10 Booking Steps For Paige Following Her WWE Raw Return

2. Tomorrow People

On a high from their latest domination of a once-powerful force, The Allegiance issue an open challenge to the Raw roster that initially goes unchallenged. Lost in the moment, Paige brags about still not being beaten since returning in November and being the greatest women's champion in wrestling history. Reminding fans that she was once the 'Diva Of Tomorrow' before becoming the 'Woman Of Today, she concludes her spiel simply by inferring that NOBODY is ready for her.

It's at that point Asuka's music hits. The crowd explode as she silently stalks the ring whilst Paige readies Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville for her attack. Asuka dives in and floors her fellow NXT graduates with a raft of devastating kicks and strikes. Paige ducks a flying foot and escapes to the safety of the ramp, whilst Rose and Deville are further reduced.

Ahead of SummerSlam, Paige suggests she'll only bother with Asuka if the 'Empress Of Tomorrow' can take out Sonya and Mandy beforehand. Asuka obliges, staving off copious amounts of interference to defeat both in consecutive weeks until only Paige remains. The battle between the two undefeated superstars is finally set for the 'Biggest Party Of The Summer'.
