It’s been a long time since WWE fans have seen Paige wrestle. She was out of action for most of 2016, and following the neck surgery she underwent last year, she’s spent most of 2017 recovering.
But she recently started training at the WWE Performance Center again, and she’s been cleared for in-ring action.
Paige made her surprise return to Monday Night Raw last week, and she returned in a big way. The former WWE Divas Champion returned alongside Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville who debuted on the main roster, and it looks like the trio are going to make a big impact on the red brand’s women’s division.
Tonight Paige will be wrestling her first match on Raw in well over a year, and Mike Rome announced earlier today that she’ll be teaming up with Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville to take on the team of Mickie James, Sasha Banks and Bayley.

It looks like Paige is being set up to be the main heel of the Raw women’s division, and that’s a role we all know she can play well.
In any case, the long wait is over, as she will finally be returning to the ring tonight.
