5 WWE Superstars who returned after having their careers cut short

Paige

Paige is currently not wrestling after suffering from a stinger during a house show that caused her to be unable to stand during the match. This was somewhat of a tragedy, as she had only just returned from a lengthy time out recovering from surgery and looked set to be a big deal in the WWE women's division.

The surgery that Paige received beforehand was to repair her neck and afterwards she revealed that she had been diagnosed with the same issue that had put Edge out of action and almost ended Sheamus' career - Spinal Stenosis

Unfortunately it isn’t that easy. I have 3 screws from the prior surgery and after the accident I had in the ring after I got spinal stenosis. I wish though, I miss it everyday. https://t.co/sYFaxMzt2K

But she was able to overcome this (and two drug violation suspensions) to return to the ring in September 2017 and she was able to compete for two months before the aforementioned house show injury occurred, and the day after WrestleMania she announced her retirement.

However Paige is actively looking to return to the ring and has asked to see the same doctors Daniel Bryan went to in order to get cleared. She also recently said that Edge's return from the same injury 'gives people hope'. With that in mind there's every chance Paige could defeat the odds and return for a second time!
