Paige won the Divas Champion on her first night on the main roster. She suffered a career-ending injury at a WWE house show in late 2017, and announced her retirement months later. Shortly after, she opened up about what happened after WWE decided against renewing her deal. According to Paige, Vince had a chat with her and said that he’s keeping the door open for a possible WWE return.
“If you don’t renew the contract then, I don’t think there’s any non-compete clause. That’s not what I was told on the phone. We’re having a normal conversation and it’s like, ‘So, we’re not gonna renew your contract.’ I texted Vince McMahon, he texted back. Everyone was respectful about it. It’s a bummer. They are keeping the door open, both Vince and Johnny [John Laurinaitis] said they’ll keep the door open, but that’s usually what companies say.”
She departed from WWE after her contract expired on July 7, 2022.
