Time to say goodbye. Paige is leaving the WWE after more than a decade with the wrestling brand.“July 7th will be the last day with WWE,” the Total Divas alum, 29, shared via Twitter on Friday, June 10. “I’m so thankful and I appreciate the opportunities that the company has given me.”She continued, “I will always be appreciative of the company that took in an 18-year-old British pale emo girl that didn’t look like your average diva, giving me the chance of a lifetime and making me feel like a superstar.”Known for her dark hair and skin, the star (real name Saraya-Jade Bevis) took her stage name from Rose McGowan‘s Charmed character.

She made her ring debut at age 13 in her native England and signed with WWE in 2011. The Kabuki Warriors manager competed with Florida Championship Wrestling and NXT before hitting the WWE stage for the first time in 2014.Her debut match was the Divas Championship, and she became the youngest winner in history at age 21.

However, neck injuries shortened her career. She first went on hiatus and received surgery in 2016. She returned to the ring the following year, but after injuring her already-weakened neck in a December 2017 match with Sasha Banks, her in-ring career was over.

Paige officially retired in April 2018 and transitioned to being General Manager of SmackDown. She has worked in various onscreen roles outside the ring ever since and her life story inspired the movie Fighting With My Family, where she was portrayed by Florence Pugh.“I know after my neck injury took me out of in-ring status, it was pretty hard to keep me around for as long as you did, and for that, I’m thankful too,” the Twitch gamer wrote in her goodbye note on Friday. “Thank you to the WWE Universe.
