Paige failed to make an appearance due to travel issues on last week's edition of SmackDown.

With the coronavirus outbreak in mind, Paige joined viewers via a Skype interview with Michael Cole this week. But Sasha Banks and Bayley interrupted Paige right away.

They pointed out how it was unacceptable that Paige failed to appear at the Performance Centre for two weeks straight. Sasha ad Bayley also mocked Paige's retirement at the same time.

Paige revealed that she spoke to her friends at FOX, who allowed her to announce Bayley's competition at WrestleMania this year. Bayley will defend her SmackDown Women's Title against Lacey Evans, Dana Brooke, Tamina Snuka, Naomi, and Sasha Banks in a Six-Pack Challenge at the big event.

People had speculated that Sasha may turn on Bayley during the Road to WrestleMania 36, or Paige's big announcement was that she was facing the champion in a return match at the Grandest Stage of them All.

WWE ended up opting for a slightly different scenario of the former option. A Six-Pack Challenge would have been meaningless, but Sasha's inclusion adds more to the story of a multi-woman match at WrestleMania.
