Paige recently spoke to GiveMeSport about her relationship with Sasha Banks following the incident that caused Paige to retire from in-ring competition. Paige, who has an entire family around this industry, was of course very understanding and even stated that the backlash that Sasha received from audiences was unnecessary and was very upsetting to her:

But, I remember just telling Sasha ‘I can’t wrestle anymore’ and she was devastated, she started crying, crying her eyes out. I was like ‘I’m so sorry’, I think it’s just a British thing to apologise! But I was like ‘I’m sorry, it’s not your fault’ and she’s just been so, so supportive. She always texts me like ‘hey, how are you doing, how things going?’ you know, and she’s just always been really great. She got so much backlash and even in the ring and we were in there, people are chanting ‘Sasha sucks’ and it really upset me to hear that because it wasn’t her fault.
