Rumor Killer on Paige Being Backstage at Tonight’s RAW
…
During today’s Global Force Wrestling conference Call with Dutch Mantell and Bruce Prichard, it was noted that Alberto El Patron’s suspension has not been lifted, despite him being cleared as a suspect in the Orlando airport incident with Paige from earlier this month.
It was noted during the call that the company is conducting their own internal investigation and once they come to a conclusion, a decision will be made.
“We’re doing an internal review of it because it’s something we don’t take lightly,” Mantel said. “When that’s completed, we will release our findings.”
Several non-reliable websites reported yesterday that Orlando PD issued an arrest warrant over the Orlando airport incident that involved Paige and Alberto El Patron. The report claimed that the District Attorney was moving forward with the charges and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
Paige addressed these false reports on Twitter with the following remarks:
As previously reported, there was concern within the Internet Wrestling Community after a recent photo of Paige surfaced on Twitter by the User @Artvelascor of Paige looking much skinnier than she has in the past.
Paige has since then posted a new photo of herself and explained why she looked so skinny in the earlier photo:

Russo opens today’s show by commentating on the recent drama in the relationship between Paige and Alberto Del Rio. He says that he met Paige and her family before, and they’re all very nice people. He has also met Del Rio in the past and he was very nice as well. In other words, he likes both of these individuals and he really just wants both of them to be okay.
He says that he doesn’t put any weight into the headlines written by wrestling ‘journalists’, but the tweets that were sent out by Paige’s brother really caught his attention. Some people forget that Paige is still just a kid, and her family are obviously very concerned about her. He believes that there is love in that relationship and he thinks they’re both good people, so he hopes they can figure this out.
Lane mentions that there has been some criticism from dirt sheet writers, Bryan Alvarez in particular, over the fact that Billy Gunn worked the recent NJPW show from the United States. Russo says he’s glad that Gunn wrestled on that show, and he’s glad that he’ll continue to wrestle for the foreseeable future because he’s able to make money doing that. This is a business, and each time Gunn wrestles he gets paid, so what’s the problem here?
Russo says that Gunn is still a machine at his age. He adds that in a shoot fight, Gunn would give Brock Lesnar a tougher bout than Samoa Joe or most other performers on WWE’s roster.
