It was reported on Monday that Paige was at the WWE Performance Center training for her comeback.

Bryan Alvarez discussed Paige’s status on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Live and provided further details on her return. Alvarez said that Paige was evaluated at the Performance Center and her neck checked out just fine. She is expected to return at any time now.

In regards to which brand Paige will be on, it’s very possible now that she is brought to the SmackDown Live brand instead of RAW because Asuka is headed to RAW.
