In the case of Paige (formerly known as Saraya), her WWE comeback began at WrestleMania 42, during which she emerged as Brie Bella’s replacement partner in the four-way WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match. Original plans called for Nikki Bella to team alongside her twin sister at the big event. Due to an untimely ankle injury, however, Nikki was later forced to withdraw from the title match.

“The Bellas look better than ever. AJ looks better than ever. Paige too,” Kaitlyn said. “They all look incredible. It’s this cool moment of redefining a lot of things. A few minutes ago we were talking about redefining what it means to age. You don’t have to get worse just because you’re getting older. These women that are coming back are this evidence that you can get better as you age. It makes sense. You know more. You know how to handle yourself more, how to process your emotions, how to deal with problems. Well, we’re all learning how to be healthier and make better choices. They’re just such a representation of that. It’s really cool to see not only as somebody who was an integral part of that, but also just from the outside being like this is rad.”

Like Kaitlyn, The Bella, AJ Lee, and Paige participated in the early 2010s era of WWE, where women’s wrestling wasn’t taken as seriously as it is today. Nevertheless, all of them continued to make strides to improve it, so much so that “Give Divas a Chance” famously trended in 2015. The following year, the company then unveiled a new Women’s Championship, which has put the women of WWE in a more substantial spotlight since then.
