Paige recently addressed the betrayal she suffered at the hands of The Bella Twins at WWE SummerSlam: Minnesota Night One, claiming she saw it coming from a mile away.

As noted, Nikki and Brie Bella turned on Paige, with Nikki delivering a vicious beatdown following their defeat in the six-woman tag team match against Fatal Influence.

Speaking with So Cal Val at Comic Con Wales, Paige said she expected Nikki to turn on her at SummerSlam, noting she had gotten suspicious the moment Nikki side-eyed her following her and Brie’s tag team title victory at WrestleMania 42.

Here’s what she said:

“You just get that vibe from Nikki out the gate there. You know what I mean? After we won the championships at WrestleMania, the hug that she gave me afterwards, and the freaking side eyes she was giving me, I was like, ‘Ah, is it going to be too long until she turns on me?’ And I kind of expected it at SummerSlam, too, especially when I gave Brie a long hug after the SummerSlam match, and I was just like, ‘This feels really sad.’ I mean, everyone expected it. That’s pretty real, right?”
