#3. Former WWE Divas Champion Paige
Paige has played a crucial role in the Women's Revolution in WWE. Nonetheless, she had to retire prematurely due to injury. The 29-year-old, however, might make her long-awaited comeback to the WWE ring next year.
Earlier this year, Paige hinted at a possible return to in-ring action. She shared a photo of Edge and Bryan Danielson, who had similar career-ending injuries and returned to wrestling, and captioned it "one day."

The Anti-Diva has dropped more hints in recent months. In August, the former Divas Champion posted a tweet saying: "I'm not done yet," shortly after discussing the possibility of returning to the ring on her Twitch stream. The following month, she tweeted the word "January," which raised speculation that she could make her long-awaited comeback next month.
Although her WWE contract will expire in a few months, the former Divas Champion might make her in-ring return at the Royal Rumble on January 29, 2022. Much like Trish, Paige could be a surprise entrant in the Women's Royal Rumble match.
The Anti-Diva has not appeared on WWE television since 2020. Despite retiring from in-ring action in 2018, she played different roles in WWE in the past few years, including becoming SmackDown General Manager and the manager of the Kabuki Warriors.
