Footage of Trump's cabinet pick Linda McMahon taking violent slam in WWE fight goes viral and people are losing it

A clip has resurfaced of Donald Trump's cabinet pick Linda McMahon getting thrown to the floor during a World Wrestling Entertainment show.

Yes, because politicians are now people who've taken part in WWE... Or should I say, people in WWE are now being made politicians.

In case you weren't aware already, Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election and co-chair of his transition team Linda McMahon has since been named as the president-elect's pick for education secretary.

In a statement, Trump said: "As Secretary of Education, Linda will fight tirelessly to expand ‘Choice’ to every State in America, and empower parents to make the best education decisions for their families. … We will send education BACK TO THE STATES, and Linda will spearhead that effort.”

And well, if you needed any more idea as to just how up for 'fighting' McMahon really is then look no further than several resurfaced clips of her taking part in WWE.

McMahon co-founded WWE with husband Vince McMahon and a clip showing her and wrestler Glenn Thomas Jacobs has been circulating on social media.

Jacobs can be seen performing a move called the tombstone piledriver on McMahon - and it's as full-on as the name makes it out to be.

Taking place during an episode of Monday Night Raw in the early 2000s, Jacobs can be seeing getting flung up into the air, turned upside down and dropped onto the floor in a choreographed sequence which sees her pretending to be passed out.

Oh and it doesn't end their either, multiple other clips being shared too of Trump's education secretary pick getting hands on with other WWE wrestlers and even her children too.

And it's not taken long for people to weigh in.

One Twitter user said: "She will be a good choice to shut the dept down."

"Only in US politics," another added, as a third commented: "American, this is the clown show we will have to deal with."

"Great! She's an all-'rounder!" A fourth wrote.

McMahon is the former chief executive of WWE, having stepped down from her role to enter politics.

In October, she was named in a lawsuit involving WWE, accusing her, her husband and the company of knowingly allowing former WWE ring crew chief Melvin Phillips Jr to sexually abuse young boys and failing to stop it from happening.

McMahon's attorney Laura Brevetti, an attorney for Linda McMahon, told CNN the lawsuit is 'filled with scurrilous lies, exaggerations and misrepresentations regarding Linda McMahon'.

She stated: "Ms. McMahon will vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit and without doubt ultimately succeed."
