WWE RAW after WrestleMania: Paige announces retirement from wrestling

Unfortunately for fans, Paige's future won't be competing in the wrestling ring, as she officially told everyone she could no longer participate as an in-ring performer.

The former WWE NXT and Diva's champion returned to the ring at the end of 2017 but had been out of action since December after suffering an injury during a house show.

She took to the ring on Monday Night Raw this week to deliver the bad news that she has been forced to retire from the business which she described as "her heart, her soul and her blood'". Although she had some problems outside of the ring, there is no doubt that she was a huge reason for the success of the Women's Division in WWE.

Paige had an extremely brief yet successful run with the WWE, but she knows it's important to put safety and long-term health before a career.

Looking visibly emotional as she addressed fans, Paige said: "I would like to thank every single female superstar back there today".

"I am proud to be part of this division".

Opening up on the Chasing Glory With Lilian Garcia, Paige said: "When they came out I barricaded myself in the house for a couple of months".

She added: "As much as it hurts me to say this, now I'm going to have to go and find something else".

Naked pictures and videos of the 25-year-old engaging in sex acts also leaked online during her time off and created tension within the company.

During her speech, Paige spoke about this being her dream and that it was tough to say this.
