With the Kabuki Warriors tandem of Asuka and Kairi Sane recently turning on Paige and severing ties with their now-former manager, it looks as if certain other WWE superstar has the Anti-Diva’s managerial skills on their radar.

After a fan took to Twitter to express how their dream match would be Paige vs. Nia Jax, the former NXT Women’s Champion and WWE Divas Champion responded that not only would she “absolutely” love to wrestle Jax, but she’d also be open to managing the currently-injured Nia.

For Nia’s part, she made it clear that she’s more than keen for Paige to manage her once she’s back in action.

After Asuka and Kairi turned on Paige, the online rumour mill started pondering whether that means that Paige is now somehow cleared to return to in-ring action after having previously retired due to neck issues. The 27-year-old was quick to instantly play down that talk, and reiterated that someone would have to lend her their neck for her to be able to make a comeback.

As for Nia Jax, she’s been out of action since April due to ACL tears in both knees. It was initial reported that it may take up to nine months before Nia will be able to compete again – which would put her on track for a December return.
