Though this may not have been Paige's first match in her entire WWE career, the anti-Diva's first bout on the main roster is easily her most historic win. After dominating in NXT, Paige was called up on the RAW after WrestleMania 30, interrupting AJ Lee. Lee, full of confidence after defeating every woman on the main roster the night before, challenged the Brit to a match, even offering to put her title on the line.

This proved to be AJ's undoing, as Paige would get the upset win, capturing Lee's Divas title in the process, ending her reign at 295 days. In a matter of minutes, Paige had become the biggest woman in wrestling, and her win marked the end of a certain era in wrestling, as it was clear that women's Superstars were expected to have skills and looks. Though real-life issues would prevent her career from progressing much further, nothing could ever take away this incredible win.
