10 NXT Stars That Have Been Squandered
2. Paige
Can Paige really be squandered if she's held the Divas Championship on two occasions? She did make a memorable entrance to the main show by overthrowing AJ Lee's nine-month stronghold over the belt, but from there, it was all so directionless. Instead of being confident and strong-willed, Paige played underdog champion for weeks and weeks until it was time for her and AJ to swap the gold, as well as face/heel alignments.
For all intents and purposes, Paige has become the female Big Show, turning good or bad whenever WWE deems it convenient. She's also taken a backseat ever since the awful Reid Flair invocation blew up in WWE's face.
Right now, Paige should be tearing it up with Charlotte, Sasha, and Becky as the elite of the improving Divas Revolution. Instead, they've constantly come up short with a genuine talent.
