4 BIGGEST Wrestling Podcast Reveals THIS WEEK! (Feb. 2, 2018)

2. Paige’s WWE retirement seemingly confirmed (Chasing Glory With Lilian Garcia)

After returning from over a year out with a neck injury, Paige suffered a stinger at a Raw house show in December. Given her history of neck problems, WWE doctors reportedly wouldn’t clear her to return to the ring after assessing the most recent injury. PWInsider revealed Paige was now done as an in-ring performer in WWE, and she was soon pulled from the first ever Women’s Royal Rumble.

WWE have yet to confirm the news, though, and it was rumored Paige was still hopeful for an in-ring return, tweeting:

But Lilian Garcia and Trish Stratus have seemingly confirmed Paige’s retirement on the former’s Chasing Glory podcast.

While talking about injuries to female wrestlers, Garcia mentions “like just now what we found out with Paige… her attitude is so great, and she’s just been like, ‘you know what, they’re still going to use me, I’m still going to be doing other things.’” Garcia also said she embraced Paige when she saw her at Raw 25 because of the news.
