Career

On 7 April 2014 episode of Raw, Paige made her main roster debut in the WWE. She gave her congratulations to WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee on her successful title defense at WrestleMania XXX. Lee challenged Paige to a match and put her championship on the line. In the match, Paige was able to defeat AJ and win her first Divas Championship in WWE. When she won the championship, she became the first female wrestler to hold a developmental (NXT Women's) and primary (WWE Divas) championship at the same time and also became the youngest Divas Champion.[9] On the 30 July 2014 episode of Raw, AJ Lee returned to the WWE and defeated Paige for the Divas Championship.[10]

Paige has since won multiple Divas and Raw Women's Division championships. She currently holds a title of General Manager, appointed by Daniel Bryan.
