Overview
- SPORT1 reports that Paige returned at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas and, teaming with Brie Bella, won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
- The pair prevailed in a four-team match, known in WWE as a Fatal-4-Way, against champions Nia Jax and Lash Legend, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, and Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.
- PW-Insider had reported before the show that Paige signed a new WWE deal and took part in a rehearsal for the match.
- Those reports also said Nikki Bella suffered an ankle injury in late March and was not medically cleared to compete, which opened the spot for Paige.
- The comeback follows her 2018 WWE retirement after a serious neck and back injury, a 2022 in-ring return with AEW, and an AEW women’s title win at London’s All In in 2023, highlighting WWE’s use of surprise returns on its biggest stage.
