• Return Announced For SmackDown

Paige returned at WrestleMania 42 – Night 1, stepping in to replace Nikki Bella in the Fatal-4-Way WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match after Nikki was not medically cleared due to an ankle injury.

It marked Paige’s first WWE match in over eight years, as she teamed up with Brie Bella to capture the Women’s Tag Team Titles in a surprise return.

She later took to X to confirm she will also be in attendance for SmackDown after WrestleMania this Friday at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.

Here’s what she posted: “Smackdown Friday then McAllen for my signing Saturday and Sunday!! See you all there! 🖤⚡️”

Paige’s last appearance on the blue brand came on March 20, 2020, when she appeared via Skype to announce the SmackDown Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania 36.
