Former broadcaster calls for public revocation following Epstein file revelations
Summary
– Kayla Braxton demands WWE revoke Donald Trump’s Hall of Fame status
– Comments follow the public release of the Epstein files
– Jesse Ventura also criticizes Trump’s induction
Kayla Braxton is no longer holding back when it comes to Donald Trump’s place in WWE history.
The former WWE broadcaster took to social media on February 19, 2026, urging the company to strip Trump of his Hall of Fame recognition. During her time with WWE, Braxton said she avoided speaking about political matters to stay aligned with the company’s expectations. Now free from those restrictions, she believes the company must take a firm stance.
Braxton specifically pointed to the release of the Epstein files as the tipping point. She argued that WWE should publicly revoke Trump’s Hall of Fame status and make a clear statement about its leadership and values. According to her, a decisive move would send a powerful message both inside and outside the wrestling world.
Donald Trump entered the Celebrity Wing of the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013. His induction followed multiple WrestleMania appearances and his role in the “Battle of the Billionaires” storyline at WrestleMania 23, a high-profile angle that drew mainstream attention.
Braxton is not alone in her criticism. WWE Hall of Famer Jesse “The Body” Ventura has also questioned Trump’s inclusion. Ventura suggested the induction was tied to business arrangements related to venue deals for WrestleMania events and expressed frustration that accomplished wrestling figures remain unrecognized.
Debate surrounding Trump’s Hall of Fame status has intensified as more voices speak out. Whether WWE chooses to address the growing criticism remains to be seen, but the conversation has clearly moved beyond the ring.
