Election Day 2024 sparked a social media debate between former WWE personalities Charly Caruso (Charly Arnolt) and Kayla Braxton (Kayla Becker). Caruso took to social media to express her support for Donald Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance, outlining her reasons for backing the ticket.
“ELECTION DAY IS UPON US 🇺🇸 Biggest question to ask yourself is ‘are you better off now than four years ago?’” Caruso wrote. She added, “I have chosen to support a candidate who will put Americans first, reduce inflation, protect women by keeping men out of their safe spaces and sports, secure our border, bring back law and order, lower crime, have strong international relations to prevent us from going to WW3, and will restore overall normalcy to our country. It’s not about the ‘vibes’ or a candidate’s personality, it’s about policy. See everyone on the other side! 🇺🇸 #TrumpVance2024 #MAGA”
Braxton, who disagreed with Caruso’s take, responded on social media, questioning the statement about protecting women. “Protect women? Girl, where?” Braxton wrote. She later clarified that her response was not meant as a personal attack on Caruso.
“Guys in no way was my retweet an aim at her as a person. Just an aim at her take. It’s in all of our right to speak up about our opinion and she spoke on hers. I just strongly disagree. And that’s okay. Let’s not make this a hateful thread, please and thanks.”
The exchange highlighted the differing political views within the wrestling community and how election discourse continues to provoke passionate responses.
