Paige is considered to be one of the most talented and popular female athletes to have ever stepped her foot inside the squared circle. If it wasn’t for an injury then she would have certainly entertained the audience for many more years to follow. But then again, the world of pro wrestling is unpredictable as injuries could happen at any time, causing premature retirement.
That has been the case for Paige who was forced to retire at an age of just 25 but her in-ring skills were more than enough to impress the audience and the wrestling pundits. The fact that she found success at such a young age and that too, coming to the United States from Great Britain, is such an inspirational story.
