Former WWE Divas Champion Paige opens up about leaving WWE after 8 years
Former Divas Champion Paige has recently confirmed that July 7 will be her last day with WWE. She has opened up about her upcoming WWE departure clarifying that it wasn’t her decision to leave the company.
Paige explained that WWE is letting her contract run out on her latest Twitch stream. She mentioned that the company was not using her full potential, and that’s fair. She even praised WWE for supporting her throughout.
“WWE doesn’t want to re-sign me. It’s not my decision. I don’t want anyone to think it was my decision to walk away. “They weren’t using me to my full potential, that’s for sure. It’s fair. Why do they (need to) employ me to not do very much for them. There is opportunities I could have done. I think they just want to focus on people who are wrestling.“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.” (F4WOnline)
Paige reveals that she is open to in-ring return if the money is right
During the announcement, the former champion teased about her return to the ring. She discussed her potential comeback,
“If you don’t re-sign, that normally means you don’t have a no-compete” “I feel like I can compete again, yeah. 1000%”(When asked about possibly joining another wrestling promotion). “Sure, if the money is right”.
Paige is the youngest NXT Women’s Champion and a former Divas Champion. Unfortunately, she suffered a neck injury which took her out of action for a long time.
