Paige says her old submission finisher, the Paige Tap Out (PTO), could soon be back in her WWE matches. The former Divas Champion gave the update on May 16 after a fan asked on X when she planned to use it again, and her reply was short: “Soon.” She has mostly leaned on her RamPaige since coming back at WrestleMania 42, where she teamed with Brie Bella and won the Women's Tag Team Championship. The PTO is a scorpion cross-lock submission, so bringing it back would give her another move people already know. No return date has been announced yet.

I'll bring it back soon! ????⚡️

Paige gave a short update after a fan asked about the PTO

It all happened on X, where a fan wanted to know when she would bring the submission back. She answered with one word, “Soon,” plus a smirking emoji. The post didn't name any match or give a date for the move's return.

The PTO, short for Paige Tap Out, was one of the moves tied to her first WWE run and it uses a scorpion cross-lock hold. RamPaige, on the other hand, is the signature move that has been seen more regularly since her comeback.

Paige returned at WrestleMania 42 after years away from WWE's ring

Her WWE return came at WrestleMania 42 in April 2026. Nikki Bella couldn't compete in the Women's Tag Team Championship match, so Paige stepped in to team with Brie Bella. The pair beat the other three teams to take the titles, and Paige hit RamPaige on Alexa Bliss to get the win.

It followed a long break from WWE in-ring competition. A neck injury in 2017 forced her to stop wrestling for the company, and she joined AEW in 2022 after getting medical clearance, returning to ring under the name Saraya. Then in April 2026, Paige said WWE needed medical clearance and a drug test before approving her comeback.

She also explained in a 2025 interview with Chris Van Vliet why she picked AEW when both promotions got in touch. WWE had talked about a possible General Manager role, while AEW offered to sign her brother, Zak Knight.

“They were just like, we'll sign your brother. And I was like, ok,” she recalled.

Paige left AEW in 2025 and went back to WWE the following year. Her final AEW match took place on October 8, 2024, in a four-way bout on Dynamite.
