2. FCW Debut
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1HzPR4n69E Paige's first televised appearance in Florida Championship Wrestling came on the February 19, 2012 episode. Resembling Lisbeth from "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," she casually approached Seth Rollins with computer in hand, showed him a message and walked away. It was incredibly short and gave the audience no real indication of what they would be seeing from her in the future. By the next time fans saw the raven-haired woman, she would have dropped the computer expert element of the gimmick and adopted her Anti-Diva persona. Her in-ring debut for the promotion came on March 18, 2012 when she teamed with Sofia Cortez to take on Audrey Marie and Kaitlyn. The match was a typical Divas tag bout that saw the heels work over one of the babyfaces until the hot tag and finish. During the bout, Paige broke out the Scorpion Cross Lock on Audrey Marie, showcasing a bit of the skill that fans would become familiar with in the weeks, months and year that followed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfjKXI1smpk Paige and Cortez fell in defeat in their first tag team bout together but it was a great way to expose the audience to the talented young British star.
