The former Divas Champion said she is hoping to return "soon," although it will ultimately a decision made by WWE's medical staff.
"Hopefully within the next couple of months, fingers crossed," Paige said. "Now I have to get cleared by WWE doctors."
Earlier this month, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported that Paige was slated to return "as soon as she is medically cleared," despite numerous incidents that have put her career in jeopardy.
Paige hasn't appeared on WWE programming since June 2016, prior to undergoing neck surgery in October.
She served two suspensions for violating WWE's wellness policy within two months in early 2016, but clarified both incidents were due to medication with prescriptions and doctor's notes.
Paige was the first-ever NXT women's champion and became the WWE Divas Champion twice during her time in WWE, which included winning the title on her main roster debut in 2014.
