WWE  Commissioner, Shane McMahon, on Tuesday, April 10, 2018 opened the post-WrestleMania 34 edition of SmackDown to announce that he had accepted Daniel Bryan's resignation from the General Manager job.

He then went ahead and introduced Paige as the new GM.

Shortly afterwards, McMahon reaffirmed on Twitter that he had given Paige the opportunity because Smackdown has been and will always be a land of opportunities…

#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.

Paige's first act as GM was making Bryan vs. WWE Champion AJ Styles for later in the show.

Paige, who just officially announced her retirement from the ring on previous night's RAW, will however continue to be a cast member of Total Divas as well.
