Paige opens up on fans targeting her over Triple H's joke

WWE Backstage panellist and former WWE Diva Paige recently sat down with Seconds Out and discussed a bunch of topics, including her contribution towards the Women's Revolution. Paige opened up on how it's a bittersweet feeling to sit back and see everyone wrestle, but feel proud of them at the same time.

Paige also spoke about the recent controversy surrounding a joke that WWE EVP Triple H made, that was directed towards her.

"With a recent joke that was made, I had an influx of people who were just being really mean to me. It's hard to deal with, especially as a woman. A lot of the time, they're degrading me and making me feel like I'm not a woman and that I'm disgusting. Some days it's hard, and then some days I'm just like f**k you."

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
