Paige is one of the most gifted female superstars to step inside a WWE ring. The former NXT Champion's dominant in-ring abilities and high-flying athletic prowess certainly made her a force to be reckoned with.
The British Superstar unfortunately had to cut her career short back in 2018 due to neck injuries and made the announcement of her retirement from in-ring action at the RAW after WrestleMania 34 that year.
Paige recently teased her return to the squared circle in a cryptic tweet. The post included an image of what seemed to be her wrestling boots and a thinking face emoji in the caption, possibly indicating that she's considering a comeback.
If the former two-time Divas Champion does make a return, it will surely be a moment to treasure for her fans. They last saw her in action in 2017 in a six-woman tag team match with partners Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose, taking on the team of Bayley, Mickie James and Sasha Banks.
In this article, we look at five dream matches that Paige could compete in if she does return to the WWE ring.
#5 Cora Jade vs Paige
Cora Jade recently began her career in WWE when she signed to the NXT brand in January this year. She made her in-ring debut in an episode of WWE 205 Live, where she teamed up with Gigi Dolin in the opening round of the 2021 Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic in a losing effort.
The NXT rookie has been turning a few heads with her resemblance to Paige as well as garnering support from former WWE Superstar AJ Lee, who referred to Cora as her daughter in a recent tweet.
Cora is determined to make her mark in the business and recently challenged injured WWE Superstar Bayley to a match. The contest could see the light of day once Bayley is ready for in-ring action.
Having said this, a match with Paige could certainly aid young Jade in building her equity in the squared circle. Paige's experience pinned against the exuberance of Cora's youth, make this contest an enticing proposition for the WWE Universe.
#4 Zelina Vega vs Paige
Zelina Vega and Paige have never squared off inside a WWE ring, making their contest an exciting first.
There is a bit of history here as well. Vega played the role of AJ Lee in Paige's biopic, Fighting with My Family. Although Florence Pugh played the role of the Anti-Diva, a Vega-Paige feud could draw parallels to the AJ-Paige feud.
A match with Paige would definitely be a big boost for Zelina's career as well. The former NXT Champion could be the perfect superstar to put her over. Their athletic abilities in the ring will make this bout a must-watch for the WWE Universe.
#3 Sonya Deville vs Paige
Sonya Deville is currently an on-screen official on WWE television. On the most recent edition of SmackDown, the feud between Sonya and Naomi was heightened when Deville challenged the former two-time SmackDown Women's Champion to a match next week on the blue brand. This only means Sonya is back in the squared circle.
With Sonya back in the ring and Paige looking to make a comeback, a contest between the former Absolution members certainly seems like an interesting idea. The two women have never competed against each other, making this bout an intriguing first for the WWE Universe.
#2 Alexa Bliss vs Paige
A feud between Alexa Bliss and Paige would be one for the ages. Bliss hasn't been seen on WWE television since her devastating loss to RAW Women's Champion Charlotte Flair at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view.
In a recent cryptic tweet though, Bliss teased a change from her earlier spooky character to possibly start afresh on Monday Night RAW. She could go after a returning Paige to set up an enticing feud.
#1 AJ Lee vs Paige
In a recent interview with Women Of Wrestling's Izzy, AJ Lee teased that she could technically make her return to the ring.
"I will say, I say the same thing in every interview, and it's always 'never say never, but don't hold your breath.' What I mean by that is, I never say never to anything; physically, mentally, emotionally, I'm healed from everything I've gone through in wrestling. I could technically do it, but I'm so enjoying letting the next generation have their spotlight," AJ Lee said. "I got to do everything I wanted to do. So, it really would have to be, is that challenge there? I don't think the girls need me there. I think that they are going to take over the world all by themselves," said AJ Lee.
Having suffered a neck injury, the Geek Goddess hasn't been able to return to the squared circle in the last six years. That being said, if AJ Lee does make a comeback, another feud with Paige could be as epic as they come.
Their bouts in the past for the Divas Championship have been nothing short of spectacular. With iconic battles in the past between these ladies, a renewed rivalry will surely serve as a treat for the WWE Universe.
