Paige’s Injuries Could Be Worse Than Originally Thought

Source: WrestlingNewsCo.com

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 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:

Paige – Detained By Police After MITB, Taken To Hospital For Medical Evaluation

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:

Backstage News On Controversial RAW Angle Between Charlotte & Paige

PWInsider reports that the controversial RAW ending with Paige and Divas Champion Charlotte, where Paige took a shot at Charlotte’s late brother Reid Flair, the idea to mention Reid was presented to Charlotte and she was able to give feedback on the angle, in terms of verbiage she would use and the way the angle was being presented.

The original idea reportedly came from something Charlotte mentioned to WWE creative, about how her entire career is a tribute to Reid. some parts of the angle were dropped throughout the day and other parts evolved. Charlotte was not forced into the segment and was given time to prepare to give feedback during the day.

The angle was discussed throughout the day and senior WWE creative members were against it. Some voiced their opinion to Vince McMahon, who ultimately made the call. There’s talk that the angle was actually pulled before RAW went on the air but Vince made the decision to keep it on the show.

WWE issued the following statement:

“Subject matter this personal is only approved as a result of the strong advocacy of the talent themselves. Notwithstanding that, WWE is ultimately responsible for what airs in its programming.”
