Normally, the night after WrestleMania is celebrated, but a segment with Paige left us all in shock. Paige announced her in-ring retirement.
She had a four year run on the main roster in WWE, debuting on Monday Night Raw to win the Divas Championship from AJ Lee the night after WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans. Four years later, at WrestleMania 34, in the same City of New Orleans, Paige announced her retirement. You can watch her retirement speech below.
After Paige made her retirement speech serval WWE Superstars commented on Paige’s retirement.
