Paige anunces her departure from WWE

Paige took to her official Twitter account on Saturday to post an emotional statement to inform her fans that July 7th would be her last day with WWE. Her full statement read,

"July 7th will be last day with WWE. I’m so thankful and I appreciate opportunities that company has given me.

I will always be appreciative of company that took in an 18-year-old British pale emo girl that didn’t look like your aver diva, giving me chance of a lifetime and making me feel like a superstar.

I kw after my neck injury took me out of in-ring status, it was pretty hard to keep me around for as long as you did, and for that, I’m thankful too.

Thank you to WWE Universe. You guys are most passionate group of fans I’ve ever seen. Hope you continue to stay on this journey with me.

I think toughest part weirdly eugh is having to let Paige name go! But Saraya is helluva name. Kudos to my mum for that one.

FYI I’m t saying I’ll never be in ring. That day will most certainly come again! Wherever return maybe."

Paige last competed inside WWE ring at a live event on December 27, 2017, where she suffered an injury in a six-woman tag team match. English wrestler would n officially anunce her in-ring retirement on April 18, 2018 episode of SmackDown, citing various injuries as reason for doing so at of just 25.
