Paige Training For Impending WWE Comeback

The controversial star is gearing up to return to action.


Although it's been almost a year since she's performed inside a wrestling ring, Paige has managed to remain one of the most talked about performers in the entire industry, mostly for reasons potentially damaging to her career.

During her hiatus she was hit with two Wellness Policy violations shortly before undergoing and rehabbing from a neck surgery that WWE was allegedly not in favor of.

The former NXT and WWE champion also began a highly-scrutinized relationship with Alberto El Patron, who frequently hurls public insults at her present and his former employer, which can't sit well with the brass at WWE. And to top all that off, during filming of the Dwayne Johnson-produced biopic on her family's adventures in pro wrestling, she was victimized by a leak of private photos and videos to the internet.

With all the controversy surrounding 'The Anti-Diva', it began to feel as if we'd seen the last of Paige on Vince McMahon's programming. Not so, according to the English superstar, as she recently updated her social media with messages that indicate her return is on the horizon.

Paige tweeted that she was undergoing her final x-rays along with the word "comeback", and PWInsider claims to have spoken with company sources that confirmed she will return to action if medically cleared by the results. Photos posted to her Instagram account reveal she appears to be in great shape physically.

It seems there's no bridge burned between WWE and talent that's incapable of being rebuilt, so perhaps all is well between the two parties and we'll see Paige back in action sooner than expected. Surely 'The Rock' and everyone involved in the production of Fighting With My Family would prefer her to help with the film's promotion, and it's well known if there's money to be made with someone Vince is willing to overlook any bad blood that might exist.

In regards to the WWE product, the brand split has weakened the women's division, highlighting a top heavy lack of depth on both Raw and SmackDown. Paige's ability and star power would go a long way in strengthening whichever show she ends up on.
