However, almost as soon as she'd returned she was sidelined after a rogue kick to the back from Sasha Banks left her picking up another injury. As you can see in the below video, Paige hits the floor and then struggles to get back up.

Paige then didn't return to in-ring action following this incident, instead accompanying the other 'Absolution' members as a sort-of stable manager, but it wasn't until several months later that her injury was revealed to be career-ending.
