Banks apologized to Paige, while Bray checked on her moments after the incident
Former WWE Divas Champion Paige recently completed 7000 subscribers on Twitch and looked back at her career in her latest video to celebrate the occasion. Paige talked in detail about the injury that she suffered at a house show, back in 2017. During a six-woman Tag Team match, Paige took a kick from Sasha Banks, which hurt her and led to the match being stopped.

Paige revealed that when the medical personnel were checking on her, Bayley was incredibly upset and was tearing up. Paige further stated that Banks was crying as well. She came up to her in the trainer's room and began apologizing for what had just happened, to which Paige replied that it isn't her fault and accidents happen in the ring. Paige then recalled going backstage, where a string of wrestlers, including Bray Wyatt, approached her to check whether she was okay.

Paige's injury was a career-threatening one, and she announced her retirement from pro-wrestling on the RAW after WrestleMania 34. She was appointed as SmackDown GM soon after, a position she held for the entirety of 2018.
But fr fr.. I need to be GM again. I was very good. Just saying.
She has since gone on to manage the newly-formed tag team of Asuka and Kairi Sane, and is currently working on WWE Backstage on FS1 as a panelist.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
