We have not confirmed the report but apparently there was some sort of argument with Alberto Del Rio, who we now know was taken to a local hospital to get his knee examined after reportedly suffering an injury in the MITB Ladder Match.
It’s very possible the entire thing was filmed for Total Divas, from the injury to the “arrest” of Paige. As you can see in the photos below, it looks like she’s being led into an ambulance:

Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed that Paige was taken to the hospital Sunday night after WWE Money In the Bank… and the reason she was pictured in handcuffs is because the wrestler was detained by police shortly beforehand.
The Las Vegas Metro Police Department tells us officers were outside of Caesars Palace for an unrelated incident when they were flagged down over a female seen running into the streets.
After authorities caught up with the woman she was quickly detained, and officers determined that she needed to be taken to the hospital for undisclosed reasons.
Sources tell us the woman was Paige, and the photos on Twitter were indeed of the incident, but law enforcement officials say they’re unable to verify the woman’s name due to HIPAA laws.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us no charges were filed against Paige and WWE is currently investigating the matter to see if any disciplinary action will be necessary.
In the meantime, Paige wrestled Charlotte on RAW last night for the Women’s Championship.
Below are pictures from Sunday night:

F4WOnline noted, with the brand split coming up next month, WWE has apparently been contacting former stars about returning to the company. Dave Meltzer recently stated on Twitter last night that the company has ironically been “calling lots of 40+ year old guys to return for the new era.”
Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio last night that Carlito, MVP and Stevie Richards have all been contacted about returning. He didn’t want to mention any other names, but did say that “everyone that’s available is getting at least inquiries.”
One wrestler that was contacted said that they are making more money now working indys than they did working for WWE full time.
