Let’s look at the facts here. Paige won the Divas Championship on her debut and became the youngest ever female superstar to do so. Moreover, she was also the only wrestler to hold both the Divas Championship, and NXT Women’s Championship at the same time.
Alberto Del Rio made a very high profile return last year, defeating John Cena for the U.S. Championship.
Since then, both of these sports entertainers have slid down the totem pole. While many have questioned their suspension, against Lesnar’s non-suspension; they are not very valuable to the company either.
The suspension may be a convenient way of letting them go, in a world where new and more ‘over’ sports entertainers have taken their place. Paige lost her spot to the Four Horsewomen, and Del Rio lost his to the many brand new singles superstars on Smackdown.
The suspension could be WWE’s way of asking them to leave, to make way for new talent.
