One half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Lainey Reid, is discussing her time so far on the main roster. Her transition from NXT to SmackDown was quicker than some, but also along with her veteran ran Fatal Influence faction.
While appearing on Busted Open Radio, Reid discussed how she felt between going from NXT to the main roster.
“I feel like NXT in itself, you find yourself more as a team. There’s competition there but, it’s not the same. I think once you get up to the big leagues and you’re dealing with a lot more money and a lot more star power, there’s a lot of egos. There’s a lot of people who think this is right or that is right. It is different in the sense of these people don’t really have your back and they don’t want what’s best for you.”
Reid talks more of the differences she sees.
“Honestly, in a sense, I wish it was more so like that. I wish there was more of a — I don’t know if locker room leader is the word for it but, in a sense, I do wish there was somebody there that kind of made you — because that’s what it was when I came into NXT. There was people like Zoey Stark, there was people like Ivy Nile, and they taught you from the very beginning. They were just on you about anything. I remember being on my phone the first show and Zoey came over there and she rung my tail. I think we need things like that. I think we need people that stay and watch the show or we need people that make sure maybe the newest girls are the last ones to leave. I don’t know. I think there’s an order that I wouldn’t mind bringing back.”
When asked about the injury that current WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green suffered from Reid, Reid wishes she didn’t finish the job.
“I feel like the only remorse I have is the fact that she still has a chance to compete with the title. The remorse is that I didn’t finish the job.”
Jacy Jayne became the new WWE Women’s United States Champion on Friday. This makes the full Fatal Influence faction dripping in gold.
