Paige discusses her debut win of the Divas Championship

Since WWE Backstage has premiered on FS1, Paige has been a constant panelist. On this week’s show, she commented on the day she made her main roster debut on RAW. Her debut happened on the night after WrestleMania XXX in 2014.

On that night, the current Divas Champion Aj Lee was present in the ring glowing after defeating 13 other women in the Vickie Guerrero Invitational to retain her title.

Paige, who was the current NXT Women’s Champion, made her way to the ring to provide a genuine congratulations to Lee. Lee wasn’t having it and didn’t like being interrupted.

After Lee delivered a slap to Paige she challenged her to an impromptu Divas Championship match. Paige would win the title in her short debut by countering out of the Black Widow submission and delivering her Paige Turner finisher.

On WWE Backstage, Paige explained that she didn’t know she was going to be winning the title until the doors for the show were opening. She states they wanted to keep it a secret.

She comments on how calm Lee was about what was going to take place. Paige makes her entrance, cuts her promo, and wins the title and it worked that simply. This ended Lee’s 295-day longest reign in the title’s history which stayed on record until Nikki Bella surpassed it with 301-days.
