It was heartbreaking to watch former Divas Champion Paige announce her retirement from the ring due to injuries earlier this year, but she has excelled in the SmackDown General Manager role over the past few months. A report online recently claimed that Paige has actually been cleared to come back, but she chooses to remain away from active competition. According to PWInsider, the original comments from their Elite Audio show were misinterpreted. It was noted on the show that Paige could leave WWE and return to the ring elsewhere if she wanted to do so, but she and WWE officials are please with her SmackDown GM stint so far. Paige herself has denied that WWE has cleared her to return as well.
Nope. I’m not. At all. One more knock to my neck could result in paralysis. Don’t read “facts” on the internet. As much as I want that to be true it’s 100% not. https://t.co/9QdJVOJi7y

As seen on SmackDown last night, Daniel Bryan was able to defeat AJ Styles to capture the WWE Championship. The huge title win ended a lengthy run that Styles had with the championship, but surprisingly, Bryan attacked Styles after the match was already over. Styles had been set to team up with Charlotte Flair for the Mixed Match Challenge later in the evening, but WWE decided to give Charlotte a new tag team partner for the show due to injuries that Styles received during Bryan’s sudden attack. During the Mixed Match Challenge, none other than Jeff Hardy was revealed as Flair’s brand new partner. Hardy and Flair got the win in their match, and they now move closer to entering the finals at WWE’s TLC event in December.

Bray Wyatt has remained off of WWE programming almost entirely ever since he partnership with Matt Hardy came to an abrupt end earlier this year due to the latter’s retirement from the business. WWE has reportedly been working on ways to reintroduce the former WWE Champion to television, but Wyatt still remains inactive as of right now. However, Wyatt has been posting some very interesting messages on social media lately, and he continues to do so with some of the tweets that he has put up recently. It is still unknown when Bray will be back on Raw or SmackDown as of right now, but hopefully Wyatt can start appearing on television again with some refreshing tweaks made to his character as quickly as possible.
Reluctant to say the least to send a human of this caliber into the general population. But at this point I am only a servant. And this is God’s will.
Dr. Mercy
