Paige didn’t wait long to speak out after her surprise return at WrestleMania 42, and her first message made it clear she knows exactly how big that moment was.
WrestleMania 42 delivered a huge shock when Nikki Bella revealed she wasn’t cleared to compete due to an ankle injury just before the Fatal 4-Way WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match. Instead of pulling out of the bout, Nikki introduced Paige as her replacement to team with Brie Bella, setting off loud chants from the crowd inside Allegiant Stadium.
Paige stayed out of the action early while the other teams battled, but once she finally tagged in, she went right to work. She tangled with Nia Jax, Bayley, and Lash Legend before turning her attention to Alexa Bliss. The finish came after Paige blocked a Twisted Bliss by getting her knees up, then followed it with a Rampaige to score the win and capture the titles alongside Brie Bella.
Not long after the match ended, Paige jumped on social media to react to her return and championship victory, letting fans know exactly how she felt about being back.
“I’m backkkkk… did you miss me? Another debut. Another championship baby.”
That message marked Paige’s first public words after returning to WWE, and it showed the same confidence that made her one of the biggest names in the women’s division during her first run.
Winning titles right after returning only added to the shock of the moment. Paige went from not being part of the announced match to walking out of WrestleMania with championship gold, making her one of the biggest talking points from the show.
Her return also came after already stepping back into WWE earlier this year following her exit from AEW, making this moment feel like the true start of her next chapter inside the company. Paige didn’t just come back — she made sure everyone noticed, and her first message made it clear she plans to make the most of this return.
What do you think about Paige’s first message after her return, and do you think she and Brie Bella can hold onto the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles for a long run?
