WWE Extreme Rules 2014 Results: Did Paige Survive Tamina Or Did She Suffer The Tropical Storm

Paige is considered a miracle WWE Divas champion because of how she won it. However, being a miracle can also mean being a fluke. This time, she will need to defend her title against “the toughest diva” on the current roster, Tamina Snuka, at WWE Extreme Rules. By the end of the night, it would be apparent that she is no fluke, as she defeated Tamina to retain.

This match begins back on the first WWE Monday Night RAW after Wrestlemania XXX. WWE fans were mixed with feelings of utter shock from the Undertaker having his Undefeated Streak broken by Brock Lesnar, and elation that the wrestler representing them, Daniel Bryan, was finally champion. However, another memorable moment at Wrestlemania XXX was when the longest-reigning divas champion, AJ Lee, defeated the entire divas roster in a single night. It was so memorable that Paige, fresh off of NXT, came out to congratulate AJ. Unfortunately for Paige, AJ took it as an insult as she smacked around Paige for a bit, then forced her into a match. Her hubris took over too as she put her divas title on the line. Soon misfortune, would turn to fortune for Paige, as she did what no diva could do for 294 days, defeat AJ Lee for the championship. The win was so sudden, even AJ less was surprised when she realized what had happened.

Over the next few weeks, Paige would defend her title against Alicia Fox and Aksana in which she scored victories. She also introduced her second finisher, the Modified Scorpion Crosslock. However, her biggest challenge would come in the form of a Tropical Storm, who so happened to be AJ Lee’s bodyguard and only friend, Tamina Snuka. The “toughest diva on the current roster” earned her chance to dethrone the “diva of tomorrow” by winning an over-the-top-rope divas battle royale for the #1 contender spot at WWE Extreme Rules. Since then, she’s been prepared to make Paige a memory and gain the championship for the first time in her career.

At WWE Extreme Rules 2014, Paige quickly set the pace of the match. She wanted it to be fast so that Tamina wouldn’t have enough time to think. With numerous pinning situations applied, Tamina spent most of the start of the bout kicking out. It was when Paige attempted to do a headscissors takedown from the ring apron to Tamina standing outside the ring that the match slowed. Paige connected, but she wasn’t able to follow through with the takedown as Tamina swung her into the barricade.

The diva of tomorrow almost gave in to the overbearing power of the tropical storm diva, but her tenacity kept her in the match as she countered Tamina’s super kick into the setup for the Modified Scorpion Crosslock. Tamina was in shock as she realized what was happening, and then it was too late when her arms were hooked backwards and her body was lifted off the canvas. Tamina couldn’t take it anymore as she tapped out in submission.

With a history-making introduction and a successful WWE pay-per-view victory under her belt, Paige shows now signs of slowing. But will it be short lived? Because eventually, the “Best Diva in the World” will return and maybe, just maybe, Paige might find herself submitting to the will of the Black Widow.
