10 Things WWE Divas Champion Paige Must Do In Her Debut Year
3. Paige Versus Sara Del Rey On An Episode Of NXT
WWE Performance Center trainer Sara Amato is also known as Sara Del Rey, and is one of the best wrestlers in the world. Though having never appeared on Raw or Smackdown, the "Death Rey" is so well respected that her best worth to the company is ensuring that OTHER wrestlers know how to wrestle. It's readily apparent that Paige is going to hold both the Divas and NXT Women's Championships for quite some time. Leading into a situation wherein Paige would wrestle say, Bailey, NXT on-air commissioner John Bradshaw Layfield telling Paige that she had a "special" contender, and that person being Amato, would make for a) a great match and b) once-in-a-lifetime TV. Given that NXT is broadcast online and thus has a significant viewership by "internet" fans, Amato's history in Shimmer, Chikara and Ring of Honor would actually make her a draw for program views. Though it's almost an absolute certainty that she'd only want to wrestle just once on the program, similar to William Regal wrestling Cesaro and Kassius Ohno (aka Chris Hero), it would be an internet fan dream match that would be a fun reason to push fans to purchase the WWE Network.
