Ranking Every NXT Women's Champion Ranked - From Worst To Best

5. Paige

Paige was the very first NXT Women's Champion, winning the title on 24 July 2013. Paige was the last woman standing in an eight woman tournament, overcoming Tamina Snuka and Alicia Fox before besting Emma in the final. Paige herself was seen as something approaching a revolutionary at the time, someone completely different to the rest of the female performers in WWE.

The problem Paige and her NXT Women's Championship run had was simply a lack of competition. Paige and Emma were the extent of the NXT female division at the time. Summer Rae was the major heel in the division, and those who would make up the future were still learning the ropes. Sasha Banks was involved, but this was before Sasha Banks became Sasha Banks, so to speak.

Paige was a great champion at a poor time for the division. In many ways this is fairly apt for Paige's WWE career, a revolutionary who was ahead of her time and somewhat irrelevant by the time the actual revolution came around.
