It’s been a rough month for Paige, and many were surprised to see her receive yet another suspension thanks to the WWE wellness policy, her second in the past few months. Paige’s loved ones aren’t taking the suspension lying down, though.

Reports had surfaced that the reason she was being kept off WWE television was not due to any heat backstage, but rather multiple sustained injuries that she had received before her first suspension in August. The injuries are to her back and neck, and recently she shared a message on Twitter that gave the impression she was getting multiple consultations on the best way to approach her needed surgeries.
After word came out that Paige, real name Saraya-Jade Bevis, was suspended for the second time, this one for 60 days, family and friends came out in support of the wrestler, including her brothers Zak and Roy, who are known in wrestling circles as the UK Hooligans Zak Zodiac and Zebra Kid. Zak posted a message on Facebook with his view of the situation.
“OK let’s make this public shall we….My sister is waiting for a major Surgery on her neck which potentially could finish her wrestling career. She has gone private and went to a different Dr, who is amazing I’ll add. He gave her PRESCRIPTION pain killers to ease the pain that she’s in 24/7 and I have witnessed. They’ve not excepted this and this leads to yet another suspension. Absolute bullshit.”
Roy shared his thoughts on Facebook as well, saying “Cause she took pain killers what aren’t on the well being policy,,her necked fooked at 24 be nice if they worried about her more,feel free to share”
Paige is currently under contract with the WWE until 2019, and the earliest Paige could return to action for them is sometime early next year if she opts for surgery that is. Some feel that her family is angling for a release from the company, but neither side has commented on her contract specifically.
“Same s*** different day.” Paige tweeted.”Kids..Please don’t get prescriptions or doctors notes. Not acceptable,” she wrote. “Rules apply depending on your status.”
