It has been almost two years since the former WWE Divas Champion Paige announced her in-ring retirement. But, recently she jokingly teased about her Royal Rumble return and claimed that she would enter the Men’s Royal Rumble match on the second spot. Thrashing Brock Lesnar, Paige said that she would send the WWE Champion to Suplex City and later go on to win the match. Since her retirement after WrestleMania 34, fans have been asking Paige to fight in the WWE ring and after this tweet went viral, they asked her the same question.

Their rivalry was so known that they were hailed as the next Trish Stratus and Lita of WWE by fans. After Lee left the company in 2015, Paige had feuds with other wrestlers like Nikki Bella and Natalya. In 2016, Paige suffered a neck injury and it took her almost a year to make a comeback. In December 2017, Paige suffered another injury from which she recovered quickly and was able to fight in WrestleMania 34. On the post-WrestleMania episode of WWE RAW, Paige officially retired from in-ring competition due to injury.
