Paige on WrestleMania 42 Return: “WWE Is My Home, I’m a WWE Girl Forever”

Paige had a lot to say after making her long-awaited WWE return at WrestleMania 42 on Saturday night in Las Vegas, and she made clear exactly where her loyalties lie.

Speaking on the WrestleMania 42 post show, Paige reflected on stepping back inside Allegiant Stadium for the first time in years.

"WWE is my home, I was raised here, I'm a WWE girl forever, and a Total Diva," she said.

Paige admitted the moment hit her harder than she expected once she was walking out in front of the massive WrestleMania crowd.

"I didn't know how anyone was gonna react, I'm walking out there, I forgot how big WrestleManias were," she said. "It was magical, it was surreal, I forgot how to skip at one point. I was like, 'What do I do? What does Paige do?'"

Paige stepped in to replace an injured Nikki Bella, teaming with Brie Bella in the Women's Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way against champions Nia Jax and Lash Legend, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, and Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.

She picked up the win and the titles by getting her knees up on Bliss' Twisted Bliss attempt before hitting the RamPaige for the fall, marking her first WWE championship gold since 2017.

Paige had been away from WWE since her contract expired in June 2022, spending time in AEW under her real name Saraya before departing that promotion in March 2025. Per PWInsider, she signed a new multi-year deal with WWE ahead of WrestleMania 42.
