Norwich-born Paige has been one of WWE’s most popular female wrestlers of all time, but reports suggest that she may be forced to retire from wrestling due to injury.

The 25-year-old Brit recently returned to the ring after a 512 day lay-off, and seemed to be returning to the top of the women’s division.

However, on December 27th in New York, Paige was kicked in the back by Sasha Banks during a six-women’s match.

The match was stopped soon after the kick, and Paige was able to walk to the back, but it appears the injury may be a potential career ender.

PWInsider reported today that Paige ‘was informed this week that she will not be cleared to return to the ring’ following the injury, with her affliction believed to be similar to the one which forced Edge to retire from WWE in 2011.
