After the McMahons took control of both main roster shows, Paige was silently removed from her position and she later took on the role of a manager for Asuka and Kairi Sane, The Kabuki Warriors. Currently, Paige is a regular on FS1's WWE Backstage, where she discusses WWE's weekly product and several other things with Renee Young, CM Punk, and others.

Priestley made her AEW debut at Fight For The Fallen 2019, where she teamed up with Shoko Nakajima to defeat Britt Baker and Riho. Judging by the fan response to the above exchange, a match between the two would have been nothing short of an exciting dream scenario.
