'What would you have me do, starve myself?': WWE star Peyton Royce hits back at body-shaming journalist

The 25-year-old Sydney-born wrestler lashed back at Wrestling Observer Newsletter reporter Dave Meltzer who said she looked ‘more attractive’ when she was ‘lighter’
PUBLISHED AUG 16, 2018

Australian wrestler Peyton Royce has hit back at a renowned journalist after being criticized for her looks.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter reporter Dave Meltzer, who has one of the most prominent voices in the industry, has been forced into a humbling apology after discussing Royce’s appearance on radio recently. In a radio discussion with co-host Bryan Alvarez, Meltzer suggested Royce — who recently made their debut on 'Smackdown' with her compatriot Billie Kay — looked ‘more attractive’ when she was ‘lighter’ during her stint with WWE's lower-level apprenticeship show 'NXT'. 

As the Daily Examiner points out, Meltzer appeared to refer to the 25-year-old Sydney-born wrestler's recent breast enhancement surgery and her weight. “I think Peyton Royce’s transformation to look more attractive … I don’t know, I don’t want to say. But I don’t think that …,” Meltzer began.
