Eh, I don't think she's exactly wrong in saying that they choose who gets popped depending on their "status". I think you'd have to be pretty naive/blind to disagree with that. Her pointing it out is a little weird, but she's not wrong. Then how do you explain Roman Reigns getting popped while in the middle of one of the biggest pushes? I don't think Roman is a big enough star to protect. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few people "above the law" like Cena, HHH and Brock though.

'Berto's probably singing this ATM:
And I don't buy the whole "She's only young thing!" She's 2 years older than me, and I can guarantee you I wouldn't be f***ing around with drugs and posting whiny things on social media if I did get popped for something that was legit if I had a gig with WWE. I'd barely f***ing drink just in case I got on someone's bad side.

Those other three you mentioned aren't even full time wrestlers, somewhat in Cenas case.

Reigns is/was management's golden boy being pushed over absolutely everyone regardless of crowd sentiment or how well he was drawing.

Yeah I don't think any full timer is too big to get suspended now off the top of my head. I don't know who Paige is referring to. Just saying that I don't doubt they'd turn a blind eye to SOME people if they really wanted to.

To the people who say "Roman isn't big enough to be protected" how do you know that? Don't be surprised to find out he was hit with a violation 3 times and they said "well f*** it we'll let one fly" and there we go. We have no idea of knowing.

Whether it hurt him long term or not isnt the point. The argument was some ppl are treated differently and that is disputed by the Roman suspension.

Reigns is/was management's golden boy being pushed over absolutely everyone regardless of crowd sentiment or how well he was drawing. Yeah but they were TRYING to make him a huge star but it wasn't working. He wasn't there yet. If anything they probably took the chance to suspend him so they could take time to "reboot" him or whatever. If he was already over like the second coming of Rock/Austin then yeah they might have swept it under the rug.

Brock & HHH are on part time performer contracts so aren't subject to Wellness tests. I don't know if Cena is still on a full time contract now that he is doing more outside projects.

He's not a rocky or Austin. No one is. People can scream "failed push" but his suspension was all over and reported on ESPN and other news sites.

I haven't looked at the policy for a while. After 2 failures do they still offer rehab or as this seems to be for missing paperwork is that a different thing?

Paige (and Emma) should be right up there with the likes of the 4 Horse Women and dominating the new Women's scene. It's a shame that her personal demons have prevented that. I hope she take s few years off to unwind, grow up, and come back to the WWE motivated and clean.

She wants out. For all we know she probably asked for her release but the McMahons being the McMhahons don't wanna. This is likely. Her contract issues were getting tossed around not too long ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was her attempt at gaming the system.

FAN with the passive aggressive posts towards Paige and Del Rio without knowing the situation on cue. SMH bros -.- In all fairness, this is the wrestling industry. Even though the industry has cleaned up significantly, Paige as well as Del Rio come from wrestling families and likely picked up on habit from their previous generation. We don't know the whole story, true, but we have sadly seen these type of stories unfold many times. I hope they both get help.
