WWE is denying claims by Paige (and her family) that her latest wellness policy violation was triggered by a legal painkiller she had a prescription for. In a statement issued to the NY Post regarding what caused her latest suspension, a WWE spokesperson said:
“Saraya-Jade Bevis tested positive for an illegal substance, not a prescription drug. In addition, WWE is providing world-class medical care for her in-ring injury.”
This comes after several members of her family posted messages on Facebook claiming she was suspended after testing positive for a legal painkiller, which she has a prescription for. Shortly after WWE announced her suspension, the 24-year-old Superstar tweeted:
Same shit different day. Kids..Please don't get prescriptions or doctors notes. Not acceptable.
