Paige Triumphantly Returns to WWE at WrestleMania 42
Paige made a surprise appearance during WrestleMania 42 night one on April 18. The show took place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Match and result
She stepped in for an injured Nikki Bella. Paige teamed with Brie Bella in a WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship fatal four-way match.
Her entrance music brought the crowd to its feet. Paige secured the pin and won the Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Brie.
How the substitution unfolded
Nikki Bella suffered an ankle injury in March. She had hoped to compete with her sister but was ultimately held out of the match.
That opening led to Paige’s surprise placement on the WrestleMania card. The substitution had been reported in the days before the event.
Career background and context
Paige was a central figure in WWE’s women’s evolution. She became the inaugural NXT Women’s Champion.
She also captured the Divas Championship at age 21 during her main roster debut. Neck injuries later forced WWE to medically retire her in-ring activities.
After retiring as a wrestler, she stayed involved in managerial roles before leaving WWE in 2022. She then signed with All Elite Wrestling and competed under the name Saraya through 2025.
Significance of the comeback
The return marked Paige’s first WWE match in nearly ten years. Her appearance was widely seen as a triumphant moment for fans and the roster.
