It was big news this past week after Alberto Del Rio was officially released by the WWE. It is being rumored that his girlfriend and WWE star Paige could be joining him very soon. The couple were both recently suspended by the WWE for violating the wellness policy on the same day in August.
On a recent episode of the Ric Flair Show, the Nature Boy commented on the couples’ present situation.
Flair on the rumors that Paige could be leaving the WWE:
“I think Paige is a lovely girl and has worked well and done well. Sometimes when you are young you make decisions that aren’t good for your future. Fortunately, my decisions that were bad were all domestic (laughs) and not about my career. A few bad wives and not too many bad wrestling decisions” Source: The Ric Flair Show).
Flair continued, addressing Alberto Del Rio’s recent departure:
“I am a big fan of Del Rio, I think he is a hell of a hand. I think Paige is an excellent performer. I just hope they take a long look. Del Rio can make a living anywhere as we know, he’s very popular. I thought he added a lot to the roster but I don’t think he was happy with positioning. That happens. I think it is very important to understand that if you don’t have an ego in this business you’re not going anywhere. You’re either going to be complacent and happy with your position or your going to be upset and talk about it” (Source: The Ric Flair Show).
