The story lines might be fake, but as we’ve seen time and time again, the punishment the wrestler’s body takes is very much real. Her fellow wrestlers showed her their appreciation as well.
You’ve done so much for women’s wrestling at such a young age and accomplished so much @RealPaigeWWE . This is heartbreaking. #ThankYouPaige
