The Women's Revolution in WWE may have started with the main roster arrivals of Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, and Becky Lynch but it was given the initial big push by the likes of AJ Lee and Paige. Paige, the inaugural NXT Women's Champion, made a huge impact on her first night on WWE RAW as she defeated AJ Lee to become the youngest Divas Champion at 21.

Paige's star started to fade in 2015, and injuries, controversies, and wellness policy violations heavily impacted her wrestling career after the summer of 2016. However, she was able to turn things around and made her triumphant return to WWE in November 2017.

By that time, Paige had realized that there was strength in numbers and brought along Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, and the trio referred to themselves as "Absolution". It looked like Paige was comfortable in her role as the villainous leader of a destructive trio.

But unfortunately, just a month later, she suffered a career-ending injury during a live event as she found herself at the receiving end of a stiff kick delivered by Sasha Banks. Not only would this injury prevent Paige from participating in the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble match but it would also force her into retiring from in-ring action.
