#5. Paige wants to return to WWE as a General Manager
It's been a while since Paige appeared on TV despite the former Divas Champion still being a contracted member of the company.
Paige took to Twitter recently to send out a message to Vince McMahon regarding becoming General Manager once again.
Paige spent a brief spell as a SmackDown authority figure after retiring from in-ring competition in 2018.
Paige held on to her position for a few months until the McMahon family regained power in the storyline. The 29-year-old star would love to be involved with WWE as a GM again, as revealed by the superstar below:
Yo @WWE @VinceMcMahon since you brought GMs back a while ago.. https://t.co/KWGZKjn213
Paige's recent tweet came on the back of her claim to be the best General Manager.
I was the best GM. twitter.com/smfishman/stat…
Paige's name has often trended on social media as she is actively working towards an in-ring return. The talented wrestler had to hang up her wrestling boots due to recurring neck issues.
She has drawn inspiration from the likes of Daniel Bryan and Edge and is hoping to make a similarly triumphant comeback to wrestling.
While getting cleared to compete isn't the easiest of tasks in WWE, retaining her General Manager spot could be a realistic possibility for Paige.
A surprise return at the Royal Rumble can't be ruled out either.
