Speaking to the media in the UK ahead of NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II, Triple H commented on the potential returns of Edge and Paige to in-ring competition. Neither has reportedly been cleared for competition, but there is speculation surrounding their potential returns at the WWE Royal Rumble.
Triple H stated that their health comes first, mentioning that "Edge has kids, Paige, maybe, she probably has some she doesn't know of." The comment was meant as a joke, but Paige, Renee Young, and Nikki Bella didn't seem to be laughing.
Even my boss jokes about me.. no wonder you guys still do it too. https://t.co/dOmZAiwvyX

Big love to Paige. She’s been to hell and back but still some people wanna make jokes. We need (and she deserves) real change. https://t.co/vqdkWNyLMa

We will never see the true change in equality if we just see them as storylines. Change in a company starts from the top. Our leaders help set the example. For us women we need all the help we can get. Help with respect from our co workers and fans. We are all one. One love. N
