WrestleMania 42 saw the anticipated return of Paige, as the previous WWE Divas Champion teamed up along with her former frienemy, Brie Bella, to take the place of Nikki Bella in a Fatal four-way tag team match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
While she did not have a match at WrestleMania 42, and would have a high profile match against Giulia on the April twenty fifth episode of “SmackDown” to win the Women’s United States Championship, Tiffany Stratton was asked to weigh in on on Paige’s return to WWE.
“I’m so pleased for all the ladies,” she exclaimed on the “Battleground Podcast” recently. “What a tremendous pop. What a tremendous moment. That was so cool to observe, after which she killed it within the ring.”
Stratton also expressed that she seems like women in pro wrestling have come a great distance since Paige’s day, declaring how Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez had a lengthy Women’s Tag Team Championship reign, Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill had a heated feud, and now Paige is wearing gold round her waist in WWE again.
“I’m just so pleased for everyone,” Stratton noted. Nevertheless, she doesn’t simply want to sit down by idly and watch the ladies grow. “I hope to get within the ring with Paige too.”
Since Paige’s return to WWE, the 2 have yet to interact on screen, but over on Stratton’s TikTok, they’ve already collaborated in a fast post where ‘The Buff Barbie Doll’ showed off her recent Women’s United States Championship.
