There have been numerous reasons for Saraya, aka Paige, to get into the limelight. Amongst them, the most highlighted one was the news of her s*x tape leak. While it compelled many hearts to shower love upon her, many didn’t leave any opportunity to take a shot at the former WWE Divas Champion.
One unexpected man to dig his hands into this mud was Triple H. ‘The Game’ was in an interview where he spoke about the possibility of Edge returning to WWE after his first retirement. Back then, both Edge and Paige had been sidelined for their neck injuries. He said that he would love to see them back but only if they were in a healthy state.
Triple H didn’t fail to consider all possibilities for their return. “Edge has kids, you know, Paige – she probably has some she doesn’t know of,” he said, initiating a wave of laughter among all the people present in the room. His words did not go kindly with many and the WWE’s CCO received much backlash from fans and stars alike.
I’ve reached out to @RealPaigeWWE to apologize. I made a terrible joke and I’m sorry if it offended her or anyone else.

HHH later issued an apology to Paige publicly on X. “I’ve reached out to @RealPaigeWWE to apologize. I made a terrible joke and I’m sorry if it offended her or anyone else,” he wrote. While the damage had already been done, he tried his best to repair the cracks.
How did Saraya fka Paige react to the comment made by Triple H?
After Triple H made the sl*t shaming comments on Paige, it was obvious that she was highly upset with it. In a now-deleted tweet, she wrote, “Even my boss jokes about me.. no wonder you guys still do it too.” In a conversation later, she explained what ran through her mind after his comments.
Just interviewed @RealPaigeWWE on the @btsportwwe bus, and I asked about THAT joke from Triple H.

“Obviously, I was a little bit perplexed and a little taken back because he’s someone that I truly look up to. He’s always been very respectful,” she said. Paige was clearly not okay with somebody joking about the leaked clips, especially someone like Triple H.
Saraya had already heard a lot of the same from her fans and haters on her social media. She also claimed that after Triple H took a step forward to apologise for the remarks, she hoped to sort things out with her boss. It was indeed heartbreaking to see people make jokes about the things she has been battling hard to get over.
