Paige has had an interesting WWE career, to say the least. She was the first ever NXT Women's Champion. She won the Diva's Championship on her RAW debut. She was the youngest ever Diva's champion, as well as the first British-born Divas champion. She had the look, the mic skills, and the in-ring chops to back it all up. And she was so young. Oh, so very young. To be so young and to have achieved so much, and to have the possibility of achieving so much more, was especially commendable.

But then, she got injured.

She eventually returned and appeared to be primed to make a major impact. She had her own faction. There was a movie coming out based on her life, that was produced by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. The world was at her feet.

Alas, tragedy struck; she was injured once again and forced to retire.

But she still had a lot going for her; she was still young, still had great mic skills, still had a great look, and the audience still loved her.

Enter Shane McMahon.

Paige was appointed the new General Manager of Smackdown Live, and most people agreed that she did an excellent job.

However, this past week on Smackdown Live, she was relieved of her duties.

That doesn't mean she cannot still play a meaningful role on WWE television.

She is still young, still has great mic skills, still has a great look, and the audience still loves her. There is absolutely no reason she cannot be a manager.

And it just so happens that these 2 Superstars, and 2 tag-teams could use a manager like her.

The Club

Could Paige be the secret ingredient they need?

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are to put it quite bluntly, floundering.

The menacing bruisers have not done anything of note lately, and given the fact that the Smackdown Live tag-team division is absolutely stacked, that looks likely to continue. They will need something special to stand out in a division with The Bar, The Usos, The New Day, and The Bludgeon Brothers; a veritable who's who of modern day WWE tag-teams.

Or maybe, they need someone special.

Someone like Paige.

Gallows and Anderson have been at their best with a third person; be it A.J. Styles, or Finn Balor.

Paige would instantly give them renewed credibility, and make them super interesting.

AOP

The former Authors of Pain have had a rough time on the main roster.

For one, they lost the name 'Authors of Pain'; AOP just doesn't have that same ring to it. More importantly, they lost their manager; the legendary Paul Ellering. Most importantly, they are managed by Drake Maverick, and thanks to his proclivity to urinate, known as "A-O-Pee-Pee" by the WWE Universe.

AOP are an imposing tag-team that should be terrifying all and sundry. They should absolutely not be a comedy relief act. Continued association with Maverick could see them become the new Tons of Funk. They must lose him, and lose him fast.

However, it must be noted that AOP do need a manager.

Enter Paige.

Part of the reason that the crowd loves her is because she is a bada** hell-raiser. Her whole look and attitude jive perfectly with what AOP should be.

With Maverick, AOP are a joke. With Paige, they can be destroyers.

It is a no-brainer.

Asuka

Asuka finally fulfilled her destiny and won the Smackdown Women's Championship this past Sunday at WWE TLC.

She is wildly popular, an excellent wrestler, and has an aura of danger. She looks like a star, and carries herself like a star; because she is a star.

So then, dear reader, you may ask what the problem is.

The problem is that she won that championship as the least relevant woman in that match. The problem is that she cannot cut long promos. That doesn't equal a long championship reign. Asuka was compared to Brock Lesnar before her undefeated streak was broken.

So why not follow the Brock Lesnar formula? Why not give Asuka a manager to hype her up, while she stands in the ring looking menacing? Why not have Paige manage Asuka?

Paige always gave Asuka opportunities as General Manager, it makes sense that she would stand by her side now.

Asuka is already a star, and unlike other entries on this list, doesn't need Paige's star-power to be relevant. But Paige could definitely accentuate Asuka's star-power, and help her become an even bigger star.

Finn Balor

Will Paige join Balor Club?

Ah, Finn Balor.

Balor is an interesting study. He has remained wildly popular with the fan-base, despite floundering. But the fact remains that he has floundered.

Finn Balor has a spot that is better than most in the industry; he is always prominently featured on Monday Night Raw, and he tends to be prominently featured on pay-per-view cards as well.

The problem is that Finn Balor could be so much more. This is the first ever Universal Champion that we are talking about. Not only could he be so much more, he should be so much more.

He is missing that secret ingredient that will take him to the next level. If there is one complaint against him, it is that he is rather bland as a character.

Paige could be that secret ingredient, much like Lita was for Edge.

This is something that should happen for the matching leather jackets alone.

Agree? Disagree? Do you think Paige should manage someone else? Let us know in the comments below.
