Probably because she doesn't care anymore. I wouldn't. I'd ask to be sent back to NXT.

I thought it was fine except for that insult, it was cheap and needless.
Everything else is good. I like her interview style. The arrogance is great.

I didn't see a problem with her promo. Sure her insult was a little stupid, but element doesn't ruin the entire thing.
I thought Naomi's promo was pretty decent. I would like to see a heel not run out of the ring for once. Nikki did it when she was a heel and I found it so hilarious considering her gimmick was "fearless Nikki".
It was a solid Diva's segment if you ask me. Better than anything we've seen lately.

Naomi was the best thing in this segment. Paige tries too hard on the mic to where it looks forced

Paige has everything she needs to be successful, the look, great wrestling skills, she's over, but holy , she can't talk to save her life. Typical Paige promo; This is my house! I want my bloody divas championship! *insult* *drops mic*

paige is amazing to her fans and definitely brings something to the product
her problem is she is still a rookie, yet has no one to learn from on the main roster besides maybe nattie
that being said, she is still very green
paige right now reminds me a lot of randy when he started- not so much looks wise (lol), but more from a performance standpoint
i think she will come a long way before her term is up

I dont think I've ever watched a Paige promo ever, and that sucked ball! So forced, so much trying to be AJ (who just tried to be Punk anyway, so that was a suck), plus I actually hate emo/scene girls so I instantly dislike her. But her attitude and whole aura as a character is just annoying and I honestly dont know what she is (face or a heel??). She doesn't seem to know what she's doing promo-wise and is just resorting to trying to be a AJ Lee rip, who sucked anyway, meh just so bad.

I also found Paige to be sorta heelish especially with that dig at Tamina being a man. Tamina really should have ed Paige up for that one! At least Naomi told her like it was. She was really great; I am just loving her as a heel. I can't wait for Naomi to win the Divas title at Elimination Chamber. All in all it was a good segment for the women because they were given time and it did help build up the triple threat at EC. Now if only next week's Raw and Smackdown would retain this momentum as well as the PPV match that would be great for the division as a whole. There are all of these rumors about HHH/Stephanie wanting to change the way the women (mainly the main roster women) are featured for the better so how about they prove that by giving this Divas Title match the same amount of attention they give the NXT Women's Title matches at NXT PPVs? If they do we are likely going to get a great match otherwise we'll get the same decent, but rarely great, PPV match for the women on the main roster..

She's light years ahead of Naomi, that's all I know.
Naomi is awful.

You only have to watch NXTTakeover and see that these women are, in the long run, doomed.
I don't stand by the assumption that "NXT is the future" or that the NXT Roster will eventually end up on Raw. A select few are already being promoted, but a large majority are best suited exactly where they are for the time being.
With that being said, with all the big wigs in attendance at Takeover it simply cannot be ignored that the women performers in NXT are changing the game. For the first time possibly ever under a WWE umbrella, the women are expected to put on a stellar match and they deliver a show stealer. Even the undercard women's tag match had its fair share of heat, regardless of being an afterthought.
The reality is simple: the women on Raw have had their chances to deliver show stealing efforts on the last few PPVs (excluding the rushed effort at Mania) and they haven't even come close to delivering anything like the NXT divas do.
Stephanie McMahons words on the NXTTakeover preshow spoke volumes, she put over the two upcoming divas matches with far more excitement and enthusiasm than you're ever likely to ever see from 2015 evil-Steph.
And it's not like NXT is the first. TNA Knockouts have proved multiple times over the years that positioning talented women competing in heated feuds can have a positive outcome on PPVs and weekly TV alike.
I'm not gunna discredit the in-ring athletics of the likes of Paige, Naomi, Tamina etc, they simply don't have enough legitimacy in their personality to translate a match with the same intensity and heat as Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch pulled off at NXTTakeover.
It's nothing about "chances", #givesdivasachance, or any of that crap... Becky and Sasha was built slowly, forgotten about constantly, had missed chances to capitalise on their heat earlier in the feud, but the end results were still outstanding.
A main event that they built for months, on both NXT and Raw, with so much heat and a red hot debut, was NEVER going to successfully follow that Women's title match! ...Can you even imagine saying that about ANY pairing of current WWE Divas?! Only if you're in denial!
...and it's lazy, negligent promos like that from Paige which will douse the women's chances of long term success on the main roster. Especially when the NXT divas put 10x more effort in to their character work, only to appear in front of 200 in attendance and on the Network, only once or twice a month.

She needs to calm down with the "this is my house!" line. Way too overused at this point.

She's light years ahead of Naomi, that's all I know. Naomi is awful. Pretty much. I enjoyed her promos during the AJ feud and prior to that when she was allowed to say more than a few words. The boyfriend insult was dumb too. It's like when Cena or Reigns or someone cuts a decent promo, only to have it completely ruined by a stupid, immature jab. Those damn writers.

Watching it now, neither girl was great but Naomi does seem more comfortable as a heel. She's still not very good but it's better than face Naomi. Also, there is a reason why Naomi has been there for a while and hasn't been Divas Champion.

Yeah her promos aren't good, but her in-ring ability more than makes up for it.

Shes not that good on the mic , but her ring ability experience helps to make up for inability on the mic Care to provide an example of said ring ability? Because I'm still trying to find it and she debuted on the main roster 15 months ago. Being born of the Knight family, I did expect a lot more after the first time I saw her in the ring on NXT. Unfortunately, she's never peaked above that since. Turns out the Knights aren't exactly the Harts, but I guess the knowledge of her coming from a wrestling background was enough to mask some of her shortcomings at first. But not anymore, blame Sasha Banks and co.
