Author Topic: Alberto del Rio and Paige suspended. (Read 3484 times)

Within hours today, WWE announced that Alberto del Rio and Paige were suspended due to their first violation of the wellness policy. Seems plausible, as they're dating each other, and they could have been romantically sharing from the same pill bottle...

What's interesting is that ADR and Triple H are both unhappy with his current run in the company, and rumors abound he'll be out of WWE by October. Could this be a way to get both ADR and Paige off TV before they leave the fed? Any idea when Paige's current contract is up? Could we see them both in Lucha Underground in 2017?

And your next TNA World Champion is...

Actually that wouldn't be a bad idea...

Still it is a bit suspicious that an alleged couple get suspended on the same day, and one of them is on the injured list.

Add Eva Marie to the suspended list. Right in the middle of a push that had real traction, too.

Luckily that push doesn't really require her to do anything. I'll be curious whether it continues once she returns or not.

Strong rumors that Del Rio is outtahere as soon as he is legally able, and that he has an out next month in his contract, so it could happen...

Hey if we get ADR vs. Lashley and Paige vs. Gail out of the deal, I won't complain...

Considering the current financial woes over at Impact Wrestling, I'd be looking for ADR's return to Lucha Underground or AAA before waiting for his debut in the Impact Zone...

I could see Paige in AAA too. ADR would fit just about anywhere he goes.

He burned some bridges in both AAA and LU when he rejoined WWE last year. Still an option, but he essentially walked out on them and then didn't drop the World championship as promised.

I had forgotten about that. Excellent point. Technically, ADR was the AAA champ and WWE US champ simultaneously when he beat Cena last year...

"What's Albert of the River and his Page doing in the Impact Zone?"

How much of that was him and how much of that was WWE forcing his hand?

I'm sure it was all WWE, but he still should've said "I'm not signing unless you allow me to drop this".

Prime · « **Reply #13 on:** September 09, 2016, 10:04:36 AM »

I just got a breaking ESPN alert that WWE and ADR have "mutually agreed to terms on his release".

FreebirdSTF · « **Reply #14 on:** September 09, 2016, 10:20:42 AM »

Of note, WWE did not wish him well in his future endeavors. Del Rio released a statement that was much more positive via Twitter. Sounds like he took the high road.

And per the A1 Podcast, Paige has quit the WWE and has retained legal counsel

FreebirdSTF · « **Reply #16 on:** September 09, 2016, 03:31:50 PM »

She did not speak, but was present at his press conference today.

dam skippy · « **Reply #17 on:** September 09, 2016, 03:34:42 PM »

I ama big Paige fan. WWE did great with her at first but her time came right before the "revolution." She proved she could go with Charlotte. I will try to watch her matches in other companies now.

SupTool · « **Reply #18 on:** October 10, 2016, 12:48:56 PM »

Per Josh @Southpawjosh Paige failed another wellness test. 60 day suspension

FATSEXY · « **Reply #19 on:** October 10, 2016, 12:53:51 PM »

The bad news is Paige should be doing a porn within the next few years.

The good news is we get to see Paige in a porn.

When does Missy Hyatt make another Wrestling ViXXXens with Paige as the star?

FreebirdSTF · « **Reply #21 on:** October 11, 2016, 08:35:33 AM »

I saw a really vague accusation that she has a real recreational drug problem to the point that she's possibly running drugs for someone, etc.

I certainly hope that is not true.

The story as I hear it is she's taking prescription pain pills for her neck, but the prescription was not given by a WWE Doctor.

Suddenly the incident with Del Rio getting stabbed seems more ominous
