In an update to her announcement, Paige spoke during a Twitch stream over the weekend and confirmed her in ring status following the parting of the ways from WWE. 

When asked a question about her health the ‘Anti-Diva’ said she was the healthiest she’d ever been, and despite not being cleared to wrestled, she believes she’d be back in the ring. 

I feel like I can compete again, yeah. 1000%.

The Norwich native also reiterated her appreciation for everything WWE has done for her, with a hint of regret that a role wasn’t found for her following her surgery and retirement. 

I’m appreciative of WWE. I really am. They helped me so much they got me a therapist when I had drinking and alcohol issues. They kept me a long time even after my neck surgery, sitting on my ass. I felt like I had so much left to give there as someone who can cut a decent promo and do a managerial role. It is what it is.

Paige signed with WWE in 2012 and went on to be the first-ever NXT Women’s champion. She would later move to the main roster and made one of the most impactful debuts in the company’s history. Making her first appearance the night
