20 Shimmer Alumnae Who Made WWE's Women's Evolution Possible
3. Paige
It's a shame the current SmackDown General Manager was forced to retire at just 26 years of age. She was the first ever NXT Women's Champion, and she made history when at 21, she became the youngest woman to win a main roster title by claiming the Divas Championship during her first night on Raw. She was also involved in the previously mentioned 30 second match that kick started #GiveDivasAChance (two of the four ladies in that match were Shimmer alumnae).
She started wrestling in her native England at the age of 13, working for her parent's promotion WAW. She made her American debut as Britani Knight in 2011 for Shimmer Volume 37. She started off tagging with her mom Saraya as the Knight Dynasty. After a couple of failed attempts at the tag titles and a couple of single losses, Saraya disowned her daughter, resulting in a no DQ match at Volume 44, where she defeated her mom in her final match with the company.
