10 Times WWE Wrestlers Shot On The Fans

Dave Meltzer's star rating system is considered the benchmark, he remains the preeminent wrestling journalist, he has been involved in wrestling media for decades, and hosts an influential podcast.

Shortly after Royce moved to the main roster, Meltzer was discussing her performance when he let fly with this: "she doesn’t stand out to me, when she was in NXT she did. She was a lot lighter.” Many commenters agreed with Meltzer on his various social media feeds.

But.

Many more slammed him and anyone who agreed with him, including Peyton herself, who fired back on Twitter: "so what would you have me do Dave... starve myself? This is how nightmares for young women start. The females in your life must be proud."

Renee Young, always one to speak her mind, chimed in as well: "what a true piece of sweltering hot garbage...Let’s set better examples"

To Meltzer's credit, he quickly apologized and conceded he had been wrong. He also asked his fans not to argue the point and that what he said could not be defended.

Score a point for Peyton as a kickass role model for young female fans.
