Paige Says Being Grateful For WWE Return Won't Stop Her For Fighting For TV Time

Earlier this year at WrestleMania 42, Paige made a surprising return to WWE, teaming up with Brie Bella to compete in Nikki Bella's stead after an injury put her on the shelf. Outside of her reign as one half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, Paige hasn't been heavily featured on "WWE SmackDown," with her most recent bout being a loss to Kelani Jordan on "WWE NXT."

Sitting down for an interview with Metro, Paige shared her thoughts on the amount of TV time she's been given as of late. "I do appreciate every single second that I get to be on TV and in that ring," she said. "The fact that I managed to return after eight years, I am so grateful for that, but that doesn't mean I won't put my foot down when it comes to TV time."

While she does have her own interests at heart, Paige still wants the entire women's locker room to get opportunities as well. "They work their a** off. The men work their a** off too, but you know how it is," she explained. "I am vocal, and this time around I'm always gonna be that person. I think WWE knows that already. And I feel like they love me for it. At the same time, it might be a pain in the a** to deal with me sometimes!"

Paige has always been vocal about the television time women get, dating back to her first run in WWE, where she helped kick off the "Women's Revolution." Even in AEW while competing as Saraya, she voiced her opinions of how women were being booked, pushing for more complex storylines.
