News

Rima Fakih from Tough Enough’s recent season sat down with Running the Ropes radio to talk about what it was like to compete on the show, and what she hopes is in store for the future.

On competing on Tough Enough as Miss USA:
“One of the things I like to do is break stereotypes and let people know that you can be beautiful and tough at the same time. It was a great adventure. I have to say that coming to the Tough Enough was not only a highlight of my reign but my Journey as Rima Fakih.”

On entering the Tough Enough house:
“When they find out you’re Miss USA, you’re going to be looked at as ‘What are you doing here? You’ll be like the piñata.’ I told them ‘Great! I love the challenge!’ … I just wanted to prove myself in the ring. Let my actions speak for me.”

On her future with WWE:
“Well I have been in talks with Triple H very recently. So I’ll definitely keep you updated.”
