Paige Says WWE Return Getting Leaked Was ‘The Most Frustrating Thing Ever’

A look back at Paige’s comeback.

With Nikki Bella sidelined due to an ankle injury, Brie Bella needed a partner for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title Fatal 4-Way match at WrestleMania 42.

Making her return to team with Brie was two-time WWE Divas Champion Paige. She looked back on her comeback during an appearance on The Nikki & Brie Show.

She stated that it was frustrating to see her return get leaked, but regardless, the reaction she received at WrestleMania gave her chills, and she still gets that feeling when she thinks about it.

“It was the Monday before ‘Mania, and then I was like, ‘Okay, well, I’m gonna be in Vegas anyway because I’m gonna be doing my podcast and signings and all that kind of stuff so I don’t think it’ll look too strange if I’m around,’ but everyone was kind of guessing. Everyone was just like, ‘Oh, Nikki’s hurt. The only person that could potentially replace her would be Paige, right?’ So, people were starting to guess and then, the day of ‘Mania, I was supposed to go do a signing, and then the last second, they pulled the signing and got me to go to ‘Mania and I was like, ‘Well, that gives it away then’ because I had to cancel a signing… Also, we got so frustrated, because it leaked the day before… I was like, ‘We can’t have surprises anymore?’ It was the most frustrating thing ever, and we were just like, ‘Okay, well, we’ll just make the most of it. People are kind of guessing that I’m gonna be there anyway’ but the reaction… I get chills thinking about it, and I love that I got to do it with you guys, and hopefully get to do it with you (A.J. Lee) soon.”

Paige and Brie Bella’s reign as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions came to an end at Saturday Night’s Main Event when they were defeated by Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid).
