Diamond Dallas Page signs WWE Legends deal

Diamond Dallas Page says he signed his WWE Legends contract after Bad Blood on Saturday.

The WWE Hall of Famer was one of several legends from the Atlanta area who attended last night’s show. He was shown on camera along with Mickie James and Scott Steiner. Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson were also on hand for the event.

DDP took to social media after the show and thanked WWE for giving the legends “ultimate respect & kindness from everyone.” He said that as a WCW wrestler, he never felt truly welcome in WWE but that was not how he felt last night.

“The legends weren’t just seen as guys and girls who used to be wrestlers. Last night we were seen as TRUE legends…superstars from the past that paved the way. Treated with the ultimate respect & kindness from everyone, which I believe is all we’re really looking for,” Page wrote, also adding he signed and sent in his WWE Legends deal when he got home.

DDP’s full statement reads (edited for clarity):

“Last night, WWE Bad Blood was one of the first pay-per-views I really enjoyed from beginning to end.

Got to the building early to spend some quality time with Cody Rhodes, but he was so busy, it’s something we’ll have to do at a later date. WWE actually had all of the legends pretty busy as well. 

I want to thank Paul Levesque, a.k.a. @TripleH for a hell of a time
With him at the helm of creative, along with the new owners of TKO Group, I personally had one of my favorite times at a #WWE event. Knowing my HOF career was made in WCW, regardless of how many close friends I had there at WWE, I never felt totally welcomed. 

Last night was different. When I got home tonight, I signed my Legends deal and sent it in. 

It was very laid-back and fun to be around, just hanging out, & having some laughs. The entire WWE crew did a hell of a job. 

The legends weren’t just seen as guys and girls who used to be wrestlers. Last night we were seen as TRUE legends…superstars from the past that paved the way. Treated with the ultimate respect & kindness from everyone, which I believe is all we’re really looking for.

We love what we did and we’re extremely proud of it. Many of us are beaten and broken, but we wouldn’t have had it any other way. 

Thank you, WWE, for changing the atmosphere and I’d also like to thank all the WWE Superstars for their time and kindness.
