2018 has seen many wrestlers walk away from the ring

#3 Paige

Paige retired from in-ring competition the night after WrestleMania

Paige was the first ever NXT Women's Champion and ushered in a new era in the Women's Division, which saw her promoted to the main roster in the spring of 2014, where she went on to become the youngest ever Divas Champion on her first night on Raw.

Paige was seen as one of the biggest stars in the Women's Division before she was tied up in personal issues throughout 2016 and 2017. When Paige made her return to the ring in late 2017, she didn't miss a beat and was able to help Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville find their feet on Raw.

It was merely months later that Paige was forced to miss the first ever Women's Royal Rumble match and a few months later she delivered an emotional speech to state that she had been forced to retire from active competition in WWE because of a recurring neck injury.

Paige has since made waves as the General Manager of SmackDown Live, a role that she was recently relieved of.
