'Kenzie Paige versus Kamille for the NWA Women's World Championship. Still holds up. Still has a very emotional attachment to me, obviously. But I feel like that's the perfect representation of, I can hit hard, I can pull at your heart strings. And I can play dirty if I have to. I feel like that one's a perfect example of who Kenzie Paige is.'

During the same interview, Paige shared her thoughts on her long title reign.
'I feel like I'm not really too focused on the days that I have the championship. I just want to make sure that the days I do have it, it matters. And whenever my time does come and I'm not the NWA Women's Champion anymore, I want people to remember, 'Kenzie Paige, she did something with it. She did something for the NWA. Her being the champion was good for her but it was good for the NWA.' That's the kind of thing I want to focus on there.'

'But I also feel like, a lot of my run with the NWA has been history, right? The youngest NWA Women's Champion, first Triple Crown, first NWA Television Women's Champion. Just a lot of things. First woman to own a territory within the National Wrestling Alliance. And the youngest of course. But that is a lot of my reign and run at the National Wrestling Alliance is based on the fact that I've made history over, and over, and over, and over.'
Paige noted how her match against Natalya would be historical too, and for different reasons.
'I've just been trying to build up not only my name but the NWA. I'm trying to give back some of that prestige feeling and just… It matters to me, and I want it to matter to everybody else. So, being a part of the history, being in those historical matches, it does mean a lot to me. And I just want to keep doing that and keep growing it to what I know it can be.'

Update On Kamille's AEW Absence, When She Might Return
Kamille hasn't been seen in AEW for months, but is she any closer to returning? The former NWA Women's Champion signed with AEW last year and was aligned with Mercedes Moné. That alliance was short-lived, and Kamille hasn't been seen since their split more than six months ago. Advertisement According to a new report from Fightful (via Fightful Select), those close to Kamille have been quiet about her inactivity in AEW, but it's apparently for a good reason. The outlet reports that similar to Wardlow, Kamille is also busy working on a television project that will 'have her busy through part of the summer.' It's unclear if Kamille met with Tony Khan and decided to keep her off TV until the project is completed, and talent was said to be 'in the dark' about her absence. Some reportedly felt that Tony Khan soured on the partnership with Moné. Other sources clarified that Mercedes was willing to work with Kamille and do a match. The match didn't happen, but it was at least discussed back in December 2024. Kamille left TV after splitting from Mercedes Moné on the November 27, 2024 episode of Dynamite. Is Kamille still under AEW contract? Kamille still has 'plenty of time left on her AEW deal,' but has not wrestled this year, aside from a battle royal appearance in February. Her last match in AEW was a loss to Kris Statlander on the October 30, 2024 episode of Dynamite. Advertisement She and Damaris Lewis spoke with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard while promoting Queen of the Ring. The film features Kamille (billed as Kailey Latimer in the credits) as June Byers, while Lewis took on the role of Babs Wingo. Kamille was asked when fans could expect to see her back on TV. However, she indirectly declined to answer the question, and Lewis answered for her. 'My client has chosen not to comment on the matter at hand. But we are open to more questions,' Lewis replied.

What Time Is 2025 Belmont Stakes? How To Watch On Free TV And Streaming
SARATOGA SPRINGS, NEW YORK - JUNE 08: the 155th running of the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race ... More Course on June 08, 2024 in Saratoga Springs, New York. (Photo by) Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winners Sovereignty and Journalism are facing off in the 2025 Belmont Stakes this weekend. What time does the event start and where can you watch it live on free TV, cable and streaming? Because Sovereignty sat out the Preakness Stakes last month, it precluded the potential for the horse to become the 14th Triple Crown winner in the event's history. Following the Kentucky Derby, Sovereignty's trainer Bill Mott told reporters that the first priority was the well-being of the horse. "Of course, you always think about a Triple Crown, and that's not something we're not going to think about," Mott said (via ESPN). As such, Journalism, which finished second in the Kentucky Derby, went on to win the 2025 Preakness Stakes, creating a showdown with Sovereignty when both horses take part in the Belmont Stakes among a field of eight horses. The 157th running of the Belmont Stakes is set for Saturday at the Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and post time is 7:04 p.m. ET/4:04 p.m. PT. The 2025 Belmont Stakes will be broadcast live on FOX on free TV and on cable on FS1. In addition, a livestream of the race will be available on the FOX Sports app. Coverage of the 2025 Belmont Stakes begins on broadcast, cable and streaming at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT. LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY - MAY 03: Sovereignty #18, ridden by jockey Junior Alvarado, pushes ahead of ... More Journalism #8 to win the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 03, 2025 in Louisville, Kentucky. (Photo by) Eight horses are vying to win the 2025 Belmont Stakes. Here's the list of the post positions for the race with current betting odds: Like the 2025 Kentucky Derby, rain could potentially be an issue, at least earlier in the day. According to CBS News, there's a 75% chance of rain on Saturday morning with a chance of thunderstorms and a high of 64 degrees. The chance of rain drops to 24% by post time, however, with partly cloudy skies and a high of 74. The 2025 Belmont Stakes is set to begin at 7:04 a.m. ET/4:04 p.m. PT and will broadcast live on FOX and FS1, and will stream live on the FOX Sports app.

2025 Belmont Stakes updated odds: Expert analysis and predictions, post positions, jockeys and trainers
While there will not be a Triple Crown winner this season, Saturday's 157th running of the Belmont Stakes does boast the winners of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, Sovereignty and Journalism. Those two thoroughbreds and six other horses will race for the winner's share of the $2,000,000 purse. Journalism (8-5) is the current favorite with Sovereignty (2-1) and Baeza (4-1) garnering plenty of attention as well but there is speed and potential sprinkled throughout this eight-horse field. Hill Road claimed the local prep race, the Peter Pan Stakes, Rodriguez roared to a win in the Wood Memorial, and Crudo won the 2025 Sir Barton Stakes. A case can be made for each to challenge the favorites. Advertisement It often pays, though, to strongly consider the horse that closes as the favorite in the Belmont. The favorite has won the Belmont 66 times accounting for 42.6% of the 156 previous editions of the final jewel of the Triple Crown series. Renovations continue at Belmont Park and so for the second consecutive year the third jewel of horse-racing's Triple Crown will be held at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, NY. That change of venue also means a change to the distance of the Belmont Stakes. Typically the longest race of the Triple Crown at 1.5 miles, Saratoga means a 1.25 mile "sprint" for the top thoroughbreds in the world for the second consecutive year and the eighth time in the history of the race. Race Details and How to Watch the 2025 Belmont Stakes Date: Saturday, June 7, 2025 Post Time: 7:04PM ET Site: Saratoga Race Course City: Saratoga Springs, New York How to Watch: FOX Belmont Stakes Prediction Drew Dinsick's (@whale_capper) likes the favorites, but not the favorite for the top of his Belmont card. "The trifecta winners from the Kentucky Derby showdown again in the Belmont Stakes with Sovereignty, Journalism and Baeza entering as the clear top three in the field of eight. Despite winning the Preakness, the fatigue of having run that extra sprint is enough for me to look past Journalism, the morning line favorite. The numbers suggest that Sovereignty and Baeza have very similar running styles and are equally strong closers so their prices should be reasonably close and the horse with the best trip likely wins. The progression for the more lightly raced Baeza is clear steady improvement throughout his 3-yo campaign, so I'll take the price and hope he outduels the Derby champ down the stretch. Baeza to win, Baeza over Sovereignty and Baeza/Sovereignty/Journalism in my tri."
