Ricky Knight, longtime wrestler and promoter of WAW in Great Britain as well as the father of WWE star Paige, took to Facebook to comment on today's WWE announcement that she was suspended for 60 days, making it clear that the former WWE Divas champion's WWE Wellness Policy failure was related to her receiving a prescription for painkillers to assist with her neck issues and clarified that Paige did not fail a drug test.
Knight's complete statement as they were published on his Facebook page: "ok here we go again yes i know about my daughters suspended once again she has not failed a drugs test. My daughter has had a long term neck injury which imo has not been dealt with. i have ask my daughter to return to UK For help with this injury as help and direction in the USA Has not been forthcoming imo. She has been in pain and out of in ring action for a fair while now and has been prescribed pain killers which apparently is against the wellness program. i feel my daughter has been let down big time in the USA and the proper care and advice needed in the position she has been in has not happened to say i am pissed off with the situation is an understatement, this is my statement i am not open to questions thank you for your cooperation."
Saraya Knight, Paige's mother, responded to the situation, commenting, "I wish she [Paige] would come home...." and then followed up writing, "sometimes letting out a scream just doesn't sound loud enough, banging your head against a wall doesn't reach the spot, closing down emotionally causes inner demons to surface, asking for help creates rumours, being in a sea of people but being alone, sometimes life just sucks..."
If Ricky Knight's account of the situation is correct, that would be the second time Paige has been suspended without actually failing a drug test.
