Trivia / Cameron

• Approval of God: AJ Lee put a Take That! to her infamous attempt at pinning Naomi while she was facing down in one of her comic books. Ariane chose to find it Actually Pretty Funny, saying "I'm obviously doing something right if people are talking about me."
• Costume Backlash: The Catholic School Girls Rule outfits she wore after her initial heel turn, saying she was trying to find a new look for herself and just trying something new.
• Creator Backlash:
  • Has this towards the Manipulative Editing on Total Divas - feeling the show portrayed her as far bitchier than she was in real life. She claims she left the show over disagreements with how she wanted to be portrayed.
  • Felt that her feud with Naomi was abruptly cut short after their one PPV match (which was on the pre-show).
• Dye Hard: Added brown and later blonde into her dark hair to stop fans confusing her with Naomi. She later changed this to purple.
• Executive Meddling: When she was in The Funkadactyls, the office wanted them to act like identical twins. It wasn't until Total Divas that she was allowed to explore her own personality on screen.
• Friendship on the Set: She and Naomi were extremely close even in developmental, which is why they were paired together from the start. She also lists No Way Jose and Ricardo Rodriguez as her closest friends.
• Hostility on the Set:
  • When asked about working with A.J. Lee, Cameron has said that she wasn't very helpful or willing to guide someone greener in the ring. She also wasn't thrilled about her infamous 'Pipe Bombshell' promo that was both unscripted and no one knew about - but years later, admitted that she could appreciate AJ being up front about not liking any of them.
  • Total Divas caught a very real shoot fight between her and Paige during training at the WWE Performance Centre, where Paige took note of her being unsafe in the ring and went rough on her as a result, leading to an argument then and there. Years later, she confirmed it was not scripted, but admitted she could understand the attitude of someone who had come into the business a different way.
• Meme Acknowledgement: American rapper Sexxy Red released a video for her song "Pound Town", in which she posed with a WWE Women's Championship belt, and people began noting her resemblance to Ariane, who had been sporting blue and purple hair at the time. She approved of the comparison, jokingly posting a few tweets pretending that it was her, and eventually naming her promotion Pound Town Wrestling after the song.
• Refitted for Sequel: The gear she wore in her AEW appearance was actually bought for her planned 2016 main roster return before she was released. She joked that she was surprised she could still fit into it.
• Role-Ending Misdemeanor: Her 2016 release from WWE. Originally another Diva was set to be "Future Endeavored," but her "Amen Brother" comment towards Ryback voicing his complaints over his position in the company and treatment (which led him to be taken off television and released around the same time) placed her on the chopping block instead.
• Star-Making Role: Her spot on WWE Tough Enough, despite being the first eliminated, was very memorable and got her signed to FCW before the first episode had even aired.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Claims that she was initially called up to be told she'd replace Eden Stiles as ring announcer on TV. Then she was quickly told she would be a dancer for Brodus Clay instead.
  • Her match against AJ Lee - where she took Naomi's place after her eye injury - almost didn't happen because AJ was feeling sick on the day of the show.
  • After her release, she listed a bunch of ideas she had pitched to creative about various gimmicks and segments she could have done. They included becoming a valet to a Superstar and working as an interviewer. She also wanted to host a Talk Show with Fists that would have been a gossip segment.
• Word of God: A rumour for years was that the first episode of Total Divas staged the mixed tag match getting cut from the card just for the drama of seeing it happen on the show. When asked about it on the ten year anniversary, she stated that it was 100% real, and everyone was genuinely upset. While that doesn't rule out it being staged without the talent knowing, everyone else seems to think it was legit too.
