- 4:32 PMCageside Seats — The Paige SmackDown segment that was ‘cut due to logistical reasons’
"According to a report from PW Insider, at least at one point there was a segment with Paige that was scheduled to be part of the Friday Night SmackDown broadcast this week but they say it was “cut due to logistical reasons.” Like they did with so many other segments they seemingly didn’t have time for, they simply put it online. Here it is: “Nikki, since you decided to try to rewrite history last week let us set the record straight. You said that you single handedly revitalized my career. Well, last time I checked, I don’t remember you being there by my side when I was working tirelessly, every single day for eight years, just to get back to WWE. Then you said I was leeching off you and your sister. Well, let’s go back to the last week of WrestleMania. Did I come begging to be an honorary Bella for my big return after being gone for nearly a decade? No. You called me. You asked for my help and because I loved Brie and I agreed, I was willing to share that moment because she needed me. You weren’t there for her. “You blamed me for being cheated out of the tag titles and losing at SummerSlam, even though I had to save you from getting pinned not just once but twice. You act like you’re doing this to support your sister but really you’re just jealous that someone else took your spot. Oh, and did it better. You say that you’re going to make whatever career I have left pure misery. Well, good luck keeping up baby girl, because this is my house and I plan on being here for a very long time.” That would be Paige’s response to Nikki Bella, who led the Bella Twins in turning against Paige after a run with the tag team titles. Her sister, Brie, was injured and now these two are left to feud with each other while she recovers. I’m not sure why we had to get multiple replays in place of this video, with its beefy runtime of 1 minute, 29 seconds, but that’s for the powers that be at WWE to explain, I suppose. Your thoughts?
