talks about the way the fan vote went down and if it helped her, what kind of wrestler she wants to be, a possible feud with Tough judge and WWE Diva Paige, and more. You can read a few excerpts below:
Sara Lee talks Tough Enough; does she think the fan vote is why she won?
“It’s hard to say because the show would have had a different format. At the end of the day, the WWE is about who people want to see in the ring and see who they connect with. The fans chose who they wanted.”
Would she rather be a babyface or a heel?
“I’m open to whatever, because things are constantly changing in WWE. I’d have to work on my heel character a little bit. With the right tools, I think I could put together a good heel character. Whatever is asked of me, whatever the demands are, I’m ready to try it.”
Could she see a future rivalry with Paige happening?
“I think the foundation is definitely there for a good match with her someday. Outside of the ring, Paige is really cool and everything she says to me, I don’t take it personally. She’s just trying to help me improve. I take her suggestions and criticisms and learn from them. She’s one of my favorite WWE Divas.”
What will she miss most about living at home?
“I’m going to miss the beautiful scenery in Michigan. I’m also going to miss everyone I’ve grown up with. I’ll also miss our lake.”
