Paige is something of a trailblazer in WWE after being crowned as the first ever NXT Women’s Champion and going on to scoop the Divas title on her main roster debut from AJ Lee. She won the Divas title another two times, but was cruelly unable to pick up a championship in the new era that she was such a proponent of.
It’s unclear where Paige goes from here, but she is likely to remain a part of WWE programming. A new movie, Fighting With My Family, which chronicles Paige’s career, is slated for release on September 28th.
