While the ladies of wrestling are surging during the current Divas Revolution, Paige believes there's someone else who deserves a lot of the credit -- Triple H.
The two-time Divas Champion recently lauded "The Game," who is a backstage executive and works closely with wrestling's fearless females in NXT and the WWE, for the current boost in the division.

"Just seeing him come in and completely take what was then called FCW like under his wing and make it into this huge brand to the point where it sold out in Brooklyn -- 15,000 people are coming to watch NXT -- that's mind blowing," Paige told "Busted Open Radio" on Sirius XM, "and it's all because of that guy. He really wanted to make it a success and he really did, especially with the Divas.
"He really did give the Divas a chance in NXT -- like me and Emma, the first network show that we did -- he really gave us a chance on there and it just progressed. He killed it. He knocked it out of the park with it. We're all extremely thankful for the opportunity that he gave every single one of us."
WWE Potentially Spoils Results Of Two Big Matches For NXT Takeover: Brooklyn
Triple H has received a lot of acclaim for his work in NXT and the future of the WWE will be on full display when the company puts on NXT Takeover: Brooklyn at the Barclays Center on Saturday. Sasha Banks vs. Bayley for the NXT Women's Championship is one of the highlighted bouts featured on the card.
Banks recently received a promotion to the main roster, where she has partnered up with Naomi and Tamina to form the trio Team B.A.D. (Beautiful & Dangerous).
The faction is one of three groups that are currently revitalizing the division. Paige is a member of P.C.B. along with WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair's daughter Charlotte and former NXT sensation Becky Lynch. Charlotte and Lynch were both called up at the same time as Banks to change the dynamic of the division.
The two triads are at odds with Team Bella, which is captained by WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella and also includes her sister Brie Bella and Alicia Fox. The three groups have made the Divas division a lot more interesting as the WWE has given it a huge angle, an influx of new talent and more ring time to work with.
Paige, who turned 23 on Monday, has already accomplished a lot in the Divas division at such a young age. The Norwich, England, native ended AJ Lee's record 295-day reign as Divas Champion in her debut match. She then won the gold a second time from Lee at last year's SummerSlam. Nikki Bella is on Day 267 as the title-holder and is rapidly approaching Lee's record.
All three of these cliques will clash at SummerSlam in a huge nine-Diva elimination match live this Sunday from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
