10 Booking Steps For Paige Following Her WWE Raw Return
8. Divide And Conquer
Setting her sights on permanently removing Bayley and Banks from the Raw Roster, Paige outlines her intent to rid she show and main roster of both. She notes how she kicked the door down for all the women of NXT to receive such opportunities, but Banks and Bayley have stolen credit for changing perceptions with their TakeOver: Brooklyn classic.
Nostalgically sharing warm memories of their legendary wars, 'The Hugger' and 'The Boss' seem temporarily back on track in their efforts to take down The Allegiance after a challenging 2017 saw both suffer significant setbacks.
The pair combine to hand Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville their first defeats in singles and tag team matches, but are less successful in a handicap match when Paige targets the injured shoulder of Bayley throughout. The game former Women's Champion attempts to fight through the pain despite a relentless beating, but a referee stoppage awards the contest to the heels when she passes out in the deadly Scorpion Crosslock.
Whilst Bayley recovers the following week, Paige, Rose and Deville beat down Sasha again, leading her to the conclusion that perhaps an amicable separation is needed when her former NXT rival returns the following week. Their relationship status remains set to 'Complicated' ahead of the first ever Women's Royal Rumble.
