Paige Returning to WWE Ring at WrestleMania 42 to Replace Nikki Bella

TLDR

According to PWInsider, Paige has signed to return to WWE and is expected to wrestle at WrestleMania 42, potentially replacing Nikki Bella in Saturday's Women's Tag Team Championship Fatal Four-Way match. Bella has not been cleared after suffering an ankle injury on SmackDown several weeks ago, while Paige was reportedly brought into Las Vegas quietly and seen taking part in a match run-through earlier this week. This would mark Paige's first WWE match in years after she was forced to retire in 2018 due to a neck injury, later wrestled in AEW where she won the AEW Women's Championship, and departed that company in 2025.
