WWE News: Paige reveals her next role in WWE
What's the story?
Since the McMahons vowed to change the landscape of WWE, essentially making the role of General Manager redundant, Paige has been off of WWE screens and today confirmed that she almost definitely won't be returning to the ring.
However, the former NXT Women's Champion has opened up in an interview with Sky Sports about her next role - stating that she'd love to be a manager.
In case you didn't know...
In 2017, Paige made her comeback to wrestling following a lengthy spell on the sidelines, but her triumphant return was cut short when the former NXT Women's Champion was injured during a six-woman tag team match at a New York house show.
Due to Paige's previous serious neck injury and history with scoliosis, the Norwich-born star was reportedly told she had no future as an in-ring competitor and worked as a manager for Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose before finally saying goodbye to the WWE Universe on WWE RAW in an emotional retirement speech.
The next night, though, Paige was revealed to be the General Manager of SmackDown Live - a role she has completely excelled in where she can use her incredible mic skills, but with none of the physicality.
In an interview last year with Planeta Wrestling, while still in her role as General Manager, Paige revealed her aspirations going forward.
I would do anything. Right now I’m really happy being SmackDown General Manager. It can open so many different doors. I can be so many different characters just being SmackDown General Manager. I can be a good guy, bad guy, whatever I want.
I would love to be a manager kinda like Paul Heyman one day. I would love to do anything, anything.
The heart of the matter
Speaking with Sky Sports at Royal Rumble AXXESS, Paige revealed that she would love to be a manager in WWE now that she doesn't have an official role - although the former General Manager did state that she's happy doing anything, so long as it's in WWE. You can watch the entire clip below.
What's next?
Hopefully, we see Paige back on our screens soon. Personally, I'd love to see her as a manager or even on commentary!
