Paige tried to tell WWE Creative that 'Submission Sorority' was a really porn-y name

Of the many mis-steps and questionable decisions WWE has made in the #DivasRevolution, the couple of days in early August when the company inadvertantly advertised for the porn industry almost get lost in the shuffle.

But the week spent backtracking away from calling Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Paige "Submission Sorority" before punting and just calling them "PCB" was a public relations speed bump on the road to a more prominent role for women's wrestling. It was also probably something that a considerable amount of effort went into, considering that there was a logo design ready for rollout as soon as Michael Cole said the name on television,  and the prominent role the faction has played in the Divas championship storyline since SummerSlam.

Who knows what effect making the heroes of the revolution sound like escapees from a barely legal S & M story had, or how much more over any of the three would be if they were known by something other than an acronym. BUt according to the main roster veteran of the group, she tried to warn them.

Paige, speaking at the Wizard World Comic Con in San Jose, California earlier this month (quotes via Wrestling, Inc), said that she told Creative that they were heading for the exact problem they ran into days after rolling out the name on the August 3 Raw:

I said to a couple of the writers, I was like, "dude, Submission Sorority? Don't let children Google that. So we have to, like, change it."

And they were like, "oh, we'll speak with Vince [McMahon] at some point."

And, I'm like, "okay". And then I see we get called the Submission Sorority on RAW the next day, there are millions of people watching, and then suddenly people are like, "oh great, you're in a porn group".

It's not the only thing the Total Divas star says she's tried to assist with in the booking and presentation of women. She went as far back as last November's Survivor Series for a story about one of the biggest fan complaints...the muddling of face/heel roles in the division:

I knew it was going to turn out the way it did because I was on the bad guys' side, but I said to them, "there's five girls against one girl, even if she's a bad guy, [the audience] is going to support the one by herself" and that's how it turned out.

The whole crowd ended up turning on the good guys and chanting for me instead, but it's just like, "okay, so you're dumb. I told you this."

The second-generation wrestler went on to answer a question about how she'd change the WWE's women's scene, calling for more matches with stipulations, a Money in the Bank contract for the Divas title, an all-female pay-per-view (PPV) and a main event spot on a regular PPV for the Divas.

Should we just give Paige the book, Cagesiders?
