We're going to do something a bit different this week. For the first time, we're adding a "bonus" point based on our exclusive by Gary Cassidy for Sportskeeda.

Gary asked Triple H about the situation with Paige and Edge returning amidst all the rumors and what The Game said only added fuel to the fire of speculation:

Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?

When you're talking about people as talented as Edge and Paige, who wouldn't want them to return? I'm a fan, just like everyone else, and, yeah, I'd love to see them step into the ring and compete. More importantly than that, though, I'd like to see them live long and healthy lives.

He mentioned it being a "personal choice" for them but was quick to retract his statement:

So, with both of them, those would be personal choice for them... No, I shouldn't say that. Personal choice would be a part of it, then medical choice for the other part. WWE is at a different level. There is no other level, almost, from a medical oversight standpoint.

He went on to explain the circumstances from WWE's perspective:

So, for us, there are certain perimeters. If we believe it's not in your best interest, we put the human being first, and their long-term health. Life goes on for a long time after this ends. Especially now. The style and the physicality has increased dramatically, so if you get to a point where we're telling you, medically, "Not in your best interest," you can do a lot of things to get back to that.

He concluded by saying that should the medical team clear both of them, they would welcome them back:

If you do, maybe it's an option but it's a medical decision. If our medical experts say that they believe this person has done whatever to rehab their situation, and there are multiple situations, they've done all of that and are safe to get back into the ring, then we allow it.
