The Bella’s clearly helped Paige a lot in her WWE run and for that, she is grateful.
Paige’s WWE contract is set to expire on July 7th, and it will be the end of an 11 year tenure signed to the company. Paige has been a former Diva’s champion and GM of SmackDown during her time in the promotion, and two of her biggest rivals were The Bellas.
Outside the ring however, The Bellas took Paige under her wing. Paige expressed her gratitude to the sisters in a letter penned in The Players Tribune:
Gratitude to people like the Bellas, who took me under their wing when they definitely didn’t have to. This business hasn’t always been the most encouraging place for strong women, and I admire how Nikki and Brie just came in and said, “You know what? Fuck that.” The Bellas empowered me, and then they taught me how to empower myself.

Paige retired from the ring a few years ago due to accumulative neck injuries, but she will be remembered as one of the pivotal parts of the Women’s Revolution in the WWE.
