She probably wasn't happy with WWE because she wants to be cleared to wrestle and WWE was never going to clear her neck. After WWE cleared Edge and Bryan, her neck has to be f***ed up if they refused to bring her back. Well that depends, her neck may be worse then theirs..or they don't think risk reward was worth it. Edge and Bryan obviously have more money in them... Also they refused to clear Edge...then he got an AEW offer to come back, told WWE if they wouldn't clear him he'd make his return there and magically he got cleared..Bryan got cleared after basically saying he'd leave when his contract was up... So it's shades of gray stuff. Can’t speak much on Edge, although I wanna say there were some stem cell treatments that were game changers but I don’t know much about his return, but Danielson was cleared by numerous top specialists around the US for a considerable amount of time before WWE cleared him so I genuinely believe he’s safe to be back in the ring.

Crazy how much she did for women's wrestling in such a short time, now she's leaving just as the division starts to regress.
For once fair play to WWE for keeping her around so long. Shame her GM role was cut short prematurely and she never got another chance, she was one of the few good authority figures.

Sort of feel like the speculation behind what she’ll do when she leaves is an inch bit tasteless and jumping to someone conclusions we have no real evidence for but then I don’t know her so it could be true so *shrug*

As rare as it is these days we have to give WWE credit to where credit is due. They could have released her several times since her injury, I know it because she was injury they "couldn't" but when the Del Rio Stuff happened could been used as an excuse or in pass WWE could find reasons. However the WWE still allowed her to stay under contract even after shows where cancelled and roles ended, spending the last few years without any kind of role. Still allowed to do twitch. Now I can't say what she does from here. We will see, but I figured her contract was running out and WWE wasn't giving her a new one because of her situation. I could list a lot of thing she could do but nobody knows and my list would been based of the general trend as of late with recently let go or women who have left.

Yeah, it’s rare for me to do that but like you said, they could have easily released her several times and they likely didn’t because she has things she could do (why they took her off the GM role, I’ll never know) and that it’d be awful PR wise to fire someone who was injured in your ring (but then good PR and WWE go as well as milk and caster oil does). Like, it does look like a situation where her contract was expiring, both sides can’t come to an arrangement and Paige is letting it expire. I could easily see her doing commentary work in England if she moves back or something along those lines but she’s never come off as being desperate to be back in the ring besides, like, two tweets that could mean anything.

Yeah, they kept her under contract much longer than they would have other people in her position. The ADR stuff could have really been their breaking point and I wouldn't have blamed them with them both getting popped for drugs twice, her basically outright saying fire me and going to shows with him and then just the all around nastiness of their relationship I do give them credit for how much they have tried to protect her because this could been bad a long time ago and she seems to be in healthy place now. Hopefully, whatever she does fulfills her and keeps everything good

Even though she did a lot in a short time it's too bad injuries and immaturity derailed her as she's someone who should've been one of the perennial top girls in women's division along with the 4HW over the last several years. Other then Becky I thought she was the best all around talent they had in the division factoring everything in (in ring, promo, look, charisma).
I liked her as SD GM and thought that was a good use of her. Having a face GM was also very refreshing. Thought they removed her from that role way too soon but of course the McMahon's have to force themselves into everything. Making her a manager for the Kabuki Warriors was pointless since she couldn't bump so she couldn't really do anything. Someone higher up must have had a soft spot for her to keep her under contract and on the payroll to do nothing but sit at home the last three years.

So her last two appearances were being betrayed by Asuka, and randomly acting as GM for a week via Skype just to piss Bayley off.

This sounds like they've kept her the length of her contract with extensions until they couldn't keep her anymore, and that she's either opted not to renew or the company decided it was pointless to keep her.
So, in all likelihood, she has no chance of being cleared to wrestle by anyone looking to keep their license - not stateside, anyway. Whether another promotion wants to take that risk is anyone's guess, but they wouldn't be able to afford the potential costs if something did happen to her in the ring. She might head back to the UK and work the indies there. At least the NHS might be able to handle any injuries she might suffer.

I imagine if she is able to wrestle again her first match back will probably be for her parents’ promotion. There’s no doubt that would draw a big crowd for them and they could have her in there with other members of the family.

That's literally what was said about Bryan and Edge over the years. Bryan was magically cleared when NJPW made him an offer. Because WWE didn't want to lose him. Edge was magically cleared when AEW made him an offer. Because WWE didn't want to lose him. Clearly, WWE doesn't see Paige as a big loss to them. But knew other companies wanted her, so they stretched out her contract as long as they legally could so no one else could have her. Paige will wrestle again. She still has that itch.

There’s fancam footage of Paige’s last match on YouTube. It’s a very simple bump that does it. It then devolves into an incredibly disturbing watch of just watching this poor woman struggle to stand up with a terrified expression on her face.
And we’ve got posters booking her AEW debut already. I’m going to take another break from here.

At 29 who knows what will happen to both her body and the science available in years to come? For now commentary might be a good place for her, her twitch success might lend itself well to calling matches and both AEW and Impact would be very interested in a female household name (to wrestling fans) doing play by play.

I am absolutely purely speculating, but given not being able to wrestle any more seems to have ruined her life and there are tons of indies who will book her without being cleared

Like, hey, quote this post and laugh if Paige gets a booking in Crockpot Smalltime UK Indie #8967390679295 but it feels like we're just saying it just to say it?
