10 Most Successful NXT Call-ups
10. Paige
Though things haven’t quite gone according to plan in recent months, Paige made a huge impact during her early days on the main roster.
Paige debuted on the Raw after WrestleMania XXX, where she won the Divas Championship on her very first night. Not only that but in doing she ended AJ Lee’s run of 295 days as champion—a record at the time—before going on to notch her second reign just a few months down the line on her 22nd birthday.
Since then, however, she’s faded from prominence somewhat. After a title drought of almost two years, Paige disappeared from WWE programming in June of 2016. Initially, she was sidelined with a neck injury, though she then hit the headlines amidst rumours that she was on the verge of quitting the company before her relationship with Alberto El Patron saw her once again thrust into the limelight for none-too-flattering reasons.
She remains under contract, despite not being seen on TV in more than 14 months, but that recent inactivity—not to mention the controversies in her personal life—kind of take the shine off that initial impact she made.
