Following a name change just a matter of days ago, WWE referee Chloe Christmas has now undergone yet another change of name.

This past weekend saw it revealed that Christmas had now been renamed as Paige. Of course, that saw a smidge of confusion amongst fans as WWE already has one Paige under their employ, and we all know how the company is forever keen to not have multiple talents with similar names - as highlighted brilliantly by WWE's purported plans to rename Adam Cole should he have moved to the main roster, for fear of people getting him mixed up with Michael Cole.

Yes, seriously.

Having had the Paige name for merely a handful of days, Chloe Christmas has now been rejigged to be Blair Baldwin from here on out.

Baldwin, as she will now been known, can usually be found referring on the NXT brand and the occasional 205 Live show.

Forced to retire from in-ring action in 2017, Paige has spent the past few years appearing on WWE panel shows, co-hosting WWE Backstage on FS1, had a stint as SmackDown General Manager, and was also the manager of The Kabuki Warriors.
