* [[https://youtu.be/ONQDmrC_GkI?t=2584 During an August 2022 interview with Renee Paquette]] (a month after she officially parted ways with the WWE), Paige relayed a story of how immediately after her sex tape leak, she ended up spiralling into a serious drug problem that ended up catching the immense concern of WWE officials, many persistently offering to help her through it. She initially rejected the help, but changed her mind and eventually reunited with management, where upon Wrestling/TripleH, Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon, and even Wrestling/VinceMcMahon himself gave her massive hugs, all immensely relieved that she was still alive and with them. They assured to her "This is your home. You grew up here. We want you to stay here," a promise they kept to the very end.

* Right before the tournament final to crown the new NXT Women's Champion (after Paige herself had to vacate the title), Paige appears first to thank the fans for her success; declaring she wouldn't be anywhere without them or NXT. She also states that she's proud of being the first ever NXT Women's Champion, and declares that whoever wins the title next is "holding the keys to the future", then proudly raising her Divas' Championship aloft.

* Paige's entire run as ''Smackdown Live''[='=]s baby{{face}} General Manager. Although coming up short regarding achievements[[note]]no member of the roster managed to get any ''Wrestling/MoneyInTheBank'' briefcase, and the brand got [[CurbStompBattle sweeped]] at ''Survivor Series''[[/note]], her management and treatment of the roster kept her popularity at the higher levels, the roster itself got boosted with a bunch of undeniably talented superstars at the beginning of her era, and the women division's [[Wrestling/BeckyLynch biggest]] [[Wrestling/CharlotteFlair feud]] happened during this time. Compare that to ''Raw''[='=]s power struggles between Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin, and the latter's disappointing and unpopular run as acting GM. So when the time came for the [=McMahon=] family to retake control of both ''Raw'' and ''Smackdown'', while Corbin got unceremoniously sacked, Paige got a standing ovation, and a warm farewell from her roster, with even Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon himself not holding any bad blood upon the ''SS'' sweep and acknowledging Paige's job.

* Even though the "Diva of the Year" segment of the 2015 Slammy awards was an obvious TakeThat/parody of Steve Harvey calling the wrong winner at the Miss Universe pageant a few days beforehand, the ending was pretty sweet to say the least. Paige is obviously pissed at R-Truth (who announced the winner) and is about to attack him before Nikki tries to calm her down and asks her to join her at the podium for her speech, after which the two women hugged. Considering what these two womens' characters had been through with each other all year, it was nice to see them put aside their differences for this moment.

* "A New Paige In Divas History:" The video of her emotional reception and interview backstage after winning the Divas' championship in front of the post-Wrestlemania crowd (known for its high smark population, who predictably popped ''huge'' for her at her appearance). She was so overcome with emotion, she could barely speak. Not that she needed to, since the second she was backstage, she was greeted in a massive group hug by what appeared to be '''every single Diva from NXT who was in the building.''' She was genuinely surprised at how many fans she actually had already - not to mention winning the Divas' title meant that all the hard work and risks she took to get to this point (such as leaving behind her home country and family's indy promotion) had paid off.
