Paige couldn’t believe WWE allowed her to retire on RAW.
Paige is leaving the WWE on July 7th and has been out of action from in ring competition since she retired from the ring. On April 9th, 2018 Paige announced she would be retiring from the ring due to the damage to her neck. It was an emotional affair, but Paige got the opportunity to say goodbye to the WWE universe.
In a letter of thanks to the WWE in The Players Tribune prior to leaving the company, Paige detailed how much she will cherish getting that chance like many before her.
They even gave me a full segment on Raw to announce my in-ring retirement. I’ll cherish that for the rest of my life. Not just getting to make the announcement like I did, but also the respect it showed on WWE’s part, that they viewed me as worthy of that kind of treatment — the kind normally reserved for an Edge, or a Daniel Bryan, or an HBK, or a Hunter.
That they viewed me as someone who’d built a legacy of her own.

Paige clearly feels like she didn’t belong with those names in getting to say goodbye to the WWE universe but Paige still got that opportunity, and she is incredibly grateful.
