Paige's in-ring career finished

PWInsider reports that Paige was notified by WWE on Monday at the RAW taping that she will not be cleared to return to wrestling after her latest injury. The belief now is that she is finished as an in-ring wrestler. The situation is being compared to that of Edge, who was also medically disqualified from wrestling for WWE. Paige, who is only 25, was hoping to have 2018 be her comeback year after missing seventeen months following a neck injury suffered in June of 2016 that led to neck surgery and then another injury suffered late last year.

Paige’s latest injury was suffered on 12/28/17 at a show in Uniondale, Long Island where she had to stop in the middle of a match where she was teaming with Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville against Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Mickie James after taking a bump to her back. The match was stopped and a stretcher was brought out, though she eventually was able to walk out on her own power. The belief at the time was that she had suffered a stinger, but further testing led to WWE’s decision to not clear her for return as an in-ring performer.

Paige was scheduled to be part of the Women’s Royal Rumble match on 1/28 but she will no longer be part of the match and will now work for WWE in a non-wrestling capacity similar to Daniel Bryan’s current role. WWE management likes her and is likely to continue to involve her somehow. She has had a role on Total Divas in the past as well. WWE could also possibly involve her in future film projects or have her become a coach. She’ll most certainly be involved in the promotion of WWE Studios’ upcoming Fighting With My Family film which The Rock is producing, since that film is based on a British documentary about Paige’s family. One of the characters in the film is based on Paige. Paige has also been branding herself as “Saraya” with the help of former WWE star Rosa Mendes.

Paige has had a chaotic few years in WWE marked by neck surgery, WWE Wellness Policy suspensions, leaked sex tapes, and a wild relationship with Alberto El Patron that included an incident at the Orlando International Airport where local authorities determined that there was enough evidence to prosecute her for domestic violence battery (though the District Attorney’s office ended up not moving forward with that). She returned to the ring in late 2017 as part of the Absolution group with Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville before being injured again.

Paige has been in the wrestling business since age 13 and was a breakout star for WWE in NXT, contributing heavily to the in-ability focus of the current WWE women’s division. She remains the only wrestler to hold both the NXT Women’s Title and WWE Women’s Title at the same time. She’s also the youngest WWE Women’s Champion ever (she won the title at age 21).
How terribly sad. I imagine Paige will still probably appear alongside Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville in a managerial role, but the fact that we likely won't ever see her wrestle again is such a bummer.

It's a young age for a career to end, at least she has plenty of options working with WWE though. Are WWE more strict with these sorts of injuries than say other indy promotions? It's just this line, "medically disqualified from wrestling for WWE" that had me wondering. I'm sure if WWE isn't clearing you though it's probably wise to heed their advice.

I'm pretty sure Jerry Lawler isn't cleared to wrestling in the WWE because of his heart attack yet still wrestles independently. That's the only example I can think of right off hand. But, he has a unique contract with the WWE so I'm not sure how full time active wrestlers could fair trying that.

Yeah, I assume it would be more difficult for them to swing a deal like that. Do we know if Lawler is one of those 'legends' contracts, it would be interesting to know whether all the guys on those contracts can appear on indy shows or only some of them... I may go do some digging on google...

From what I understand, Lawler always had a unique contract. He started out being sign to announce but it also allowed him to wrestle as much or as little as he wanted to in and out of the WWE. Now, I'm assuming that he isn't cleared medically by WWE so he only wrestles outside the WWE and they aren't responsible for anything that happens to him when doing so.

BURN IT DOOOWWNNNNNNNN!
She's not taking the news well if the rumors are to be believed.

Hopefully she'll come to peace with retirement if she truly can't wrestle anymore.
