When it comes to young retirements, there was none more surprising or upsetting than that of former Divas Champion, Paige, whose career was sadly cut short due to a serious neck injury that stopped her from wrestling.

Paige was a child prodigy who burst onto the scene from the UK, taking the wrestling world by storm and became one of the most popular female wrestlers in WWE history. It was because Paige was so young that the retirement upset so many, as the Anti-Diva had much more to offer.

Paige had also just come back from a tough time in her life personally after private videos were leaked and it seemed like things were just turning around for her when the heartbreak hit.

After being forced to leave the ring, Paige would quickly find a role for herself as the General Manager of SmackDown Live, performing well under the role until late 2018.

After being relieved of her position, Paige has remained a constant presence on WWE programming as the manager of the Kabuki Warriors: Kairi Sane and Asuka.
