Paige became the youngest champion to win the WWE Divas Championship. Paige was only 21 when she clinched the Divas title; her record feat saw her become the youngest wrestler (be it male or female) in the WWE.
Life came a full circle for Paige, as she announced her retirement and that too in New Orleans. Paige was currently working as the manager of newly-formed Divas tag-team – ‘Absolution’.

I also thank Daniel Bryan as he returned from a career-threatening injury and competed in Wrestlemania, a night before, for that, it gives me hope.”
