WWE News: Paige comments on the negative reaction to the Donald Trump calendar in a recent picture
What’s the story?
Paige recently posted a photo on her social media account, that showed herself holding AJ Lee’s recently published book, and posing with her fiancee Alberto El Patron. However, a Donald Trump-themed calendar in the background of said photograph caught the attention of fans online, which in turn led to them accusing Paige of being a Trump supporter.
In case you didn’t know...
Paige (real name; Saraya-Jade Bevis) has been out of action owing to injuries since 2016 and was recently embroiled in an online scandal, wherein her private videos and pics were leaked on the internet without her permission.
The 24-year old former WWE Divas champion has reportedly been recovering from the fiasco, besides resuming her social media activities once again in the past few days.
The heart of the matter
Paige, who is presently engaged to Mexican pro-wrestler Alberto El Patron (ex-WWE Superstar Alberto Del Rio), surprised her fans when she posted the aforementioned photograph with the Trump calendar in its background, owing to the fact that the US President-elect has a history of openly criticising the Latino community and Mexicans in particular.

After facing the ire of angry netizens on the interwebs, Paige reverted back, assuring them that she isn’t a Trump-supporter, besides stating that it’s actually an anti-Trump calendar to count down the days till the POTUS is out of office.
The former WWE Divas champion stated that it’s solely aimed at making fun and asked the keyboard “dummies” to relax.
What’s next?
Paige was supposed to make her in-ring return to WWE this year after rehabbing her injury, however, her recent internet controversy seems to have pushed back her comeback for a few months at the very least. Meanwhile, her better half, Alberto El Patron is presently signed to Impact Wrestling and has stated that he has no intentions of coming back to the WWE.
Author’s take
Now, I neither condone nor prohibit anyone on the basis of their political views. But the same can’t be said for some of our resident keyboard warriors who furiously hammer away at their digital typewriters, hurling accusations left, right and centre.
Let’s just respect the views of a fellow human being, in this case, Paige, and not jump all over her case because she supports Trump or Hillary or Kane Glenn Jacobs. As for the anti-Trump brigade out there, take it easy fellas- Paige has repeatedly asserted that she hates The Donald. Peace.
