Paige Returning To WWE RAW Soon

Source: WrestlingINC

After weeks of speculation on her WWE status, PWInsider reports that Paige will be returning to the road for the company next week.

There has been communication between Paige and WWE officials over the past few days and she is now booked for next week’s RAW in Memphis and that week’s RAW live events.

Paige’s 30-day suspension for violating the WWE Wellness Policy ends on September 17th. She’s also been dealing with injuries over the past few months.

We recently reported that Paige had retained legal representation as there were reports of her trying to leave the company. It will be interesting to see what happens now that her boyfriend Alberto Del Rio has left the company. The two have filmed material to be included on Total Divas.

It’s Official – WWE Releases Alberto Del Rio

WWE announced the following:

STAMFORD, Conn. — WWE and Jose Rodriguez (Alberto Del Rio) have mutually agreed upon the terms of his release as of today, September 9, 2016.

 

Del Rio returned to the company less than a year ago, but his run had been lackluster to say the least. His final match was against John Cena.

Del Rio was suspended last month for 30 days along side his girlfriend Paige for violation of the WWE Wellness Policy. Paige is rumored to be possibly on her way out of WWE as well.

Paige’s WWE future is said to be up in the air right now, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. While also dealing with injuries, she is still serving a 30-day suspension for her first violation of the WWE Wellness Policy and is under contract until 2019 but there has been a lot of heat over her relationship with Alberto Del Rio, and other issues, leading to speculation on her not coming back.

We noted last week via MLW Radio’s “MSL & Sullivan” podcast that WWE’s Mark Carrano approached Paige and Del Rio individually and harassed them about the relationship. It was indicated that the office wanted them to end the relationship, which is why they were split up in the WWE Draft. It was also reported that the company threatened to fire Paige if she didn’t break up with Del Rio.

The Observer reports that WWE is denying the story – the harassment to Del Rio and Paige, and the threat to fire her. Apparently there is also a claim going around that Del Rio called Carrano on the subject but Carrano just went silent during the conversation.

For what it’s worth, Paige has now reportedly retained legal representation and there’s speculation on if she will stay with WWE or leave.

On a related note, it’s believed that WWE will be announcing Del Rio’s departure any time now.

Paige’s Future With WWE Is Not Looking Good

On yesterday morning’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed the situation with Paige and the report from last week about Paige allegedly being threatened by WWE’s Mark Carano to break off her relationship with Alberto Del Rio or risk being fired.

I noted last week that the story from MSL on his podcast was likely something that was not made up out of thin air and the crew at MLW Radio are friendly with Alberto Del Rio. It doesn’t make the Mark Carrano story true or untrue and it may just be Paige’s side of the story. There’s no way to know if Carrano hinted something to Paige or if he outright said that she would be fired if she didn’t break up with Del Rio but it’s very unusual for the company to step in on someone’s relationship considering that there have been dozens (maybe hundreds) of wrestlers relationships in the past. If Carrano really said something to her directly then that could be a legal issue for WWE.

Meltzer noted that things are looking really negative right now about Paige returning after her suspension and the fact that the story is out probably means that she is done with the company. Paige and WWE would have to work out terms of her release.

WWE Reportedly Threatened To Fire Paige Because Of Her Relationship With Alberto Del Rio

Alberto Del Rio made headlines a few weeks ago after he was suspended for 30 days for violating the WWE Wellness Policy. Del Rio made headlines once again this week, because according to reports, he will not be returning to WWE once his suspension ends.

On this week’s episode of MSL & Sullivan on the MLW Network, Mister Saint Laurent noted that Alberto Del Rio is free to work outside of the U.S. as of September 1st, and will be free to work wherever he wants on October 1st.

MSL also spoke about Alberto Del Rio’s relationship with Paige claiming that not only did the office disapprove of the relationship, but that they actually threatened to fire Paige.

“I do know that Mark Carrano, who fans might know from Total Divas as kind of like the the office liaison guy, approached Del Rio and Paige individually, and harassed each of them about their relationship. It was indicated that the office wanted them to sever their romantic relationship. A lot of people speculated, if this is why WWE split them up in the draft, and that is definitely what happened. The company did not want them together, they split them up in the draft by design, and they threatened to fire Paige if she didn’t break up with Del Rio.”

Paige is currently out of action serving out the remainder of her 30 day suspension. Alberto Del Rio and Paige were both suspended for 30 days on August 17th for violating the WWE Wellness Policy.

WWE Suspends Paige 

Via WWE.com  — WWE has suspended Saraya-Jade Bevis (Paige) for 30 days effective tomorrow, Thursday, Aug. 18, for her first violation of the company’s talent wellness policy

Pretty interesting that this suspension comes off the heels of her boyfriend (Alberto DelRio’s) suspension

Paige’s Injuries Could Be Worse Than Originally Thought

There’s a little bit more on Paige’s injury issues in the latest Wrestling Observer newsletter. Dave Meltzer reports that there may be nerve damage regarding her neck and back issues. Meltzer was told that her neck issue is similar to what a lot of guys have had in the past with serious problems where the problem led to weakness in the right arm. That is usually the first stage of major issues with a lot of wrestlers in the past.

One thing that wasn’t mentioned in the Observer was that Paige was diagnosed with scoliosis. She found out while she was still in FCW a few years ago. Basically, that means that she has an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. That likely contributed to her current issues.

We wish her a speedy recovery. Paige tweeted the following on July 31st:

Alberto Del Rio Allegedly Provides Further Details On Paige Incident To MLW Radio – Video Of Incident

Source: Pro Wrestling Sheet 

Alberto Del Rio has dished out additional details to MLW Radio on what led to Paige being detained after Money in the Bank … claiming officers intervened after hecklers refused to give up.

Del Rio allegedly told MLW’s Court Bauer that he and Paige were repeatedly being harassed by a drunk couple at a show following MITB, so they asked security to kick the two hecklers out.

Bauer says the couple waited outside for Del Rio/Paige to leave and when they exited the hotel, there was a confrontation.  Police arrived on-scene shortly after.

As we previously reported, police say they were flagged down after a woman was seen running into the street. Paige was detained and officers determined that she needed further medical evaluation.

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:
