I wonder if the WWE ever tried to split up Stephanie and HHH? I wondered that too.

Eh fire her already. They got as much as they can from having her on the roster. Use the money they pay her to buy an espresso machine for backstage or something. Agreed. But job her out to Becky Lynch on her way......she may as well do some good on the last lap.

I work in retail and they just split a couple up because they were being weirdos when they should be working. It must be so much worse with all the hormones, and a 23 year old... Yuck.

That's what should happen to Eva Marie, but what about Paige? I personally think Paige should take some time off from the wrestling industry, maybe for a month or so. Just stay away from your family (whom are definitely a bad influence) & break up with Del Rio (I think he'll just get bored & break up with her anyway) The main problem is that I think she's stopped caring because it's not fun & it's just became a paycheck. So if she wants to come out of this okay, she needs to take some time off alone, keep on good terms if she'd want to come back, but just travel & do the things she could enjoy with thout doing anything she would later regret.

I still think that it was a strategic move to test them both after her birthday. Del Rio had already given notice, so they figured this would get him out of the picture altogether and it was a stern warning/strike one for her. As far as i know they're still together, so who knows how well this will work. On the other hand, unless it's forbidden by employment code (which it can't be for independent contractors), then they shouldn't be able to do anything more than separate them between brands. Threatening to fire her is ridiculous. As much as i love double double E, it just seems to be a nightmare of a company to work for and a total pack of wolves with regard to the corporate culture.

The reason the WWE didn't want Paige and Alberto Del Rio dating likely stems from Del Rio being a bad influence on Paige. Does it ever occur to anybody that both getting popped at the same time was odd? It goes beyond the corporate culture. The WWE invested time in making Paige a major player in the Women's Division only to fall into a hole. The impression I have gathered about Paige is she is a 24 year old woman who hasn't matured into an actual adult. Mind you, I actually listened to the MSL & Sullivan podcast (I listen to it every week) and there is a ton of water in what MSL stated. I can assure you, MSL does have contacts in the WWE. It is sad that Paige's best work was in NXT.

Plus we never heard of WWE trying to split up Bryan/Brie or Cena/Nikki, so that's why I either find this hard to believe or think there's more to the story than we know. They are all bigger players than ADR and Paige. what exactly were they suspended for anyway? Was that ever announced ? No, but supposedly they were for different substances.

It is sad that Paige's best work was in NXT. Regardless, Paige is a grown woman, not a child. At 24 she should be allowed to make her own mistakes. They put money into her, but they haven't really showcased her in over a year. You can't blame Del Rio for that. Maybe he exacerbated it, but again, she should be able to make her own decisions without having to worry about basically being forced to break up with someone. If they don't like how she's living, cut the loss. It's not like she's Roman or Cena. Becky, Charlotte, Bayley, Nikki, and Sasha are all infinitely more valuable right now...even Eva and Dana based on how Paige has been booked over the past year and a half. They can make another girl just as popular, so I don't accept protecting their investment as an appropriate reason for putting down an edict that she end her relationship or be fired. WWE is not her mother, nor should they act like they are. To me this still makes WWE look like the bad guy, regardless of the bad influence that I absolutely don't deny that Del Rio is. And yes, I mentioned in the first sentence that it was a seemingly strategic move to test them both after her birthday at a time when they were confident that they could nab them both.

There has to be more to the story then just WWE didn't want them to. What it is? i or no one knows except them. Maybe it had something to do with that ambulance and her being in cuffs in the pic that was during one of the PPVs? we can only speculate but i don't see why WWE would just tr to break them up for no reason.

Bryan started dating Brie right after the story line with him, The Bellas, & Gail Kim. That was back in 2011-2012. Long before Bryan became a mega star. He was a mid-carder at best. So IMO, it's a fine comparison.

What's the point of comparing them to a couple that never made any controversial news

How about this: In addition to being a wrestler, they have also made her a reality star. With Del Rio only contracted for a year Im sure they dwdntont want Paige to turn into a gigantic billboard for Lucha Underground or AAA on social media or have to dance around it on Total Divas. I get it, but I also hate love just like WWE.

Or....
...we could all stop trying to make excuses for these two, stop blaming WWE for 'splitting them up', stop pretending we know anything about the execution of WWEs wellness testing.... and accept they're both unprofessional and neither deserve their job anymore.
There is a roster over 100 strong of men and women who bust their ass for the company just for a chance to get a televised match. Most know they have little chance, and yet they STILL bust their ass to show effort and willing.
People are quick to crapon Eva Marie for taking a fat burner to aid her ascension within WWE.
People are quick to crapon Lesnar for taking a performance enhancer prior to fighting in UFC and heightening media attention towards himself (and in turn, WWE).
People were SCREAMING for Roman Reigns immediate demotion when he was strung up for similar body enhancing drug offences.
....but not Paige. Paige takes COCAINE and we get a thread running 2 weeks later, where people are STILL trying to blame WWE. people are STILL trying to deflect attention onto their relationship so they can give themselves the explanation that satisfies them and gives them peice of mind. People are STILL hoping she gets another chance.
"nooo but unconfirmed reports confirm that she confirmed that her and ADR did confirm different drugs and confirm confirm"... STFU you sadacts. She took a Class-A drug. Role models for children dont take ANY drugs. Get over it.
This isn't 2009, where WWE were SLAMMED for how they handled the release of Brian Kendrick. It all blew over and many years later he made a comeback, and held his hands up to being completely responsible for the end of his last tenure.... Don't let Paige make you look as stupid as those forum dwellers from 2009 now look.
It's black and white, people. She took recreational drugs for no benefit other than a personal short term high. She deserves nothing. This isn't the carefree mid 80s/90s. Cocaine isn't acceptable in society, full stop. The hypocritical nature of some of the debates in this thread, especially when compared to recent threads regarding Roman, Eva and Lesnar are absolutely PATHETIC.
I laugh, both at the ones trying to defend her, and the ones who once attacked me for hating on her, who now openly agree she would be no loss to WWEs Women's Division.
Lock this thread now, before I'm forced to make a fat-burning-pill joke again.
