As noted, SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon announced on tonight’s show that Paige is the new General Manager after Daniel Bryan submitted his resignation to work full-time as an in-ring competitor. Paige officially announced her retirement from in-ring action on Monday’s RAW. Shane and Paige had the following Twitter exchange after their announcement in the opening segment:
#SDLive has been and always will be the land of opportunities and second chances. It was my PRIVILEGE to name @RealPaigeWWE as the new General Manager.
This is her house now. pic.twitter.com/3xXGMDEEIV— Shane McMahon (@shanemcmahon) April 11, 2018
