Paige Signs With WWE And WILL Wrestle Matches (WWE News)
Saraya will return to her old Paige moniker shortly after re-signing with WWE.
Fightful Select has confirmed reports that Saraya/Paige has re-signed with WWE. The website noted that Paige herself denied the rumours to anyone who'd listen, but it's happening. This move comes after Saraya brought an end to her 3 year stay in Tony Khan's AEW in March 2025.
The Brit had been making a lot of noise about her willingness to launch a WWE comeback, but it initially seemed like Triple H and TKO top brass wouldn't be interested. Things have changed on that front, and the fresh deal could come at the ideal time for Paige.
PWInsider's Mike Johnson is reporting that she'll be booked as a last-minute substitute for the injured Nikki Bella in a Women's Tag-Team Title Fatal-4-Way on Saturday night in Las Vegas. WWE persisted with the idea that The Bella Twins would be involved in the match during Friday's episode of SmackDown, but Johnson claims that Paige will replace Nikki to team with Brie instead.
That should get a respectable pop from the fans inside Allegiant Stadium on the night.
There's also a reason why Paige wrestling in WWE again is important. Previously, before leaving the company in June 2022, she'd been a non-wrestling character on TV. At one point, she was even the SmackDown General Manager. Back then, nobody knew if the former Divas Champ would ever be able to wrestle again.
She's since worked 27 bouts in All Elite and a further 2 on the independent scene and in New Japan, so Saraya/Paige is raring to go.
