The WWE’s “Divas Revolution” was part of a new profile on Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard, talking about NXT women’s trainer Sara Amato, aka independent wrestling star Sara Del Rey.
Del Rey commented on coming to work with WWE in 2012, why her role is important to the new stars of WWE, and more. The article also profiles “members of the revolution” Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Charlotte. You can read a few excerpts below:
Sara Del Rey comments on accepting a trainer’s role with WWE:
“It’s a void not having a trainer for the Divas, and that’s an area that should be covered.
It was kind of my dream job, but it didn’t exist so I didn’t know if it was possible. It all happened so perfectly—in my mind at least. Performing wasn’t my passion. It is training and being in the ring and learning just the skills it takes to perform.”
Does she think NXT’s women will continue to prosper?
“Oh yeah, I think there’s going to be a very bright future for NXT Women’s division.”
