The WWE announced on Monday that former WWE Divas Champion Paige has been suspended for 60-days following her second violation of the WWE's Wellness Policy. Paige was suspended in August for 30 days.
Paige commented on the matter, saying on Twitter "Same shit different day. Kids..Please don't get prescriptions or doctors notes. Not acceptable. Rules apply depending on your status," said Paige.
The WWE issued a statement, which you can see below.
WWE has suspended Saraya-Jade Bevis (Paige) for 60 days effective immediately, for her second violation of the company’s talent wellness policy
Paige took to social media last month to state that she didn't fail a drug test, but instead was late for one.
""First I'd like to thank all my fans for their love and support the last few weeks," Paige said. "Let me begin by saying the rumors that I'm leaving the WWE are completely false! I certainly look forward to returning back to action at some point, once my injury is treated and on a healthy return," said Paige. "Although I was disappointed by my suspension, I respect the WWE's Wellness Policy. However, let me be clear that I was not suspended for failing a drug test, it was merely a procedural issue. I took the test, I passed it. I arranged said test to happen after I wasn't at my home when Aegis contacted me. So I drove 200 miles to do it. Unfortunately, I didn't do it in time, according to Aegis. Once again, thank you for all the love and support!"
Paige is sidelined for the foreseeable future anyway, as she announced she's likely having neck surgery.
The WWE has had a tumultuous relationship with Paige and her boyfriend Alberto Del RIo. Del RIo was released from the company last month.
UPDATE: Paige's father says her wellness violation was due to painkillers.
