Paige’s WWE career
Paige signed a deal with WWE in 2011 and soon made her WWE NXT debut. She then participated in the inaugural WWE NXT Women’s Championship tournament and won the match. She defended her title against a string of NXT stars before vacating her title and moving to the main roster. She made an impressive main roster debut as she defeated AJ Lee at WrestleMania 30 and became the WWE Divas Champion. She held on to her title for almost six months before losing it back to Lee.
She then worked with many WWE superstars and delivered some incredible in-ring performances. However, her wrestling career came to an end after she suffered a neck injury during a house show in December 2017. In the WWE RAW episode after WrestleMania 34, Paige announced her retirement and was made the acting commissioner of WWE SmackDown by Shane McMahon. She soon resigned from her position and started appearing in other WWE shows like WWE Backstage, Total Divas and others.
