From the WWE Rumor Mill: Paige is in Houston for the Raw after Survivor Series

What's the story?

PWInsider have reported that former WWE Diva's Champion Paige is in Houston where Monday Night Raw will take place tonight. At the time of this writing, it is unknown if the WWE will use Paige on television tonight.

In case you didn't know...

Paige was last seen on WWE television on the June 27th edition of Monday Night Raw in 2016 where she won a tag team match with Sasha Banks where they defeated Charlotte Flair and Dana Brooke.

Neck surgery has kept her out of action for nearly a year and a half, but the WWE medical staff cleared her to return to the ring a few weeks ago.

The heart of the matter

Sportskeeda reported on a similar story last week, where Paige was in Atlanta for Monday Night Raw. The original plan was to put her in the qualifying match for the final spot on Team Raw, but as we reported, she wasn't used.

The rumoured reason was that management wasn't happy that she was posting on social media over the weekend as they wanted to make her return a surprise, so they kept her off television last week.

What's next?

The Raw after Survivor Series happens tonight from the same location, Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. At the time of this writing, there is not a Raw-branded pay-per-view before the Royal Rumble, but one could be announced tonight.

Author's take

Hopefully she stays off of social media today so they can use her on Monday Night Raw tonight because Paige adds so much to the women's division with her unique style and talent.

The time she was away was pretty turbulent with the WWE after the two Wellness Policy violations and her ex-boyfriend Alberto El Patron ripping the company. Hopefully the two sides can mend fences and Paige will continue her career in the WWE.
