Update to Paige Facing Domestic Violence Charges and Status in WWE

As reported earlier, Orlando police are considering pressing charges against Paige in regards to the recent domestic violence incident between her and Alberto El Patron (Del Rio in WWE).

The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer reported if Paige is charged with domestic violence, she will likely face an immediate and indefinite suspension in the WWE due to their zero-tolerance policy on domestic violence abuse. If convicted, WWE has the ability to immediately terminate her contract under this policy. Even without a conviction, WWE still can terminate her contract as was the case with Adam Rose and his domestic violence incident in 2016.
