Saturday’s WWE WrestleMania 42 Night 1 event also featured a four way match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Before the start of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Fatal Four way match, Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss, Lyra Valkyria, & Bayley, and The Irresistible Forces (Lash Legend & Nia Jax) all came out for their entrances one after another. The Bellas’ Nikki & Brie Bella came out next with Nikki walking with the assistance of a crutch and holding a microphone. Nikki stated that she tried her best but was unable to get medically cleared to compete in time. Nikki continued stated that she didn’t want to ruin Brie’s WrestleMania moment and called an “old friend” to replace her. This led to Paige’s music playing and her coming out to the ring to a loud ovation from the crowd.
During the match Paige stood on the apron as fans patiently waited for her to tag in. When she finally got the hot tag she dominated the match and hit the Page Turner on Lyra Valkyria, but Bayley broke up the pin. Shortly after Paige and Charlotte teamed up to clear the ring then the two stars faced off one on one. Nikki Bella pulled Charlotte out of the ring and hit The Queen with her crutch.
Shortly after Paige hit the Rampaige on Alexa Bliss to win the match and the WWE Tag Team Championship. After the bell rang, Paige and Brie held up the belts while Nikki celebrated with the new champions.
This was Paige’s first appearance in WWE since June of 2022.
