#3 Paige and the Miz re-upped with the company

Back in the day on SmackDown, Paige and Miz were at odds with each other.
Back in the day on SmackDown, Paige and Miz were at odds with each other.

It is nearing the end of the year and that's usually when stars either depart due to their contracts expiring or re-sign with their current promotion. While the likes of Sin Cara and Mike Kanellis have asked for their releases over the last few months, two current personalities signed multi-year contract extensions.

According to WWE Insider Ryan Satin, current WWE Superstar The Miz and former NXT Women's Championship Paige both re=signed with the promotion. The A-Lister has been an important star to help either the mid-card or the main event and serve as the gatekeeper for Superstars newer to the WWE by being their first feud.

Even though Paige isn't an active competitor, she's still a valuable asset to the WWE. The fans love her and she's a great interview/panelist on PPV pre-shows and WWE Backstage. She was even one of the judges on the most recent Tough Enough. She's been in the business for practically her entire life and she will remain with the company for the foreseeable future. Will she get the clearance to return to competition just like Daniel Bryan did two years ago? We can only hope the Anti-Diva returns one day.
