ATLANTA– Former friends make the most formidable of enemies. They know your secrets, your frailties, just the right words to bring your blood to fiery boil. Exhibit A: Paige. The former Divas Champion and current queen of cattiness tapped out to the Divas Champion Charlotte at Survivor Series 2015 in an intensely personal rivalry that shows scant signs of relenting.
The Divas’ friendship was forged in July when the two joined forces alongside Becky Lynch to create Team PCB as part of the Divas Revolution. Victories quickly followed, but jealousy would soon cast a shadow over the team’s sunny camaraderie.
When Charlotte captured the Divas Title at Night of Champions, Paige could scarcely contain her resentment. She berated Charlotte and Becky the following night, claiming it was her and her alone that started the revolution of the Divas division. Most vilely, during the contract signing on Raw, Paige shocked the WWE Universe and enraged the Divas Champion with a controversial diatribe that sparked a brawl around the ring.
That animosity seethed inside the ring at Survivor Series from the opening bell. Charlotte locked in the Figure-Four Leglock to punishing effect. Paige would exact revenge in the form of a series of knees to her opponent’s face. After Charlotte hit a short-range spear, the challenger left the ring to recoup. Big mistake: The Divas Champion leveled her with another spear off the top of the barricade, the impact of which softened Paige for what came next. Charlotte dragged her opponent into the ring and snapped on the Figure-Eight Leglock, finally forcing Paige to tap out.
Although the score appeared to be settled at Survivor Series, the rivalry between these two headstrong Divas is certain to continue smoldering far into the future.
