As most people expected, Paige defeated Tamina Snuka with her awesome Scorpion Cross Lock submission finisher. Something that was notable during the match was that the fans weren't that interested in the match until Paige made the comeback towards the end. Part of the reason is because Tamina's a heel character that hasn't had that many big matches in her career despite being in WWE for several years now. Fans really only reacted to the move where she slammed AJ into the barricade at ringside. It's obvious that the crowd likes Paige and as a woman in her early 20s she has a really bright future. What WWE needs to do is line up some heel opponents for her. Perhaps AJ Lee will be back before Payback. If she's not, who can they put Paige against that's a heel? Women like Aksana and Alicia Fox just aren't credible enough right now. That's the challenge for the creative team now.
