It seems like Paige and boyfriend Alberto Del Rio can barely go a day without making the news at the moment, and they're back in the headlines this morning. The duo have gotten engaged, and it happened in the ring.

Paige and Del Rio (now working as Alberto El Patron) were working WWC's Anniversario show in Puerto Rico on Sunday night when Paige pulled out a ring, dropped to a knee, and popped the question. Alberto accepted, and there are now countless pictures of the event doing the rounds on social media.

Del Rio's wife filed for divorce earlier this year after coming across pictures of him and Paige on social media. The duo's relationship was often cited as a source of tension with WWE management, and between Paige's two Wellness Policy violations and Alberto's recent stabbing, they've barely been out of the news lately.

Paige is currently undergoing a 60-day suspension from WWE for a failed drug test, while Del Rio is staying busy as a freelance wrestler and budding MMA manager. It remains to be seen how the news will sit with WWE, but despite taking place at a pro-wrestling show, there's no indication that the engagement isn't legitimate.
