10 Booking Steps For Paige Following Her WWE Raw Return
3. Total Divas
Backed by Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville as always, new Raw Women's Champion Paige gloats at her latest success in the weeks following WrestleMania, but she's interrupted by Nikki and Brie Bella alongside Alicia Fox and Nia Jax.
The twins formally announce that the group are the new and improved Team Bella, having forged a relationship with Nia Jax after she replaced Paige in a most recent season of Total Divas. Outnumbered and outmuscled as Team Bella charge the ring, The Allegiance escape through the crowd, having been reduced to running for the first time since their November debut.
Over the following weeks, the seven women compete in a variety of tag and singles battles, until Paige agrees to defend the title against the Nia Jax if the rest of the group stay backstage. Jax agrees, but it sets up an Allegiance ambush. With The Bellas and Fox locked in the dressing room, Paige, Rose and Deville Pilmanize Nia's ankle, ruling her out of action for an undisclosed period.
The three go on to defeat Team Bella in a six-women tag match at the following pay-per-view, sending all of them off to SmackDown Live! as per an agreed stipulation.
