Former WWE Divas Champion Layla has revealed that she will be launching a new podcast, interviewing stars of that era.
Layla won the 2006 WWE Diva Search competition, going on to become the final WWE Women’s Champion in May 2010 and Divas Champion at the April 2012 Extreme Rules.
Speaking about the history of the Divas division on Developmentally Speaking, Layla introduced the concept of her LayTalk podcast, saying:
“I am also having a podcast that will launch very soon. It’s called LayTalk. It’s going to be dedicated to the Diva era.
“It’s also going to give you insight on different Divas’ careers and also insight on some of the stuff that happened backstage that you guys would never, ever, ever get to know.”
Layla would go on to reveal that the insight would come from the Divas themselves, stating:
“I’m going to have the Divas actually on the show, so it’s not just going to be me talking.
“I’m going to get interviews with most of the Divas, if not all of the Divas, and just to show you that the Diva era was something, it was significant, and to go back down memory lane and also to see where your Divas are now, what they’re up to, what they’re doing, what they feel about The New Generation.
“It’s going to be just a great, great podcast if you guys are Diva fans. If you do want to learn some more stuff about the Diva Search girls as well and how the women were treated back then in that time, in that era, and then you guys can make a decision like, you know, was the divas that bad? I don’t know. It’s going to be called Lay Talk. So that will be out soon.”
Layla recently commented on her former LayCool tag partner (and unofficial co-Women’s Champion) Michelle McCool being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025.
The WWE Women’s Champion would be unified with the Divas Championship at Night of Champions in September 2020.
The Divas Championship would subsequently be retired at WrestleMania 32 in April 2016, with the WWE Championship being reborn with Charlotte Flair (then without the surname) continuing as champion.
