There continues to be talk of D-Von Dudley coming back to work for WWE as a backstage agent. He would still run the Team 3D Wrestling Academy in Florida but this means that Bubba Ray Dudley would likely continue working the indies as a singles star.
PWInsider reported that Luke Harper was backstage at Monday Night RAW in Memphis. He was apparently getting checked out by WWE’s medical staff. Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that he has officially been cleared to return to the ring.
Harper was recently given the green light by WWE docs, but it’s unclear which brand he’ll appear on at this point since he went un-drafted in July.
Harper was injured back in March, months later, Luke revealed that he dislocated his patella and tore his MPFL ligament.

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.

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Randy Orton sustained a concussion last month at SummerSlam, and it’s why he didn’t wrestle Bray Wyatt last night at Backlash.
Our sources say the concussion occurred during Orton’s bloody encounter with Brock Lesnar … and although there’s no word on when it happened in the match, we’re guessing it was sustained during one of the many canned-ham-sized elbows he took to the skull.
Initial tests indicated he’d be good to go — which is why he was promoted for Backlash up until the event started — however, due to the type of injury, WWE officials instead made the decision to go withKane vs. Wyatt in a No Holds Barred match at the last minute.
For those who missed it, Orton was written out of the match after Bray attacked him backstage earlier in the night. He eventually re-appeared later and caused Wyatt to lose to his surprise opponent.
