10 Best Female Superstars Of The New Era
6. Paige
Arguably the woman who was the opening battle cry of the “Divas Revolution”, Paige first rose to prominence in the UK, where some may remember her from Channel 4’s documentary The Wrestlers: Fighting with my Family.
We were not disappointed when Paige finally made her NXT debut. She was completely different: her pale skin, her opening primal scream, and her raw and brutish in-ring style were completely different to anything we had seen from women in the WWE in recent years. On a personal level, it was Paige who got me interested in women's wrestling again. It is arguably her days in NXT that remain her best, as her call up to the main roster (despite her two-time Divas Championship reign) never gave her a standout match or moment similar to the heights that she reached in NXT.
Paige would be higher on this list were it not for the focus on her Total Divas role rather than her in-ring work in the latter half of her main roster career. Her recent troubles with the company have also kept her out of the limelight, whilst other women have flourished. It would be great to see Paige return to full health and be given a fair shot to remind us why the Anti-Diva was so important.
