Paige was recently interviewed by Lilian Garcia on the latest episode of her Chasing Glory podcast. During the interview, Paige and Lilian spoke about what recently happened with Liv Morgan and Brie Bella. Liv suffered a concussion after getting accidentally kicked in the face by Brie.
Paige was a bit critical of the way that the Riott Squad (Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan) handled the injury.
Here is what Paige said (h/t to Cageside Seats for the quotes):
“Accidents happen in the ring. I’m not gonna hold Sasha accountable for what happened to me. It is what it is. We’ve been all doing it for years and – at one point another one of us is gonna hurt each other. We can’t be perfect all the time.
Which is the same thing of what I get with Brie – I felt so bad for Brie. She’s never hurt anyone, this is the first time she’s hurt someone and she gets blamed for it? Come on, dude – it’s an accident. It’s an accident. Liv doesn’t blame her.
The thing that I don’t like about it is the fact that her teammates brought her back in the ring to do a suplex when everyone knew she was knocked out. That’s the thing that I don’t like. It’s just like – don’t come back in for the suplex. You know you’re hurt. We have concussion meetings all the time. Take care of yourself. But also, your tag partners – as much as I love them, they’re very sweet girls – they know she got knocked out, you don’t let her back in the ring again. That’s what Sasha did with me. As soon as she knew something was messed up, she was like, ‘I’m not continuing the match’. That’s a professional. She’s like, ‘I can’t do this.’ And I was trying to continue it and I was trying, I was trying, I was trying and she was like, ‘Stop. You’re gonna hurt yourself even more.’ And I get where Liv comes from, she wants to continue-continue, but stop. It’s not worth it. You end up like me.
So with Ruby and Sarah, take care of your teammate. You see that she got hurt. Don’t let her back in the ring again. And referee in there, don’t let her back in the ring again. But apparently the ref didn’t know anything. I’m like, ‘Come on! How do you not know?’ But Brie in that story, and they were trying, they were trying to take care of her, you know? I felt so bad for Brie. I felt bad for both of them, but the backlash that Brie got – if it was anyone else, there wouldn’t have been that much backlash – because she’s a Bella.”
