Recently, Paige posted a tweet showing off her neck brace, and mentioned how she spent the last two years of her in-ring career wearing the brace. Paige added that her neck feels wonderful at the moment, after undergoing two fusions.
AEW star Britt Baker was quick to respond, and challenged the former SmackDown General Manager to a match.
Paige accomplished a lot during her short stint as a top WWE female
Paige was the first-ever NXT Women's Champion. Her stock only kept rising after she made her way to the main roster in 2014, immediately after WrestleMania 30. She went on to win two Divas titles on the main roster, before her career came to an end.
Paige's tweet led to a barrage of fans storming her timeline, with many hoping that there's still a chance of a return somewhere down the line. It would be interesting to see what Paige has to say in response to Baker's challenge.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
