it's a shame these two can't sing because i love petty breakup songs and i have a feeling the breakup will be lit and full of fuckery.

So Paige is upset the WWE is mingling in her life...and the WWE is upset that Del Rio is a bad influence?
That sums it up pretty nicely.

I don't know how legit this source is, but a lot of dirt sheets have been running with this for the past hour. Once WWE has confirmed her departure, I'll post it.

Paige hasn't been relevent for a year, and hasn't lived up to any potential I heard she had when I first heard about her.

Judging from her appearances on podcasts, reality shows and interviews....she is immature and not very bright.

No big loss, just another case of potential not being met.

Will remain true whether or not this story is accurate.

Nah I disagree. I think she was a huge asset to the company when she wasn't being a cunt. She was a very good wrestler and had charisma but I guess charming Mexicans are more important.

Horsewomen and Bellas have delivered more than Paige during her entire run.

Which is sad considering she's supposed to be a second generation wrestler.

Yeah cause they've been here longer. Paige winning the title on her debut was awesome as was her title run and she's always proved capable in the ring.

I definitely expected more after watching her on NXT and with the way she debuted on the main roster.

But now she's expendable. Sasha, Charlotte, Becky, Nikki, Nattie all are more significant than she is. And with Nia Jax developing, Askua and Ember Moon coming to the main roster, there's no real room for Paige.

Nobody will really miss her when she's gone.

I don't really blame her for not doing much after the huge reaction to her debut.

I mean what the women's division is now is leaps and bounds better than it was two years ago when it was her, AJ with 1 foot out the door, and the Bella's. That was it.

Plus they could figure out if she was a face, heel, or tweener and treat her accordingly.

Can't tell if she was debuting now with all the other girls, it wouldn't make an already pretty deep roster even better.

One thing I agree with is the immaturity. What she was in the ring is a far cry from the little brat she was outside of it.

Horsewomen were not around longer than Paige, Bellas also came back just for the reality show.

Paige was given the sun, moons and stars right off the bat and didn't do anything with it. Her and AJ were supposed to usher in a new era but even made pseudo lesbianism boring

No it wasn't, theres a ratings thread that confirms it.

Rewriting history, isn't going to make you right and Paige not being a failure.
