Controversy
[edit]In 2019, Satin became the subject of criticism on social media over a story about Sasha Banks and Bayley, stating that they had thrown a temper-tantrum backstage at WrestleMania,[7] in turn leading to rumors spreading that Banks had been "crying on the locker room floor", which both women have denied.[8][9] Satin has since apologized for the incident.[10]
Personal life
[edit]Satin grew up in a Jewish family.[11] Personal issues with Vince Russo resulted in Russo losing his job as a podcaster at his then platform PodcastOne in 2018. According to Russo the head of PodcastOne personally contacted Russo to offer him his show back.[12] Stephen Colletti revealed that Satin was his college roommate freshman year of college at San Francisco State University.
