Given Paige has been on the main roster awhile now, wrestling wise have you been impressed?

I love Paige. She's got such an awesome gimmick and personality, and she's so damn sexy it hurts, but honestly I don't see how anyone can be impressed with her in ring, and she really has been a disappointment to me. It also doesn't help that the divas on NXT seem to be KILLIN IT when it comes to their work. I mean seriously they are more exciting than the men alot of the times.

When I think of Paige on the main roster, I honestly can't think of ONE match where she really impressed me. It's a shame too because I felt she had some great matches in NXT.

Now could it be the lack of time? Or maybe it's her opponents? I don't know but I swear even with the lack of time, at least she could put some more UMPH into her moves but most of the time they don't even have that.

Or maybe she's become complacent? Maybe the WWE gave her too many title wins too fast now she doesn't feel she needs to work hard? I dunno I just don't understand how anyone can say she's great in the ring honestly.

I feel as if WWE put her on the main roster to fast and gave her the WWE Divas Championship too early. Quit frequently I have not been impressed by her. The whole "I'm an anti diva" thing is not new. She reminds me of Aj lee and God I can't stand Aj. I think that WWE needs to change her character and give her some killer finishers although I do like the page tuner.

I'm a blind Paige mark and i am always impressed with her. She is def. capable of better matches, but this may just be part and parcel of what it means to be a WWE Diva nowadays. Let her work with some NXT women with the freedom they are allowed for their matches, and Paige can prove she still has it.
Yea this is really what I'm hoping for. I think if any of the "Four Horsewomen" of NXT ever got called up to the main roster they each could give Paige a run for her money.

She's better than 90% of former face of division since Michelle McCool.
in main roster alone I think I saw her had a good match with Naomi(MITB), Triple Threat(NOC) and most of Nikki Bella series. maybe she should learn about working on a squash match but I think I'm satisfy enough in her important match.

I agree 100 percent. None of the main roster Divas have been consistently impressive, but Brie, Naomi, and Paige, have shown more good, than bad overall.

I have a feeling the Triple threat this Sunday is going to rock!

She was overpushed from the beginning, just giving her the title like that wasn't the right move to make.

I like that she has more personality than she used to, it seems somebody snapped her out of that "mechanic" stage where she thought she could get over by just wrestling good, well as good as could be allowed.

She's still young, maybe she'll develop more and considering I'm not totally bored by this new storyline with Naomi I can say I'm beginning to get into her a bit more than I used to be.

No, the only good thing about her it's being drop dead gorgeous, but that shit not gonna impress me.

Maybe when she finally drop all that social media shit youngsters her age does she gonna start being good, the girl focuses more on upload selfies and male strippers than getting better at promos and improve her so so ring skills.

I love her, but mostly because she's British and pale. Representin' me in two ways, right thurr.

In-ring, she seems pretty good. Definitely has some really good moves and seems pretty confident. Doesn't have the best opponents though. As soon as Charlotee, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Bayley make it to the main roster, we should start seeing some great Paige matches.

Although, Emma's already there, and we've yet to see Emma vs Paige. So who knows.

I like Paige and think she has talent, but I have some issues with her ringwork and character.

Nearly every match is the same. Kicks, knees, headbutts, gets beat up for a while, clotheslines, dropkick, spin kick, finisher. She does too many strikes and basically no actual moves until her finisher.

She's done a lot better in promos lately, but I've never liked her "my house" catchphrase (is that a UK thing?).

Everything I'm complaining about may be because of WWE micromanagement. Who knows? Regardless of the reasons, she's become very repetitive.

I've seen Paige on NXT and RAW and I honestly, see no difference in the way she wrestles now and the way she wrestled then.

Nearly every match is the same. Kicks, knees, headbutts, gets beat up for a while, clotheslines, dropkick, spin kick, finisher. She does too many strikes and basically no actual moves until her finisher.
No offense intended, but this is how all the diva matches on NXT are performed, combined with a bunch of taunting. The matches have never been anything special, which is why I get annoyed with fans calling those divas superior to those of the main roster. The matches are just 10 minutes longer than the matches on RAW. When Paige was allowed a 10 minute match, with Nikki Bella on Main Event, she performed just like one would expect.

I haven't been impressed with the divas division since Trish's departure, but I am a fan of Paige-- just not impressed by her wrestling ability or mic skills, but I like her. I haven't been impressed with anybody's wrestling ability to tell you the truth.

She's hardly had a decent match since moving to the main roster, and she only had a couple of good matches back in NXT.

Compare that to The girls in NXT right now, or girls on the main roster like Nattie, Fox, Emma, and arguably Naomi and Nikki, and Paige has been underwhelming.

I don't get it though, as she had some great matches in shimmer etc.


I think she's getting by on her look, which a lot of peopple seem to gravitate to. I typically love a pale brunette too, but she's just never clicked that way with me. Her character work has been depressing lately too.

But aesthetic and character wouldn't even be an issue if she could just put on a good match sometime soon.

I liked her but lately, I have been annoyed by her. I mean, it looks like she acts like AJ Lee with those stupid facial expressions and damn, she maybe improved on the mic but I still remember that " We are the weirdos, we are the freak,... " line from the Smackdown before Wrestlemania, how stupid was that and let's not talk about that " Queen of Botchamania " line tha, thankfully, we never got to hear

But that's a shame because seriously, she have the potential to be so much more. She isn't bad in the ring, she has a look that stand-out ( white skin, tall and attire ), she have a different style of wrestling, I mean, she could be a larger-than-life diva, she could really add something to the roster but instead, she is just being generic to me

Paige is a brawler whose strikes are all weak and lifeless except for her side kick. Much like Ziggler and Ambrose her moveset lacks impact and wow factor. Unlike them her psychology isn't good enough to make a match interesting off that alone. If Paige didn't get Aryan dicks hard she'd be held in the same regard as Summer Rae or Tamina as a worker.

Easy thread to get the same haters that have crapped on Paige since her debut ammo to talk about how much she "sucks". In reality Paige is very good. In NXT she had some very good matches and before NXT even better. On the main roster the wwe wants all of its stars t have a set moveset. It is what it is. It will be the same way when the other girls get called up. At the end of the day the company cares more about entertainment and who has the ability to get the crowd going then the actual wrestling. That's why you see better matches on NXT than the wwe. Since January I have not seen any diva get the reactions Paige has been getting consistently and since before paige even debuted I have never seen a diva have so many marks and haters at the same time. Shes a star and a huge asset to the company, its just the way it is.

It'll be exactly the same when sasha,charlotte,becky etc get called up. Everyone was praising paige,summer and emma the exact same way sasha and the gang at nxt are being praised now. As soon as they get called up to the main roster they'll have their in ring time majorly reduced and most of their moveset taken away from them. (people will then start saying they're overhyped as well) If i were them i'd rather stay at nxt.

Paige has always been a bit on the brawler side. Its the main style her family uses from the old documentary on the Knight family.


Here's a "Queen of the ring" match

https://youtu.be/BHgZrlHJOc4




You can see Paige, her mom, Becky Lynch made up a 3 team called Knight Dynasty. And its breakup when Paige wrestled her mom on YouTube.

Here's Paige, Becky Lynch, and Paige's mom as Paige and Becky dance and goof off

All the divas suffer from the small talent pool being used on raw. It's also the fault of a lot of her fans (me included) for expecting her to be the dynamite kid of the divas division.

Some say she's been amazing others say she's shit. I think the truth lies in the middle. We should be better able to judge all the divas if they bring up the nxt women and give the division at least two 8 minute segments a week.
