The backstage environment and all the politics involved can really throw a monkey wrench in even the most certain plans.
While she's been away from action, Paige has taken part in some activities which could have given WWE a black eye. Although Paige was the victim in a couple of those unfortunate circumstances, those backstage could see differently.
After all, she was on camera grinning away while Alberto El Patron said he wanted to fight Triple H, while calling him some pretty nasty names. In the end, Paige's relationship might hurt her when it comes to WWE backstage politics.
If Paige came back to WWE and had to eat crow for a while it might not be too big of a surprise. She could be used to put people over who need the push. After all, she's a great performer and can make people look good.
WWE might be bringing her back in order to help elevate other workers. Hopefully, she isn't relegated to enhancement talent status but it wouldn't be too shocking if she took a few losses during her comeback.
