If anyone has bothered to read Paige's interview on WWE.com you will see she has paid her dues in wrestling since 13 years old and she started travelling the world to wrestle at 14 years old none of the other divas can say they have done that. Paige is special and different and thats why WWE are so high on her and she will be staying at the top for a long time
I'm missing the part where people are arguing that she hasn't paid her dues or doesn't have a great future in WWE.
Paige is terrific. She's been given a tremendous opportunity to be Divas Champion at 21 years of age and she's making the most of it with what she's given to work with (I mean that they usually give them no more than 5 minutes for a Divas match on Raw....you gotta pack a lot into that short amount of time).
However, it's kind of disingenuous to say she's great and Alicia (or anybody else on the Divas roster) is trash. Alicia did a tremendous job of looking stronger than Paige last Monday night, just to sell the power of the Paige-Turner and take the loss. Her selling of her disgust with Paige, her arguing that she kicked out before the three-count, really every part of her performance was excellent. That doesn't take anything away from Paige. Paige is playing her role extremely well and I'm fairly certain that, when the feud is over, Paige will still be Divas Champion.
So, basically: cool your jets. Paige is doing great. This could be a decent money feud (for a Divas feud....no fault of Paige or Alicia, but WWE doesn't think Divas draw....of course, they don't do much promoting of the Divas Division anymore......) and I could actually see Alicia winning the belt, only to lose it back to Paige in the blow-off match (which would actually make this feud more compelling and allow the fans to invest more in Paige by getting to see her spend a month chasing the title).
