Paige has paved the way for the new generation of women superstars to start the Women’s Revolution that would go on to become Evolution. It’s unfortunate that she’s not there down the road after suffering the career-threatening neck injury but her contribution is something undeniable. She is a pioneer who also was the inaugural NXT Women’s Champion to make history.
Since that day, Paige would go on to become one of the most popular female WWE Superstars to have ever stepped foot into a WWE ring. She was a key figure in revolutionized the division and in the development of women’s wrestling. After all, she is someone who has been wrestling in the year 13 all around the UK and thus gathering huge experiences. However, she almost missed out on the first big break in her career.

While speaking on the Oral Sessions Podcast, Paige talked about her monumental NXT Women’s Championship tournament win to become the inaugural champion by defeating Tenille Dashwood fka Emma. She underwent surgery prior to that match and was close to missing that match as WWE doctors medically disqualified her. Then she again qualified the day she won that title on NXT.

“First of all, I want to talk about – just for one second – the day that I won the NXT Women’s Championship for the first time. I was actually cleared that day to wrestle. I nearly missed it. I had a damn cyst on my ovaries, and I had to have surgery to remove it. Hunter actually cleared me that day. Could you imagine if I hadn’t been cleared? I was so thankful that the doctor said I was cleared to go.”
Although not confirmed, Paige previously talked about her ovary issues in the past during an episode of WWE Total Divas. She seemed pretty unhappy over the fact how she may not become a mother, ever. Perhaps, this situation has something to do with the ovary cyst she had talked about during this interview.
As for the NXT Title win, Paige entered a tournament to determine the first NXT Women’s Champion in June 2013. She defeated Tamina Snuka and Alicia Fox, en route to the final, in which she defeated Emma to become the inaugural champion. She would go on to have a solid title run for 308 days before vacating the belt as she moved to the main roster and became the WWE Divas Champion on the very first day on Raw.
