The WWE report doesn’t add much information:
WWE has suspended Saraya-Jade Bevis (Paige) for 60 days effective immediately, for her second violation of the company’s talent wellness policy.
Paige was previously suspended for a violation of the wellness policy back in August, almost immediately following a similar suspension for her significant other, Alberto Del Rio. According to reports, the violation happened not because Paige was found to be on drugs, but because she was away with Del Rio during the testing time and couldn’t get back in time to take an unannounced test, and was therefore automatically suspended.
That was followed by unsubstantiated reports that she’d be leaving the company alongside Alberto, and the revelation that she’d be having neck surgery. Paige has also occasionally been a part of Alberto’s retelling of his recent stabbing, causing most people who try to follow the story to throw up their hands and say, “What the f*ck, guys, Jesus Christ.”
The 24-year old Paige is now guaranteed to sit out at least two more months. She responded via Twitter:
