WWE NXT Star Dani Palmer Faces Backlash Over Conspiracy Theory About Hurricane Milton

Hurricane Milton is advancing through the Gulf of Mexico toward Florida and is being labeled as a highly dangerous storm that could impact a significant urban area. The severity of the situation cannot be understated but some people have decided to make it a political issue.

NXT wrestler Dani Palmer, who recently made her in-ring return after recovering from double hip surgery, has faced backlash over a now-deleted Instagram story. The post seemed to suggest that the recent hurricanes affecting the southeastern U.S. were politically motivated in anticipation of the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

”Praying for Florida. Stay alert and do
your own research, but to me something is fishy.
Research cloud seeding.
Research weather wars.
Keep note of the states being affected (solid red states)
36 days until Election Day. USPS has suspended service to many
zip codes due to the storm.
GA-42 zip codes
NC – 39 zip codes
TN – 19 zip codes”

This post sparked significant criticism, particularly on the wrestling forum SquaredCircle, where an image of the story has become one of the most discussed posts within the last 24 hours.

In response to the criticism, Palmer shared another Instagram story displaying various flower vases along with a biblical reference, “John 15: 18-25,” which is a passage titled “The World Hates the Disciples” in the New International Version of the Bible.

For the record, this week’s episode of NXT went as planned but the Superstars will have to remain in Missouri due to Hurricane Milton, as airports in Florida are shut down. The Hurricane is a very serious situation and fans feel Dani Palmer’s post was simply in poor taste. Regardless, we certainly hope she doesn’t make such posts ever again for everyone’s sake.
