In case you didn’t know…

Back in December 2017, during a tag team match at a live event, Paige was struck in the back via a Sasha Banks front kick and the former fell to the ground immediately. The referee showed the dreaded “X” sign and Paige was unable to finish the match.

Later on, it was revealed that the injury was serious enough to end Paige’s career prematurely.

The heart of the matter

During the podcast with Garcia, Stratus said the injury was unfortunate but added that it is a part of the wrestling industry.

What’s next?

Since recovering from injury, Paige has worked with the WWE in a non-wrestling role, as a manager for Absolution.

WWE may continue to keep the star employed in such a role or even at the WWE Performance Center, given her love for professional wrestling.

Author’s take

It is admirable that Paige has taken the injury in stride and not let it pull her down. She has, and should continue working in the industry in whatever capacity possible.
