Following the news that Paige’s WWE career is likely over as a result of her latest neck injury, the Absolution leader is currently backstage at San Antonio’s AT&T Center, site of tonight’s RAW. It remains to be seen if she’s used on the show.

Paige was injured during WWE’s holiday tour at a live event at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. The injury took place during a tag match when Sasha Banks delivered a stiff double-legged kick to Paige’s upper back. The match ended shortly thereafter when it became clear Paige was in a lot of pain and could not continue.



Sasha Banks’ kick effectively ended Paige’s in-ring career, but PWInsider reports that people behind the scenes see the incident as a freak accident that could have happened to anybody. During a recent appearance on Lilian Garcia’s podcast, Paige said doctors advised her after her 2017 neck surgery that she should not wrestle again. In light of that revelation, it seems that odds were high that she could suffer a career ending injury at some point.

Paige has not said much publicly since news of her situation broke last week, but she did tweet the following on Sunday:
