10 Best Wrestlers Under 25 Years Old In The World Today

9. Paige

Like Hashimoto, Paige grew up in the business - but unlike the Big Japan standout, who turned pro shortly before his 19th birthday, the 23-year-old Paige has been in the sport for more than ten years. Both of Paige's parents are pro wrestlers, and when her father opened up a training school, she began logging time in the ring. She started to officially compete at age 13, and spent the next six years wrestling for various promotions in Europe. After heading to the U.S.'s SHIMMER Women Athletes promotion for a brief tenure (and a feud with her mother), she was signed by WWE. After a successful term in development (Paige was the first NXT Women's Champion), the Norwich native was called up to the main roster, winning the WWE Divas' Title in her debut. Since then, Paige has continued to be a centerpiece of the division, and she continually proves herself to be one of the most talented women in wrestling.
