There has been a lot of controversy over WWE’s recent decision to prohibit its Superstars from using the platform. One of the main stars affected by this decision is former WWE Divas Champion Paige.

Paige has found herself in a comfortable new career as a Twitch influencer. After her wrestling career was prematurely ended due to injuries, she found solace in the gaming world.

She grew prominent on the platform and was slowly building a cut fanbase. This would explain why she was livid when Vince McMahon took Twitch away from the WWE Superstars.

“There may be a time where I have to stop streaming. I’ll have to walk away. If I have to leave, we have to make today and Saturday f****ng crazy. I’ve honestly gotten to the point where I cannot deal with this company anymore. Now I have to make a very important decision.”

Frustrated with WWE and its restrictions, Paige may consider parting ways with the company. There are a lot of Superstars that also feel the same way but do not want to confront Vince McMahon about it. 

“I’m f****ng tired, man. I broke my fucking neck twice, twice for this company. Over fucking worked. I broke my fucking neck twice for this company,” said Paige. “They don’t realize that this community isn’t about subs. We build a community and family where this is an escape for a lot of people, including myself.”

“I can’t wrestle anymore. I was worked so hard in WWE that I can’t wrestle anymore because my neck is f***ed. My whole dreams got taken away, I had to have something that fulfilled that huge f****ng void that I lost with wrestling.” 

“I couldn’t wrestle anymore, something I lived and breathed since I was a fetus, and it got ripped away from me. I had to find something that I could fill a little bit of that and Twitch was a wonderful thing for me. It’s such a wonderful place for me,” she said.
