Former WWE Star Kayla Braxton Demands Trump's Removal from Hall of Fame

Although numerous fans go to the ring to escape from real life, professional wrestling has never been truly neutral — just look at WWE's connection with the current United States President, Donald Trump. The company's long-standing relationship with this controversial figure has faced intense examination over the years, and now former backstage interviewer, Kayla Becker (previously known as Kayla Braxton), has entered the discussion.

Although Becker, according to her own statements, encountered difficulties after her political comments during her tenure at WWE, this has not prevented the broadcaster from expressing her opinions freely. Becker recently used Instagram Stories to state that Trump should be officially removed from the WWE Hall of Fame after the release of the Epstein files, which Braxton presented as proof of Trump's general harmful nature.

I believe they should publicly remove [Trump's] from the Hall of Fame," Braxton stated in her now-removed article. "I think that would be one of the most impressive, like, leadership moves [WWE] could possibly make.

Becker encountered significant criticism after making her statements, which she responded to in an Instagram Story post released early Friday morning. Even though she has been a well-known public personality for many years, Becker was taken aback by the extent of harshness she received from her followers.

"I've never been given so many harsh names in such a brief span!" Becker chuckled.

Despite the Internet's response, Becker remained firm. She referenced her family's history with sexual assault as a key influence behind her strong beliefs about Trump's character, both from the WWE Hall of Fame and from the White House.

Trump was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013, introduced by his long-time friend and fellow contentious personality, Vince McMahon. Interestingly,Trump's Pro Football Hall of Fame class, Mick Foley, is among themost notable namesto distance oneself from WWE due to their connections with the President.
