Paige on WrestleMania 42 return: ‘I’m a WWE girl forever’
Paige is back in WWE and is already a champion!
At WWE WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Paige replaced an injured Nikki Bella to tag along with Brie Bella. She and Bella defeated Lash Legend, Nia Jax, Lyra Valkyria, Bayley, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss to win the Women’s Tag Team titles.
Later, Paige and the Bellas appeared at the WWE WrestleMania 42 post-show to address her return and her first WWE match since 2017.
“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 shared.
Nikki Bella also opened up and shared that Paige was the only one the twins felt right about replacing her. Bella claimed that she wanted Paige to take her place at WrestleMania 42 because she did not want Brie Bella to lose her WrestleMania moment because of her injury.
Later on social media, Bella shared more details on the injury, while at the post-show, she also announced undergoing surgery on her injured foot.
