While participating in Impact Wrestling’s conference call this week, Alberto El Patron was asked about his ex-girlfriend’s return to WWE programming and said that she’s doing a fantastic job.

“It’s fantastic, it was just about time. I used to say this all the time, people forget that she had neck surgery, screws behind her neck,” El Patron said. “That’s the reason why she was out of the business and it takes time to recover from something like that and then she started working really hard for her big comeback, and now she’s there. She’s doing what she has been doing since the beginning of her career in WWE. She’s killing it, she’s doing a fantastic job. I said it before and I’ll say it again, she has all the potential to be the most successful Diva of all time. We have to give her time.”

As previously reported, Paige revealed a few weeks back that she is single but didn’t elaborate when exactly the split took place.

PWInsider reports that some talents at this week’s Impact tapings were unhappy that Alberto El Patron has his own private locker room (trailer) while all the other male talents have to share one locker room. Patron’s deal with the company calls for him to have his own private locker room when they are at the tapings.

Speaking of Patron, he left Ottawa this morning and will not be at the final television tapings tonight. Also, his Bound for Glory promo was cut from the UK airing of the show.

Anthem Sports is in Ottawa, Canada to tape upcoming episodes of Impact Wrestling. Here are the spoiler results, courtesy of Wrestling Inc:

ONE NIGHT ONLY MATCH:

* EC3 vs Moose. Moose gets the win with The Game Changer (discus clothesline) in a bit of an upset.

Impact Tapings to air Nov. 23:

* Laurel Van Ness vs Traci Spinelli vs. the returning Madison Rayne in a 3 way qualifying match for the vacant Knockouts Title. The winner goes to the final. Laurel wins with a jumping Unprettier. Nice to see her getting a push & away from the crazy boyfriend hunt.

* Global Forged winner: Hakim Zane vs Ishimori. Zane is a heel using hair pulling early on. Ishimori hits a 450 off the top to win. Curious booking of Zane in his first match. Trevor Lee & Caleb Konley attack Ishimori after the match, so this looks to be Trevor’s next feud.

Alberto vs Johnny Impact is announced for later as is a dreaded Thanksgiving match with the loser wearing the awful Turkey suit.

* Texano Jr. vs The Cowboy James Storm. Nice hard hitting match with Tejano controlling most of the match until he puts on his cowboy hat & yells to the crowd, “I’m a real cowboy!” Then he turns around right into The Last Call by Storm for the pin. American Top Team-including King Mo who still has a bandage over his eyebrow-attacks Storm on the ramp. Moose comes out with a chair to everyone out. Lambert gets a mic and says this ends next when he challenged Moose & Storm to a match vs Bobby Lashley & Dan Lambert.

* The Grand Champion EC3 joins the commentary desk for the next match: Tyson Dux vs Matt Sydal. Sydal wins with The Shooting Star Press, but Dux was very impressive.

* Alberto El Patron vs Johnny Impact. Wild match with lots of fighting outside the ring. Alberto gets a small cut on his forehead when he slipped on one the ring stairs while doing a double stomp on Johnny. Eli Drake comes down to get in Alberto’s face and tells him to finish Johnny. Alberto punches him and hits Drake in the back. When he returns to the ring, Impact nails Starship Pain for the win. Adonis and Drake attack after the match in the ring until Petey Williams evens things up and they clear the ring & celebrate together.

ONE NIGHT ONLY MATCH:

* KC Spinelli vs Rosemary. The ending comes when KC misses a top rope moonsault & Rosemary hits The Red Wedding. KC looked very strong in the match & got a lot of offence.

More Impact Tapings: A table with Thanksgiving food is set up. It’ll be a 5 on 5 match with the person pinned being forced to wear the horrible Turkey suit. Why, oh why?? Smh. Chef Robert Irvine is here and he prepared all of the food. The turkey is brought out and JB asks the crowd to start a “Turkey” chant & a lot of the crowd obliged. I did a few times, too. Lol So the match is: Caleb Konley, Laurel Van Ness, KM-who’s cut his hair very short and is wearing a black bandana on his forehead, Fantasma, & Chris Adonis vs Richard Justice, Allie, Garza Jr., Fallah Bahh, & Eddie Edwards. Both teams have separate tables of food & throw some into the crowd. Eli Drake is in the ring and says it’s his show and wants JB to make sure the loser puts the suit on. Eli is eating at a table during most of the match, Laurel hides under one of the tables to stay out of the match. Adonis tries to get Eddie in the Adonis lock but Eddie rolls him up for the victory. Eli tries to get Adonis out of it and Chris goes tries to the back, but security stops him and JB tells him to come back. JB tells Adonis he is contractually obligated to put on the suit, or Eli Drake will have to wear it. Chris finally resents & wears the suit. A food fight breaks out, shockingly. Eddie is held in the ring by Drake & Chris goes to hit Eddie, but he ducks and Drake gets the pie. It wasn’t crazy bad, but not great.

* JB announces a 3 way match in 6 sides of steel for the World Title with Eli Drake defending against Johnny Impact & Alberto El Patron.

ONE NIGHT ONLY MATCH:

* Trevor Lee & Caleb Konley vs L.A.X. (Santana & Ortiz w/Homicide & Konnan). No Diamante again. LAX win their top rope blockbuster into a powerbomb finish.

OVE vs Dezmond Xavier & Eddie Edwards. OVE are out alone. Eddie & Dezmond win.

In the final match of the night Bobby Lashley faces Fantasma. Bobby nails a hurricanrana – first time I’ve ever seen him do that. He then hit a spear.

Combate C.E.O. Campbell McLaren stated in a recent interview that Alberto El Patron (Jose Rodriguez) will be stepping down from his figurehead role as the president of Combate Americas, according to The Fight Network.

“He’s probably stepping back his official roles from Combate and he’s going to focus on more on wrestling for the next year or two. It’s a very challenging enterprise and I think it’s very, very hard on the body and difficult to do. Very physical, very athletic, so I he’s kind of asked me if he can step away and with Saraya, focus on wrestling”.

As previously noted, Patron was suspended by Global Force Wrestling following reports of a domestic battery incident at the Orlando International Airport earlier this month.

Paige issued the following statement on Twitter regarding the incident at the Orlando airport. In the statement she claims that Alberto El Patron never hit her and she’s never hit him, however admits that she has charges against her for throwing a drink on El Patron.

“Alberto didn’t want me to say full story because he didn’t want people to know and I didn’t want people to know that I threw a drink on him. But the full story is. I had a phone call saying my uncle is in a bad way. I’m crying outside the restaurant. I go in, alberto is hugging me. I’m a little sensitive and we start bickering about something so small. I say I’m leaving and he says something that I won’t write on here but it wasn’t nice and I, even though I shouldn’t have done it. I threw a drink in his face because I was so angry. Again. Shouldn’t have done it. It was in front of a lot of people. I walk out. He follows me a few seconds later and gets the cops and security and a crazy lady decides to leave whatever she’s doing to follow us and invade our privacy in the completely low way. Only low life people would do.

Anyways. It was ME who was being held for battery charges because I threw a drink on him. No. he never touched me and no I never hit him with a glass 3 times like the internet in all their glory is making out. Its completely ridiculous how one story can spiral out of control. Oh and guess what internet. He smelt like beer BECAUSE I THREW A BEER ON HIM. Nothing more. Nothing less. No one got arrested. There’s no mug shots. There’s no charges. Nothing. The horrible, disgusting human being of lady decided she wanted to make money out of our misfortune. I wish, WISH people would give us the privacy we deserve. I know we won’t get it. But I WISH that would happen.

And if you listen to that stupid audio. You will hear him saying he’s pressing charges on ME. We all say stuff when we are mad.

That’s all I will say about the airport situation. Again. Thanks for the privacy at this time.”

The post Paige Claims Alberto El Patron Never Hit Her appeared first on Wrestling News & WWE News, Rumors & Spoilers.

The witness who saw the altercation between Paige and Alberto Del Rio recent spoke to Heavy.com regarding the situation. Here are a few notes from what actually transpired:

– The witness admits to discreetly attempting to take pictures of Paige as she walked and talked on the phone until she was noticed. Paige walked back into the restaurant and one of the four people at her table walked out, presumably to see if she was still there.

– Paige came storming back out of the restaurant “crying and yelling.” Del Rio, visibly “soaked” in liquid, chased after her as she fled onto the nearby tram system. Page told Del Rio, ‘You’re such an abusive husband, I hate you. You’ve ruined my life, you’ve ruined my career’” Del Rio and Paige continued their argument for a short while on the tram car as Del Rio said, “Check her bag, she’s got all the coke in it, it’s all hers.” This is when the witness started recording the audio.

– “Let’s do it, get the cops,” Del Rio can be heard saying in the video. Paige responds by saying, “Just stay out of my life, leave me the f**k alone, I’m trying to get away from you.” This is when Del Rio started claiming that Paige assaulted him.

– The witness believed the argument between the pair started because Del Rio said inflammatory comments about one of Paige’s family members.

“From what I gather, he said something like, ‘I hope your f***ing uncle dies tomorrow, and grabs her wrist because he was mad she was on the phone for so long,” said the witness. “They wanted to leave, so he got mad and grabbed her wrist. She got upset and threw water on him and she ran out.”

After the audio stopped recording, the witness said that she stayed along with Paige and asked if she needs any assistance.

“I just wanted to help at that point,” she said, noting that an airport security guard with a K-9 stopped Del Rio “because they could smell the alcohol.”
