Paige is bidding the WWE goodbye.
The three-time champion made the announcement via Twitter.
“July 7th will be the last day with WWE. I’m so thankful and I appreciate the opportunities the WWE gave me,” Paige wrote.
Paige also expressed her gratitude for the organization continuing to support her.
“I know after my neck injury taking me out of in ring status it was pretty hard to keep me around as long as you did and for that I am thankful too,” she wrote.
She also explained she will giving up the ‘Paige’ name and returning to her real name, Saraya.
“I am not saying I will never be in the ring. That day will most certainly come again! Wherever the return maybe,” she concluded.
Paige joined the WWE at 19 years-old after wrestling in England, across Europe and in Japan for Shimmer. In the WWE, Paige would win the NXT Women’s Championship once and the WWE Divas Championship twice. She lost the belt back to AJ Lee twice.
Paige, who had already suffered from neck injuries and problems in the past, was hurt again in a match with Sasha Banks in 2o17. She retired from in-ring competition since then making sporadic appearances in the WWE on commentary, as the General Manager of Smackdown, managing the Kabuki Warriors and as a coach on the WWE reality show Tough Enough.
