WWE STRIPS CHAMPION

By Mike Johnson on 2014-04-24 09:42:40
WWE will announce that NXT General Manager JBL has stripped NXT Women's champion Paige of her belt with the story being that she cannot hold that title and the WWE Divas championship. The segment will feature Paige initially refusing but finally concedes after she is told that due to her schedule as Divas champion, it isn't fair to the NXT talents to not have that belt to compete for.

The segment will be inserted into this week's NXT TV and released online. I believe it was shot at Monday's Raw taping, but I am not 100% sure on that.

A storyline that will fill the NXT Women's championship will kick off at tonight's taping in Full Sail Live in Winter Park, Florida.

Paige won the championship in June 2013, becoming the first NXT Women's champion after winning a tournament, defeating Emma.
