Paige: ‘Rumors that I’m leaving the WWE are completely false’
Paige took to Twitter on Wednesday afternoon to address her recent wellness policy violation, being suspended by WWE, and rumors that she would be leaving the company.
Paige’s statement (with paragraph breaks added) is available below:
“First, I’d like to thank all my fans for their love and support the last few weeks. Let me begin by saying that 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.
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 due to 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!”
