#5 Paige's status with WWE
Paige is a pioneer in the WWE women's division. Unfortunately, she had to retire prematurely due to injury issues. Despite that, she is still under a WWE contract but hasn't been used as an on-screen character.
With multiple WWE releases taking place this year, many fans fear that Paige could soon be let go by the company seeing as they don't have anything for her to do. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has said that Paige will not be released by WWE as they see value in her.
"Maybe they feel that there is value in her as far as appearances and things like that. That her name is strong enough and stuff that, it's worth it to keep her employed and worth it for the company. Also, because of the injury and the career-ending nature of it, you know there may be some feelings regarding that as well," said Dave Meltzer.
Paige retired from in-ring action in 2018 but was kept as an on-screen character until the end of 2019.
