WWE Superstar Paige Posts Engagement Ring On Twitter, Prompting Nasty Backlash From Jealous Fans
When Bleeding Cool last checked in with WWE superstar Paige, she had posted an open love letter to her boyfriend, former WWE superstar and Foot Clan soldier Alberto Del Rio, on Twitter, resulting in a lot of "concerned" responses from wrestling fans who for some reason (patriarchal entitlement) feel that they deserve some kind of input into who she dates. So when Paige posted a photo of her engagement ring on Twitter this morning, it was no surprise that so many of her male fans reacted with jealousy and nastiness:

It's sad that fans would react with such hostility to Paige sharing a happy moment from her life, but of course, it's also not at all shocking. Luckily, there were plenty of fans tweeting support as well, and good advice about the haters:
