WWE News: Paige Clarifies She Was Not On Drugs, Last Year
Apr 22, 2017 at 4:21 PM
The nightmare for Paige began last year after WWE suspended her from the company for one month. The relationship between her and the company started to deteriorate from that point onwards.
WWE only gave us updates stating that the anti-Diva has suffered a Wellness Policy Violation but never stated the actual reason behind it.
The real story behind the suspension was made clear after the situation was addressed on the Total Divas show, in the latest episode. The first thing that was reported by various sources was that Paige took PEDs, last year going totally out of WWE’s rules.
Apparently, she was suffering from a long-term neck issue and did not want to undergo a surgery with the fear that she might miss screen time. The Drugs might have cured her to a certain level, as per the then rumours.
However, the entire speculation was wiped out after Paige commented on the scenario. She clarified that she was never on drugs, ever. WWE has a rule of testing superstars at a certain point of time. She has gone through it and passed.
But, she did not do it in time making her go into the bad books of the company. As a result, she suffered an unfortunate suspension. Here are her comments:
“WWE posted a statement about me failing the wellness policy. We get drug tested all the time…first of all, I don’t do drugs. Second, of all, I did the test and I passed it. They’re only suspending me because I didn’t take it in the allotted time that they gave me.”
Interestingly, Alberto Del Rio was not shown on the episode of Total Divas. Paige was only heard of having a conversation with him over the phone.
In case you have forgotten, Del Rio has also suffered a suspension alongside her girlfriend, for the same reason.
Apparently, WWE never wanted to see these two engaged. So, it was accused that the company tried numerous times to split them up. Recently, the former WWE champion went on a rant blaming WWE, for multiple times.
The conflict is still ongoing between the two parties. As a result, no pictures of Paige were posted on WWE.com from the episode. No video segment was also uploaded on the Youtube channel, as well featuring the former Divas champion.
This tradition has been continuing for the entire sixth season of Total Divas now.
