WWE Superstar Paige issued a statement via social media this week regarding rumors of her issues with WWE.

According to Paige, rumors of her attempting to get out of her contract so she could leave the company, the same way her boyfriend, Alberto Del Rio, did are untrue.

"First, I'd like to thank all my fans for their love and support the last few weeks. Let me begin by saying that the rumors I'm leaving the WWE are completely false," wrote Paige. "I certainly look forward to returning back to action at some point, once my injury is treated and on a healthy return."

Paige continued, addressing her suspension and violation of the WWE Wellness Policy, claiming she doesn't feel she did anything overly wrong.

"Although I was disappointed by my suspension, I respect the WWE's Wellness Policy. However, let me be clear that I was not suspended for failing a drug test, it was merely a procedural issue. I took the test, I passed it. I arranged said test to happen after I wasn't at my home when Aegis contacted me. So I drove 200 miles to do it. Unfortunately I didn't do it in time, according to Aegis. Once again, thank you for all the love and support!"

As noted, things haven't been going Paige's way regarding her rumored legal battle with World Wrestling Entertainment.

Front Row Brian initially reported the news that Paige had retained legal representation to assist her in getting out of her contract with WWE, which reportedly runs through 2019. On Tuesday, he returned with an update that stated WWE was standing their ground in an attempt to avoid similar situations playing out with other talents in the future.

On Wednesday, PWInsider.com provided an unexpected update, as they are reporting that Paige and WWE actually resolved their issues at some point in the past couple of days. Furthermore, they are claiming Paige will make her WWE television return at next week's edition of RAW, as well as the non-televised RAW live events scheduled for the same week.

Paige has been on the sidelines serving her mandatory 30-day suspension for the past few weeks for violating WWE's Wellness Policy. Her boyfriend, Alberto Del Rio, also violated the policy and earned himself a 30-day suspension as well, however unlike the former WWE Divas Champion and Total Divas cast-member, he had a clause in his contract that allowed him to part ways with the company.

No more ADR in the WWE = Paige is back on the roster lol.

Not again! f**k! Too many Alexa Bliss photos. I got super distracted.

I want him to beat the record. I've never liked Ric Flair.

I want he and HHH to beat it. Flair was always so overrated and his daughter is better in the ring than he ever was.

Just wait until Cena and Nikki Bella's love child grows up to become the next 16-time WWE Universal/Smackdown/World Heavyweight/Hardcore champion.

Just you wait. That kid will team up with the future kid of Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella to form The World's Greatest Tag Team...2.0. (And American Alpha doesnt count!)

Flair is the man. Few people ever got over so well as a face and as a heel, with different promotions too, as well as having a long career and rarely missing time. Great wrestler and great psychology. Watch his match against HHH, or his match against HBK at WM, even at 55+ he was still putting on great matches. Sure he took Buddy Rogers gimmick, but he made that character a thousand times better and nobody did promos like him back in the day.

Now if you want to talk about overrated, Hogan is your man

But you cant deny what Hogan brought to this business. There is no WWF without Hogan.

Of course not. Great entertainer just like Cena and I was a fan as a kid, but not anymore.
