So I watched NXT Homecoming again, and I noticed something from Charlotte Flair's promo: she mentioned Paige by name when talking about NXT Women of the past and Alexa Bliss mentioned Shayna by name. Now we saw Shayna appear in a backstage segment, but allowing Charlotte to mention Paige by name was interesting.
Unless something has changed under Triple H that has not been revealed, not mentioning someone who wasn't a part of the company anymore was normal. We know that for a decade, the crowd shouted CM Punk's name and they still do that, but only when they know he'll be there (I remember right after his return that the crowd shouted Punk's name and Michael Cole said "he'll be here later!").
Also in the weeks leading up to her return, AJ Lee was referenced by Big E and mentioned directly by Jackie Redmond at the Clash in Paris Post show. When the crowd chanted her name, Becky said that she wasn't here anymore. And minutes before her return Punk told the crowd that the can chant the name "AJ Lee."
The fact that Charlotte mentioned Paige by name in her promo was interesting. Now it might be a one time mention, but if her name starts to get mentioned more in the weeks ahead, something is up.
