WWE star Paige publicly criticised an autograph-seeker who tracked her flight details and turned up at her connecting gate, calling the behaviour "f—ing weird." She said the incident is part of a wider pattern of fans and "airport scalpers" using flight information to intercept wrestlers, and urged people to stop, saying meet-and-greets at arenas are the appropriate venue for autographs rather than hotels, connecting flights or airports.

In a since-shared X post, Paige explained someone was waiting for her at the gate as she disembarked, carrying around 30 photos for her to sign. Speaking to TMZ, she said the man had bought a ticket specifically to reach her connecting gate, meaning he knew her flight, connection point and landing time, and suggested someone working for an airline or airport may be leaking such details to collectors looking to resell autographs. The comments come as Paige is also embroiled in an on-screen WWE storyline, with Nikki Bella turning on her at SummerSlam after Bella and her sister Brie lost the tag team titles.
