Kayla Braxton wants WWE to take Donald Trump out of the Hall of Fame — and she’s not being subtle about it.
The former WWE broadcaster took to her Instagram Story on February 19, 2026, calling on the company to publicly revoke Trump’s Hall of Fame status in light of the recently released Epstein files. She first acknowledged that speaking out politically wasn’t always welcomed during her time with WWE.
“Going back to when I was working in WWE, I used to get in trouble if I posted political things, because every once in a while I get riled up.”
Now that she’s no longer with the company, Braxton says she feels free to speak her mind — and she believes WWE should take a public stand by removing Trump from the Hall of Fame, now that the Epstein files have been released.
“Here’s what I think WWE should do. Donald Trump, who’s in our WWE Hall of Fame — now that the Epstein files have been released and there’s no question that that man is evil — WWE should do a public revoking of his Hall of Fame status.”
Kayla Braxton didn’t just stop there. Braxton suggested that removing Trump from the Hall would send a strong leadership message.
“That would be one of the coolest, most leadership-driven things they could possibly do. ‘Hey, Mr. Donald Trump, you are no longer in the WWE Hall of Fame.’ I want a statement. A celebration. Whatever. They should start this.”
Donald Trump was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Celebrity Wing in 2013 after multiple WrestleMania appearances and his involvement in the “Battle of the Billionaires” storyline at WrestleMania 23.
Her comments come after Jesse “The Body” Ventura recently criticized Trump being in the WWE Hall of Fame, arguing that legitimate wrestling figures have been left out while Trump received the honor.
“You know why he got in? Because he provided us two buildings. I think WrestleMania Five and Six, where he probably made millions renting us his buildings. And for that, Vince McMahon puts him in the Hall of Fame. It’s a disgrace. I’ve almost gone public and said I’m resigning from the Hall of Fame because Trump is in it and he doesn’t qualify.”
With both Ventura and Braxton now publicly pushing back — and the Epstein files leading to renewed controversy — the Hall of Fame discussion is no longer just about wrestling. So only time will tell whether WWE will decide to revoke Donald Trump’s status in the WWE Hall of Fame.
