WWE’s biggest surprise of WrestleMania 42 didn’t involve a title change or a legendary retirement — it was the jaw-dropping return of **Paige**, the woman who redefined what a WWE Diva could be. And she’s not done yet.

Paige confirmed via her official social media that she will appear **live on SmackDown tonight (April 24, 2026)**, continuing the momentum from her explosive WrestleMania comeback.

#### What Happened at WrestleMania 42?

At WrestleMania 42 Night 1 inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Paige stepped in for an injured Nikki Bella and partnered with **Brie Bella** in the **WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship** match — and they won. It wasn’t a nostalgia cameo. It was a championship-winning performance.
