As noted, Paige has been suspended for 60 days due to her second violation of the WWE Wellness Policy. Her father later revealed on Facebook that she was prescribed painkillers for a neck injury, and that was why she failed a WWE test.
Paige’s boyfriend Alberto Del Rio, who’s now using the name Alberto El Presidente, spoke with ESPN and says he believes Paige is being treated unfairly by WWE. He said:
“It’s just like she said in her statement this afternoon. It’s just the same s–t, different day my friend.”
Regarding rumors that WWE has tried to break the two up, the former WWE Champion said:
“To be honest, I don’t care what they say or what they try to do. We are together and we are happy. I know a lot of people are not happy but regardless of whatever people say, we can be happy. We can be together. And we are going to stay together because we are happy. If someone is not comfortable or happy about it, we just don’t care. We are going to continue our life. Our families are happy and we’re happy. That’s all that matters.”
