Paige's in-ring career came to an incredibly unfortunate end far sooner than it should have due to her neck injury. However, by that time, she had already established a huge legacy for herself as one of the greatest female wrestlers in WWE history, having made a significant impact on how WWE booked women's wrestling.
But, because her in-ring career came to an end so abruptly and randomly, there was no massively planned storyline or big blow-off PPV match. So instead, her last 10 matches in a WWE ring are just a great example of her consistent work ethic. But which of the 10 are the strongest?
10 Paige Vs Charlotte Flair (Raw: June 13, 2016)
Paige and Charlotte Flair always had great chemistry in the ring together, but this match didn't even last three minutes. It was all about building an upcoming tag team match that didn't even feature Paige, with Becky Lynch and Natalya at ringside.
Dana Brooke was Flair's ally at that time and she ended up putting Flair into the ring to avoid the ladies, which led to Paige scoring a simple victory. It served its purpose for storylines, but there wasn't much to talk about in terms of match quality.
9 Absolution Vs Sasha Banks, Mickie James, & Bayley (Raw: December 18, 2017)
This was the big final feud that Paige had before she was forced to retire, but this six-woman tag team match was sadly nothing to write home about. This match was all about building Absolution and showcasing that they were a threat.
The match only lasted a few minutes before Absolution caused a disqualification by just turning this into a fight. It served its purpose as far as developing the group, but it wasn't exactly a great match.
8 Absolution Vs Sasha Banks, Mickie James, & Bayley (Tribute To The Troops 2017)
The Tribute To The Troops shows are incredibly important and they are always very much feel-good programs that are all about making those in attendance as happy as possible. Because of that, the match was fairly basic and felt more like a house show than anything else.
While it was certainly entertaining, it wasn't a massively competitive lengthy build like a match on Raw or a major PPV might be given.
7 Paige Vs Summer Rae (Main Event: May 25, 2016)
While this match certainly lacked in audience reactions and had some truly awful commentary that was often not focused on the match, the actual wrestling was fairly impressive.
Summer Rae didn't often get the chance to work on Raw and SmackDown, but that's why shows like Main Event were great. The match showcased some really stiff strikes from both women which really made for an interesting and enjoyable match.
6 Paige Vs Summer Rae (Superstars: June 3, 2016)
Summer Rae and Paige competed again on Superstars not long after their Main Event match, and clearly they benefited from that experience as this was much better. In terms of in-ring quality, it was very similar with both women looking impressive.
Each of them got time to shine and dominate, with Summer Rae showing some great submission work. But this was a better match as it really brought the fans in, whether it was by being silly and having some dancing or by utilizing catchphrases, it was more engaging, which is always a good thing.
5 Paige & Sasha Banks Vs Charlotte Flair & Dana Brooke (Raw: June 27, 2016)
This was an interesting tag team match that had a lot of fun points, mainly because the match had several inner feuds playing into each other. That added a lot of different dynamics to the match, with Paige and Sasha Banks certainly being on the same page here.
Paige was feuding with Flair and Dana. Meanwhile, Sasha Banks returned the week prior and was pushing for a title shot, which added a nice little level of respect and competition as Paige and her chased the same goals. Meanwhile, the tension was beginning between Flair and Dana, with The Queen starting to question their partnership
Paige was targeted on her own for large periods of this match, eventually fighting out to make the hot tag to Sasha Banks, which led to the pace of the match really picking up, making for a lot of fun.
4 Mandy Rose & Paige Vs Bayley & Mickie James (Raw: December 11, 2017)
This was another fairly standard tag team match that didn't ever quite kick on to the top gear that they were all capable of. Paige looked great in this match, bringing her physical approach to the ring.
With two really strong opponents, the match was always going to be entertaining and that was certainly the case. However, it just lacked an extra five minutes to really become a classic and memorable tag team bout.
3 Absolution Vs Sasha Banks, Mickie James, & Bayley (Raw: December 25, 2017)
A Christmas Day edition of Monday Night Raw was always going to make for a special show and this six-woman tag team match certainly added to that. Unlike their previous Raw match, they got plenty of time here and that allowed them to tell a great story.
Sadly, this was Paige's last ever match on television, but she certainly went out with a bang. Both teams had a really competitive clash that made for compelling viewing.
2 Paige Vs Charlotte Flair (Raw: June 20, 2016)
This was a really exciting match between two very talented wrestlers on Raw for the Women's Championship. Straight from the first bell, this contest was ultra-aggressive with Paige throwing some huge kicks around.
The finish was slightly botched as Dana Brooke clearly had to hold Charlotte's foot on the ropes to lead to the finish, but that didn't stop this match from being overall really enjoyable.
1 Paige Vs Sasha Banks (Raw: December 4, 2017)
This was an absolutely excellent match that got nearly 20 minutes of time. Considering this was Paige's first match back in a year, she certainly did not miss a beat, going back-and-forth with Sasha Banks in an incredibly competitive match.
Both teams took a beating here, with Absolution causing issues with Mickie James and Bayley on the outside to add to the excitement. It was a fantastic match with some really high spots with Paige looking great, making her retirement an even bigger shame.
