WWE suspends Alberto Del Rio, Paige after Lesnar fiasco; relationship, disputes real reasons?

A pair of curiously timed suspensions under the WWE's Wellness Policy were announced Wednesday: Alberto Del Rio (real name Jose Rodriguez) and Paige (real name Saraya-Jade Bevis) were each suspended for 30 days for a first violation of the policy.

The Wellness Policy typically applies to performance-enhancing drugs or recreational drugs, but WWE never offers specific reasons for suspensions, so it's not known exactly why the two were issued bans. It's worth noting, however, that the two are dating in real life and have been critical of the company.

The timing is also curious because the announcement was made shortly after WWE was publicly embarrassed by Brock Lesnar failing a pair of USADA drug tests.
