All 21 NXT-To-WWE Call-Ups - Ranked From Worst to Best
5. Paige
Paige won the inaugural NXT Women’s Championship tournament, defeating Emma in what was then considered to be NXT’s all-time best women’s match. Even now, after such luminaries as Sasha Banks, Charlotte and Bayley have held the title, Paige still holds the record for longest reign.
WWE’s treatment of Paige on her debut was consistent with how she'd been used in NXT, right down to giving here unique accomplishments: she won the Divas Championship on her first-ever Raw appearance.
That's a pretty big deal, as only Gail Kim had accomplished a comparable feat in the past. However, Gail only had to win a battle royal to win a vacant Women’s Championship, while Paige had to defeat AJ Lee, then the longest-reigning Divas Champion in history.
She was also the youngest person to have won that championship, at only 21 years old.
