Former SmackDown General Manager Paige was recently involved in a Twitter exchange over a situation that happened at the UFC 232 event in Inglewood, California.
Paige and her boyfriend were in attendance at the event when evidently, someone witnessed a fan asking for an autograph That person was apparently told no, which led to the witness taking her case to social media.
Though the original Tweet has since been deleted, screenshots of it still exist online.
That Tweet started a chain reaction and the user in question was forced to answer for herself to one fan after another. She did relent and admit that Paige was not the one to refuse the autograph. She also said that Paige was not rude, it was actually her boyfriend that came off in that fashion.

Paige was fully aware of what was being said and did respond.

The assertion that Paige should “always be on duty” is surely a bit frustrating for many fans. But some would say it’s indicative of today’s social media culture, which centers on complete openness and interpersonal connections among users. Evidently, Paige is required to acknowledge the fans despite what she’s doing or why.
Paige took serious issue with that notion.

Though Paige is no longer in the General Manager role, she is expected to still be used in some capacity on TV. The McMahon Family recently took full control of both Monday Night Raw and Smackdown Live, which essentially rendered Paige’s storyline job unnecessary.
Paige is still in the fold, though it’s unclear how WWE will use here from here. Fighting With My Family, the biopic about Paige’s life and journey to WWE, is scheduled for U.S. release on February 14.
