10 Things We Learned From Paige On Lilian Garcia's Podcast

10. She Is Incredibly Driven

We as fans are, at times, perhaps guilty of overlooking the sacrifices made by our favourite wrestlers, often attributing their success to God-given athletic ability or else just getting on the right side of the right people backstage instead.

But Paige's coming-of-age story really underlines the dedication it takes to reach the highest level. While the rest of us were playing video games and drinking outside supermarkets, the then-teenaged future WWE star travelled around Europe independently to expand her wrestling portfolio.
