10 Times Wrestlers Went Too Far
5. Triple H's 'Kids" Comment Towards Paige
With the highly influential women's wrestling figure that is Paige finally wandering out of WWE's doors in July 2022, it's worth remembering just how well respected the former Diva's Champion and all-round star always was when signed to Vinnie Mac's empire.
Except for those occasions when the perfect opportunity arose to position the worker forced to retire due to a tragic neck injury as the punchline to a rather pathetic joke, that is.
This precise scenario presented itself to then-leader of NXT Triple H during a visit to the UK to promote January 2020's NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II, and Trips simply could not help himself in stating that "...I would like to see them live long, healthy lives. You know, Edge has kids. Paige, maybe, she probably has some she doesn't know of," in response to questions over the possibility of an eventual in-ring comeback for both stars.
Quickly sensing how much of a d*ck*sh comment this was, especially from a star in Trips' senior position, "The Game" would apologise to Paige for his "terrible joke".
But the fact this childish act opened the door for another wave of needless abuse towards "The Anti-Diva" after an already tough few years in the public eye sits as another reminder as to why Paige is probably better off elsewhere...
