Gisele Shaw Reacts to Backlash Over Scott D’Amore Relationship After MLP Women’s Title Win

Gisele Shaw just became the first-ever MLP Women’s Canadian Champion, but instead of celebrating her historic victory, she’s fighting off a wave of backlash.

Shaw’s win at Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling’s Northern Rising event saw her defeat Kylie Rae under controversial circumstances, and now some fans are accusing her of using her relationship with MLP owner Scott D’Amore to secure the title.

During the match, Shaw delivered a running knee strike to Rae to seal the victory, but not before using a foreign object to gain the upper hand. The questionable tactics sparked immediate criticism from fans and wrestlers alike, with some suggesting Shaw’s connections to D’Amore played a part in her win.

Rather than stay silent, Shaw decided to address the backlash head-on. Taking to Twitter, the former TNA Wrestling star didn’t hold back. “Haters will always attack and drag my personal life online but they all have one thing in common. They could never hate or deny my hard work, consistency, talent, my drive, and passion on everything I set my mind on. Stay Mad, it’s my fuel ✌🏼 First, Only, and Longest Reigning MLP Women’s Canadian Champion 🍁” Shaw wrote.

This isn’t the first time Shaw has faced criticism for her connections in the wrestling world. While her in-ring talent is undeniable, her relationship with Scott D’Amore has often been a topic of conversation, with some detractors claiming she’s getting preferential treatment.

Despite the chatter, Shaw is making it clear that she’s not backing down. She’s determined to silence the critics by continuing to dominate as MLP’s inaugural Women’s Canadian Champion, and she’s already calling herself the “First, Only, and Longest Reigning” champion in the company’s history.

As the drama unfolds, Shaw’s victory remains under a cloud of controversy. Did she really earn her spot as champion, or did her personal connections give her the edge?
