Backstage News on The New Day Potentially Being Kept Off WWE TV Following Paige Hack

March 18, 2017

As noted, WWE star Paige was hacked recently and sexually explicit photos and videos were leaked online.

One of the videos features Paige with current WWE star Xavier Woods and former WWE star Brad Maddox.

According to Sportskeeda, former WWE writer Brian Maxwell Mann spoke out on Twitter and weighed-in on the situation, speculating WWE might keep New Day off TV, or in backstage segments only, before they host WrestleManaia 33 in Orlando:

the precedent was set with Seth – talent shouldn’t be punished for stolen content. ignore the leaks and move on. https://t.co/xVX5OB71Du

As for the futures of Woods and Paige in WWE, because the company is publicly traded, and Linda McMahon currently holds a position in the Trump Administration, it’s possible there could be ramifications. However, because Paige did not wilfully leak the photos and videos, and she was a victim of a hacking, it’s possible WWE will take no action against her. As of this writing, WWE has not issued an official statement on the matter.
