10 Booking Steps For Paige Following Her WWE Raw Return
6. Title Tease
After much sign-pointing at the pay-per-view itself, Paige keeps her cards close to her chest in a promo on the following night's edition of Monday Night Raw. She makes sure to note Alexa Bliss' cowardice regarding Asuka's Rumble elimination, but comments that it was her she needed to be afraid of.
The following evening on SmackDown Live!, Charlotte is just about to complete a routine title defence against Tamina when both are rushed by The Allegiance. Spurred on by Paige, Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose beat down Charlotte, Tamina and associate Lana as the 'Anti-Diva' struts atop the blue brand stage.
Asked repeatedly over the following weeks which championship she'll fight for at the pay-per-view, Paige refuses to answer, instead enjoying the results of her actions speaking louder than words on the telecasts as the three beat down both rosters.
Using and abusing their strength in numbers, the trio aim to finish off the fragile friendship of Bayley and Sasha Banks on a February edition of Monday Night Raw, but the 'Hugger' and 'The Boss' are unexpectedly saved by SmackDown Live! Women's Champion Charlotte and fellow Allegiance victim Becky Lynch.
Annoyed herself with the group, Alexa Bliss joins the fray, but turns on Charlotte immediately, standing nervously alongside Paige, Deville and Rose. An eight-woman tag match is booked for February's pay-per-view.
