Rumors emerged on Tuesday evening that an arrest warrant had been issued for WWE star Paige — real name Saraya Bevis — following an domestic incident a few weeks ago between her and her boyfriend Alberto Del Rio.
However, Tufayel Ahmed of Newsweek and Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet have both reported that those rumors are false, and only that the Orlando Police Department has "submitted info" on the case to the State Attorney for a decision.

The original article about this cited Orlando PD, who just told me they have no idea if the State Attorney's office has made a decision.

As for the alleged altercation at the Orlando airport, Del Rio has since been eliminated as a suspect following the police investigation. Paige still remains a suspect, though, and it will be up to the State Attorney to determine how the case will proceed.
Paige has been off WWE television for over a year at this point, with a suspension and recovery from an injury being the main culprits as to why.
