MSL also said that WWE threatened Paige:

“A lot of people speculated if this was the reason [WWE] split them up in the draft and that’s definitely what happened. The company did not want them together. They split them up in the draft by design and they threatened to fire Paige if she didn’t break up with Del Rio.”

A company cannot tell you to break up with your boyfriend. That has to be illegal. It sure would be here. WWE has some nerve to interfere in it's employees personal lives.

I'd sue the fuck out of them, on basis of discrimination and illegal practises.

I mean: Paige is British, Del Rio is Mexican. And the American Bosses do not want them together. That has to, at least, fall into the Discrimination part ?

Quote :

According to backstage sources, Triple H is said to be behind the heat on Alberto Del Rio, telling Vince McMahon WWE should part ways with the Mexican Superstar because he parties too much and is a bad influence on Paige.” If this rumor does turn out to be true, it gives credence to the rumor that Paige and Del Rio being split up in the draft was due to Triple H not wanting the two to continue their relationship with each other and was going to make it as hard as possible to do just that.

Just have a no dating coworkers rule already, jeez.

....what? Where do you get that from?

Don't believe these rumors, it's completely exaggerated and makes it seem like WWE had this huge plot to bring that relationship down when it's probably not that big a deal.

This is the same company who was petty enough to fire a guy on his wedding day, so I get why people would believe they'd do this tbh.

Really? Damn this company got no chill.

They're foreign. They were split without consent, in order to force them to make decisions, with "alleged" threatens of losing their jobs. THat, in itself, is discrimination: not because of their nationality (though that can be used at their favour, considering Miz and Marise are a couple and they're not gtting that treatment), because several other couples in the Lockerroom were allowed to remain together (that Uso guy and Naomi(?) ), Miz and Marise, Rusev and Lana.

I don't know how Murrica works though, because some of the laws regarding employees' rights are fucked up and completely backward, but THIS would be an issue that would automatically warrant the employees to sue the employers.

"Split without consent"...they were drafted onto different shows...I'm pretty sure they have no say in what roster they go on because they're dating. Again, where are you getting that there's discrimination based on their nationalities? There is none and trying to make it a racial issue because they weren't consulted on which brand they wanted to go to (which...WWE never had to do in the first place) is just grasping at straws.

So:
Splitting ADR and Paige is "ok" because "it's draft! They can't say yes or no! >:C !"
Yet they kept all the other couples together? OKay.
Funny enough they only did that to one couple where the guy said he was going to leave the company. Interesting timing too hmm?

Miz and Maryse had to be kept together because Maryse is only there to be Miz's manager. Same with Rusev and Lana. Their characters, regardless of relationship status, go together right now. Splitting them would be worse than splitting a tag team. From what I understand, Carmella is dating Big Cass, but they're on different shows. Is that also discrimination?

I believe the rumors, but I don't think they'd outright SAY to Paige that she has to break up with him. They're smarter than that.

Same. I definitely believe it after they tried to split Lana and Rusev using the Ziggler storyline.

Actually it is, considering most / all other couples were around to remain in the same show. So yeah, it can be seen as discrimination.
And again, it wouldn't be the first WWE would pull that thing off and it definitely won't be the last.

Two couples were split. Del Rio/Paige and Carmella/Cass. Three, if you include Alexa being brought to the main roster. Four were kept together and, of those four, two of them are paired together on screen, meaning it'd make no sense to split them.

WWE doesn't need to book its roster according to whatever relationships they have with each other. Some couples being kept on the same show doesn't mean other couples being split happened because of discrimination. I don't doubt Paige was told she'd be fired if she didn't break up with Del Rio. That /may/ have been due to discrimination, but I believe that they thought Del Rio was a bad influence for her. That still doesn't give them the right to do that, though.

But calling Cass and Carmella being split up discrimination? No. WWE's not trying to treat them unfairly by splitting them up. Their relationship status, unless it becomes an on-screen thing like Miz/Maryse or Rusev/Lana, has nothing to do with their spots in WWE, which is their career.

She shoulda listened to Triple H

Well it was her mistake to make.
