No one in the entertainment business is prone to being dragged by the fans that cheer for them. Fans turn on stars as soon as they don’t get what they want. Some stars go on the defensive, apologizing and promising the fans that it will get better in the future. Some let their actions speak louder than the hate, something that Triple H has been doing all along while running the creative side of WWE recently.
But then there are a few stars who go on the offensive. Tearing down the haters who question them, proving their skills and abilities in the ring and on the internet. Former WWE Women’s champion just took that route when the hate was piling up against her following her SummerSlam match.
