Paige Collett is fully embracing chaos in JCW — and she’s making it clear The Ring Rat character is nowhere near slowing down.

During her appearance on the JCW post-show, Paige pulled back the curtain on the direction she wants for the character moving forward. Instead of staying attached to one wrestler or one storyline, she explained that she wants The Ring Rat evolving constantly by bouncing between nearly everyone on the roster.

While discussing how difficult it can be building chemistry with different talent before storylines suddenly change, Paige admitted she already pitched a much bigger long-term vision directly to Violent J and Vince Russo.

“I've told the bosses, Vince, Jay, I've told them I want to go through the entire locker room. I want man, woman. I want every — I want everyone. I want her to touch like go through every single person and absorb every single person like a ring rat would.”

Paige explained that every pairing changes the personality of the character itself. She pointed to her storyline with Caleb Conley as more mentor-driven, while her chemistry with Jeeves unexpectedly turned into something more goofy and platonic instead of sexual.

Things changed again once Disco Ray entered the picture, as the two leaned heavily into over-the-top comedy segments, matching outfits, and chaotic antics before the eventual betrayal angle at StrangleMania. Now paired with Stephen Flo, Paige said fans are about to see an even more extreme version of The Ring Rat inspired by real-life rockstar groupies.

“This character, this gimmick that I portray, she's so much more than that. I love building and adding to the layers of what she is because when she was with Disco or with Caleb, you know, she changes and it's like she's a chameleon.”

“You’ll see how convulsing she is into the unhinged groupie.”

Paige also made it clear that despite wanting the character tied to nearly everyone in JCW eventually, she sees every pairing as a chance to create something completely different instead of repeating the same act over and over again. At this point, The Ring Rat has become one of the most talked-about characters in JCW, and Paige clearly has no plans to keep the gimmick in one lane anytime soon.
