10 Paige Matches That Prove WWE Has Misused Her In Women's Revolution
4. Paige Vs. Emma - NXT Arrival
There is a reason Triple H and NXT management selected Paige to be the first female star of the brand. She had a youthful energy about her, a unique look, and a smash-mouth ring style straight out of Great Britain. She was no-nonsense and different from every other woman on the roster.
Most importantly, she was the best women's wrestler under the WWE umbrella, barring maybe Natalya.
With so much pressure on NXT to deliver in its first live special, the brand called on its resident 'anti-Diva' to step up to the plate and prove to the world that a revolution in women's wrestling was brewing. Her opponent that night? A familiar face with whom she had waged many a war in Emma. Together, they would create magic, crafting a wrestling match on par with anything their male peers might deliver.
It was hard-hitting and unforgiving. There was high drama and a sense of unpredictability that hung over the match. Ultimately, Paige successfully retained her title and her reign atop the women's division in NXT marched on.
