Paige fans have responded after the WWE Superstar shared her first social media post since news broke of her reported retirement, with many finding it hard to accept that their favorite wrestler may never step in the ring again.

On Sunday, the former Divas Champion shared a black-and-white photo of herself standing in a ring, arms raised as the audience cheered. She offered no caption, letting the image speak for itself after reports surfaced last week that WWE had said the 25-year-old’s in-ring career was at an end after a neck injury she suffered last month.

Iโm going to miss you so much. Thank you for all of the memories you gave us. Seriously youโre my favorite womenโs wrestler of all time. I respect the hell out of you for coming from England at such a young age and succeeding at the highest level wrestling has to offer. TY PAIGE
