WWE just announced the following:
Paige suspended for 60 days
STAMFORD, Conn. — WWE has suspended Saraya-Jade Bevis (Paige) for 60 days effective immediately, for her second violation of the company’s talent wellness policy.
Paige tweeted the following after WWE made the announcement:
There’s a lot of speculation on the alleged Alberto Del Rio stabbing incident over the weekend in San Antonio, Texas. As noted via MLW Radio, Del Rio was stabbed several times by a man on Saturday after the man hit Del Rio’s car with his own car by accident. The two drivers exited their vehicles and had words, leading to the man pulling a knife. Del Rio reportedly turned to leave, as he had to catch a flight to Mexico for Sunday’s AAA show that he missed, but the man slashed him from behind. They ended up on the ground and Del Rio got the knife away from the man but he fled in his vehicle. Reports from Del Rio and MLW Radio were that witnesses saw the attack and got the man’s license plate, police were called and a report was filed.
According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio and Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet, the San Antonio Police have no record of the alleged attack involving a high-profile celebrity. Meltzer says the local police aren’t saying the incident did not happen but they apparently don’t know about it.
Another interesting twist to the story is Del Rio’s girlfriend Paige. The report from MLW Radio did not mention the injured WWE Superstar being there but one account Del Rio gave Mexican media did. Meltzer was also relayed a story that mentioned Paige being there. Word is that while Del Rio and the man went to the ground with the man still stabbing Del Rio, she got involved and was thrown by the suspect. Del Rio went to check on her and that is when the man got away in his own car.
Paige being there also raises suspicion on Del Rio’s claim that he could not contact AAA until Monday morning because he lost his phone during the incident as Paige was with him and would have had a phone to use to at least start the process of notifying AAA.

Paige’s brother Zak noted on Facebook last week that Paige “hasn’t left [WWE]” and “is back on the road with WWE from” today. WWE announced last month that Paige had been suspended for 30 days for her first WWE Wellness Policy violation. The suspension was effective August 18th, so her suspension ended yesterday.
It was widely rumored that Paige would not be returning to WWE after her real-life boyfriend, Alberto Del Rio, gave notice and was granted his release from the company earlier this month. She had recently acquired legal representation, and Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that she did quit WWE last week at one point, however an attempt was made to “mend fences” and things were settled.
Meltzer added that WWE had at one point made the decision to fire Paige before the announcement of her Wellness policy failure, however they changed their minds.
As noted, Paige posted the following on Instagram last week:

WWE Superstar Paige has mended her relationship with the company, but won’t be getting back in the ring any time soon. As of Friday Paige is not medically cleared to wrestle, according to an exclusive report by Mister Saint Laurent of MLW Radio.
Paige’s rocky month has been well-documented. After being suspended last month for violating the company’s talent wellness policy, she effectively quit WWE and retained legal representation to get out of her contract. She was all but gone from the company and plans were in place to announce her release. Cooler heads prevailed and she’ll be back in the ring once she’s healthy.
Earlier this week, a statement was issued on Paige’s social media accounts denying she quit WWE and addressing the ongoing injuries. “I certainly look forward to returning back to action at some point, once my injury is treated and on a healthy return.”
Monday is the soonest we could see Paige back on television, as her 30-day suspension will be completed. But don’t expect to see her in the ring on RAW unless she gets cleared by show time.

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.
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.

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.

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.
You can check out the full episode of MSL & Sullivan here, and you can also check out an interview with MSL and Darren Paltrowitz of Still Real To Us here.
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
