WWE: Paige suspended for second wellness violation

[Emperoreddy]

Paige's brothers also commented.

Said she is in line to get potentially career ending neck surgery, she is in constant pain, and an outside doctor prescribed her pain killers not on WWE's wellness policy list.

Also implied the company is just out to get her.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Well if she's smart she won't try to leave until she gets surgery so she at least gets paid while she's out.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The implication seems to be that the WWE doctor wants a different course of treatment then her private doctor.

Which is why I never understood the position some people have about falling in line with WWE doctors. There's a huge conflict of interest for WWE doctors and they can't be trusted on their own. These guys should ALWAYS go to their own doctor.

 

[Kimi]

The entire point of the rule with doctors is to stop the wrestlers from getting multiple prescriptions for drugs.

In the past, wrestlers have killed themselves by doing so and many more have had problems with addiction. This is why the rule is in place, and why I will always support it. I don't like people being dead.


No one is stopping anyone going to outside doctors, just any drugs given must be cleared by the WWE doctors. This is a more than reasonable demand given history.

Ya it is really hard to ignore the tragically short lifespan for wrestlers, and the issues with drug abuse that plays into that.

WWE may very well be doing some sleazy business here with Paige, but I find it hard to be against this policy overall considering the history with wrestlers.

I support the idea but I don't support WWE's way of handling it because there is still a massive conflict of interest on their part. There has to be a lot more of an independent influence on their medical policies than there is.

WWE responded to Paige and her family:

“Saraya-Jade Bevis tested positive for an illegal substance, not a prescription drug,” WWE’s statement to The Post read. “In addition, WWE is providing world-class medical care for her in-ring injury.”

 

[Emperoreddy]

Could she be juicing as part of rehab?

 

[Kimi]

Could she be juicing as part of rehab?

That would then be a prescription drug.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

That would then be a prescription drug.

As long as WWE approved it though, right?

 

[Kimi]

As long as WWE approved it though, right?

As long as you've gotten something from a doctor it's legal.

The WWE and Wellness Policy have nothing to do with it being illegal or not.

 

[Emperoreddy]

That would then be a prescription drug.

Unless she got it under the table

 

[Deen]

I still think she might be doing a ton of molly.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Okay. So. Something recreational. Not surprising.

 

[Sarcastic]

What's Chapter doing in the Impact Zone?

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

I still think she might be doing a ton of molly.

Even as a party girl i don't think shes that stupid
she was doing just fine before her "career threatening" neck injury

 

[GKJ]

One of the real issues here is a lack of responsibility. Coming off of the first suspension she should be attached to the hip with whoever is the contact at WWE

 

[Sens]

I kind of hope the second suspension is because she smoked marijuana

 

[Bubba Thudd]

I kind of hope the second suspension is because she smoked marijuana

Wouldn't that be legal, too, if prescribed by a doctor?

 

[Kimi]

It won't be. That is only a fine, unless it's synthetic.

You never trust a company doctor, I know from first hand experience.

As for the prescriptions MCG, not all painkillers are able to be written from you primary Dr. The stuff I was given for after my back surgery 2 weeks ago only certain people can write the script.

 

[Kimi]

Unless she got it under the table

Then it would be illegal.

The legality is entirely dependent on the doctor giving you a prescription or not.

Same here. If they need to have a prescription from another doctor approved by one of the WWE doctors, so be it. If someone wants to go to their own doctor for treatment the should be allowed to, but they should IMO also be consulting with WWE docs as well so they are also aware of the treatment.

As has been said WWE has done some shady things here but I would say with the way the wellness policy is laid out they are in the right.

Do they maybe need to just outright say what the wellness violations are for? I think that would be some sort of breach of privacy but with these last few violation 'speaking out against' the WWE maybe they just need to go ahead and say it.

So and so received a wellness violation because of this.
