WWE's rising superstar Kiana James recently got candid about Tom Brady's comments about the industry. She sat down with TMZ's Inside The Ring ahead of the Women's Elimination Chamber and gave a stern response to NFL legend Tom Brady.
Tom Brady Called WWE "Cute" — James Has a Response
Brady's recent comments dismissing WWE drew plenty of reaction across the industry, and James had a measured but pointed take.
I don't want to fault anyone for their ignorance," she said. "When you're unfamiliar with something, it's fair that there is a level of ignorance there. But the best answer is to get him in a ring — have him run the ropes, have him take a bump, and then let's see what his answer is.
When hosts asked how a Brady vs. Logan Paul match would go, she didn't hesitate.
We all know that Logan Paul would whip his ass. No training. There's no question. I think Tom Brady would have to take the L immediately. Good luck — I love Tom Brady, but good luck.
Dream Tag Partners: The Kardashians
Given a free pick for a celebrity tag team match, James went full fan mode.
I'm such a Kardashian fan, so I would say two Kardashian sisters," she said. "I'm a Kim girl, but maybe Kim and Khloé. The Kardashians — so many eyes on that match just to see it.
What's in the Bag?
Kiana James' mysterious handbag has become one of the more entertaining ongoing questions in her WWE run, and James kept the mystique intact.
Full of secrets. Some documents — some secret documents. It might be weapons," she said. "There was a brick in there in NXT. Who knows what I've been stuffing in that bag for the last few weeks.
On the question of spicy backstage gossip, she said:
I don't have any spicy tea because I like to keep my handbag zipped.
Alliance with Giulia
Despite the corporate, transactional nature of their on-screen alliance, James had nothing but warmth for the WWE Women's United States Champion Giulia.
Giulia is like the sweetest ever," she said. "I'm so happy to be with her.
James also spoke to the practical element of their working relationship, noting she helps bridge the language barrier for 'The Beautiful Madness.'
This is a business. Backstage we have our general manager, we have talent, we have a locker room relationship — and I think I'm able to kind of bridge that gap for her.
James returned from over a year away due to a knee injury and now gearing up for the Women's Elimination Chamber on February 28th with a WrestleMania 42 championship opportunity on the line.
