Speculation has been running rampant for weeks that she and WWE were on the verge of parting ways, but things appear to be returning to normal.

Pro Wrestling Insider is reporting that Paige and the WWE have been communicating over the past several days, and she is now booked for next week’s Monday Night Raw taping in Memphis, Tennessee.
Paige squashed rumors of a potential WWE departure and clarified the reasoning behind her suspension in a statement released Wednesday on Twitter.
The Norwich, England native recently revelaed she had a “papi” tattoo as an ode to Del Rio and it seems she recently added some more ink in a tribute to her boyfriend.
When Alberto Del Rio was granted his release from the WWE earlier this month, many expected his girlfriend, and fellow WWE superstar, Paige, to follow him out the door.
She also went on to explain that her Wellness Policy suspension (which ends on September 17) was not doled out because she failed a drug test.
Front Row Brian initially reported the news that Paige had retained legal representation to assist her in getting out of her contract with WWE, which reportedly runs through 2019.
Because the WWE made a decision to split up both the tag team and women’s divisions, there has been a clear lack of depth on both shows.
In that piece, I talked about how if she was going to leave that it was going to leave a major void in the woman’s division on Raw.
In his first night back, at Hell In A Cell, Del Rio returned to a huge reaction and even defeated John Cena clean for the United States Championship.

TNA is said to be extremely interested in signing Del Rio. The two have filmed material to be included on Total Divas. With Del Rio now gone from the company, it is unknown if he will still be a fixture on the show or if things will have to be rewritten.
