This was from a media interview promoting Takeover: Blackpool 2, where Triple H made a joke about Paige "having kids she doesn't know about". Paige has every right to not feel happy about that, and she's got support from Renee Young and Nikki Bella.

Not a good joke by the H. Hopefully he’s apologized to her.

Wow, what an asshole.
Classless from Triple H but it doesn't surprise me.

It's bad enough when it's Twitter eggs slut-shaming Paige. Really classless look on Triple H here.

It's bad enough implying someone you work with is, basically, a whore.
It's worse when you remember that he's the vice president of talent relations.
Like...what?

What did he say exactly? The video won't work for me.
EDIT: ok, got it to work. My take on it: I think he was trying to joke as if she were "one of the guys." Not saying it doesn't come across in poor taste, but I think he sort of blanked and resorted to a standby joke he would've made about a male employee. The way he reacted to the laughter at the end, I think he realized he goofed.
That said, I hope he apologized to her for that.

Really low tasteless joke on his part he should know better and I hope he apologized.
Hopefully when he tries a joke next time he learns to aim into kayfabe and not personal.

What did he say exactly? The video won't work for me. He was asked about wrestlers returning from career ending injuries like Daniel Bryan, and brought up recent rumours about Edge and Paige, saying that as much as he'd love to see them return, he'd prefer to see them live long lives, as Edge has kids and Paige "probably has some she doesn't know about". He clearly panicked when he realised how he referenced Edge and couldn't think of how to follow that up with Paige as she doesn't have kids and can't give birth due to a womb defect.

A slut joke in 2020 isn’t going to work, Trips. He needs to stop improvising jokes and be as robotic as his wife in media interviews.

WWE is hilariously bad in the #MeToo era.

This dude is the worst. He slept around on his then-girlfriend Chyna with Stephanie, so I'm not sure if I'm insinuating anyone is a whore.
Also, it was a shitty 'joke' to begin with. How the hell does a woman not realize she's had kids? Does Triple Paul know how babies are born?

Yeaaaaaaaaah. Y'know, I've seen management types try to "be one of the guys" by making jokes so I guess maybe it's just something that happens, but this is unacceptable. Paige has been through the ringer these past few years and shit like this is why WWE is viewed so poorly.

Either that or he panicked when trying to say something after he said Edge has kids and came up with that.

Trips' sub Don Rickles routines have aged like fine milk.

I’d really recommend the episode of Renee Young’s podcast where she interviews Paige. They go into these issues in-depth and it underlines why someone like Hunter making that joke is hugely inappropriate and possible damaging.
