* AwesomeYetImpractical: Her submission finisher, the Scorpion Cross Lock. It looks awesome & when she locks it in, her opponent is going to have a hard time getting out of it. It edges into impracticality because it's a difficult move to lock in, leaving Paige open to attack whilst she tries to set the move up.

* ButNotTooWhite: Defied. To the point that ''Sheamus'' looks tan in comparison. Lampshaded by commentary on 4.14.14 RAW when they note that she and Sheamus probably go to the same tanning salon.

!! Tropes associated with Paige include:

* ButNotTooWhite: Defied. And how!
* CharacterisationMarchesOn: Was initially going to be a badass hacker a la [[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy Lisbeth Solander]] but she then switched to the "Anti-Diva Army" with Sofia Cortez.
* CuteBruiser
* '''DarkActionGirl'''
* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite a look that wouldn't have been too out of place as part of the Ascension (or the Attitude Era's Ministry of Darkness, for that matter), Paige has stayed a Face her entire time in NXT.
** DarkIsEvil: In FCW before NXT and PopularityPower kicked in. Despite this, the closest she got to being a member of Ascension was hanging out with Raquel Diaz after the latter had just quietly left them and Rick Victor over a year before he would join.
* DyeHard: See RavenHairIvorySkin. She is actually a natural blonde.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Videos from live events when she first signed with the company show her with a tan, performing as "Saraya" and playing the clownish heel she normally played in ''Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}}'' as opposed to her {{Badass}} persona now.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Plays this trope to a T.
** RavenHairIvorySkin
** Her {{Red Baron}}s, "The Enchanting/Mysterious Raven-Haired Lady" and "Miss Hell in Boots", are based off these two tropes.
* EvilBrit: Subverted in her NXT face run. She's still just as violent, dark and out to destroy "Barbies" on her way to the top as she was in FCW, she just has a charming smile for the fans now and mostly targets heels.
* FaceHeelRevolvingDoor: Will often play the heel if she's in a face vs face match.
* HelloNurse: In the documentary about her family, her mother says that putting her daughter's face on merchandise always sells and that people always flock to see her. She's also described as being signed by WWE instantly and a huge number of fans find her attractive.
* PerkyGoth: Well…somewhat, anyway, as a face.
* PlayingAgainstType: Is actually a GirlyGirl in real life.
* ScreamingWarrior
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Faced her FCW teammate Sofia Cortez on her first NXT match.
* WrestlingFamily: Her entire family wrestle as the Knights. Speaking of which…
** YouLookFamiliar: Britani Knight's dark side is well established now!
