Former WWE Diva’s Champion Paige announced earlier today that she will be departing WWE on July 7.
Finishing up the statement, Paige, now going by her real name Saraya, claimed that we hadn’t seen the last of her in the ring, and she’d be returning to the ring, anywhere.
Naturally for a star the callibre of Paige, our mind immediately jumps to AEW, and the numerous dream matches waiting for her in the land of the Elite.
How many? Well here are six Paige AEW dream matches.
6. Britt Baker
Being the number one star in AEW’s women’s division, Britt Baker is a name that will constantly creep up on any list detailing dream matches in AEW’s women’s division.
The money in an angle between Paige and Baker would mostly stem from mic work, as that is definitely Baker’s strong suit, and Paige herself is no slouch on the microphone either.
Interestingly enough however, this time, I actually don’t think Baker is the most exciting potential opponent for Paige in her own stable…
5. Jamie Hayter
Aside from both of them being English, I can’t help but get vibes of a young Paige when I watch Jamie Hayter in the ring on Dynamite.
An alliance between Paige and Hayter would rule, but a match between the two would be where the money is at.
Hayter could benefit a lot from sitting under the learning tree of a veteran like Paige, and a series of matches between the two would be really fun.
4. Athena
I don’t think it’s possible for two wrestlers to have narrowly missed each other as much as Paige and Ember Moon did during their time in WWE.
Ember made her main roster debut on the Raw after WrestleMania 34, the same show where Paige announced her retirement from in-ring competition.
With Paige teasing a return to the ring outside of WWE, the two could once again meet up in AEW, but this time, a match could be on the cards.
3. Toni Storm
Toni Storm was another name that Paige missed in WWE, with her competing in the 2017 Mae Young Classic, before winning the 2018 edition of the tournament.
Paige vs Toni Storm is one of those matches that you don’t really think about, but given 10 seconds of thought, would be a really fun match to help expand any women’s roster in the world.
2. Thunder Rosa
Current AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa is arguably the best wrestler in AEW’s women’s division, so any woman who enters the company would benefit from facing her.
Thunder Rosa and Paige as a big AEW Women’s title match at an upcoming pay-per-view would be a good draw, and a kick-ass match to boot.
However, there is one star in AEW’s women’s division who has an easy to tell story waiting for Paige, that being…
1. Ruby Soho
The parallels between Paige and Ruby Soho are almost too good to pass up on when it comes to a big future storyline between the two.
Both women arrived on WWE television as the leader of a group of three (Paige returning as the leader of Absolution and Ruby debuting as the leader of the Riott Squad) within the exact same week.
Both share a very distinct style, rocking ‘alternative’ ‘anti-diva’ appearances, plus they’re both just really good at wrestling. Stable warfare between these two would have happened in WWE in 2018 had Paige not retired, and better late than never I say.
