5 Stars who could be WWE's higher authority 

#2. Former WWE SmackDown General Manager Paige

Paige hasn't appeared on WWE TV for more than a year, but there has to be a reason why the former Divas Champion has remained part of the company throughout their recent cuts.

Paige was once an Authority figure on SmackDown until she was let go by Shane McMahon when it was decided that the company didn't need General Managers on their shows.

It's unclear as to whether or not Paige will be cleared to make her WWE return in the future given her ongoing neck injury, but if she was able to return then she could step into a feud with Sonya Deville.

Deville has become the authority figure in her absence and would be the perfect woman for Paige to open up a feud with, if she is unveiled as the company's higher power.

Paige has been in this position before and as a former champion she is also able to hold her own in the ring. Paige could be unveiled at the end of Deville's feud with Naomi and the two women could battle it out for the right to be the company's main authority figure.
