Paige is a champion in her first WWE match since 2017.
Replacing an injured Nikki Bella, Paige teamed with Brie Bella at WrestleMania 42 night one in Las Vegas and the two defeated Lash Legend, Nia Jax, Lyra Valkyria, Bayley, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss to capture the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. The win capped one of the most emotional moments in recent WrestleMania history.
Paige, Brie, and Nikki appeared at the WrestleMania 42 post-show, where Paige addressed what it felt like to walk back into a WWE ring after more than seven years away.
“WWE is my home, I was raised here, I’m a WWE girl forever, and a Total Diva. I didn’t know how anyone was gonna react, I’m walking out there, I forgot how big WrestleManias were. It was magical, it was surreal, I forgot how to skip at one point. I was like, ‘What do I do? What does Paige do?'” Paige said.
Nikki also spoke at the post-show, revealing that Paige was the only person she and Brie felt right about as a replacement. Nikki said she did not want Brie to lose her WrestleMania moment because of her injury, making Paige the obvious and only choice.
