WWE NXT Diva Trends Worldwide Following New Gimmick Debut at Live Event and Swastika Photos Surfacing Online

WWE NXT Diva and real life girlfriend of Seth Rollins, Zahra Schreiber, was trending worldwide on Twitter last night, and it appears to be for two reasons.

One, she debuted a new gimmick as Solomon Crowe’s sister at a WWE NXT live event tonight in Ft. Pierce, FL.

Secondly, photos Schreiber posted back in 2012 on Instagram, which have since been deleted, resurfaced when some fans found them and posted them online.

The photos feature a swastika, which is a symbol most infamously used by the Nazi party during World War II, although the ones Schreiber posted seem to be unrelated to the Nazi party.

I'm not posting the photos, but you can view them here.

Below are some of the Schreiber’s responses to comments made by fans:

* I like history ha

* it’s really not anyone’s business anyway. I can post whatever photos I want, if you don’t like them my feelings won’t be hurt if you unfollow.

* thanks! I am in love with the photo of maria magdalena!

* there are lots of cool photos on eBay.

* haha it’s not a big deal! I can hang whatever photos I want in MY room or MY instagram. Just like she can post all over her networking sites how she thinks women who are prolife are idiots. We all have our own opinions and lifestyles. I don’t comment on hers so I expect the same.

* The swastika means prosperity and luck. It was around way before hitler turned it into an icon. Take it how you want I could careless. This is too funny.

* Believed what way? Lol one of my best friends back home is black and another is married to a black man. I dislike people for their actions not their race. If it happens to be a black, Asian or white person so be it. Mind your business. I’m not all on your s–t for things you say that I have no respect for.

* I don’t really give a s–t what it means to other people Brendan

* I said that referring to her saying the swastika symbol deserves to be spat on. It has other meanings also. f–k off. I’ll take interest anything I want. If you look next to it is a photo of an actress who refused nazism and was awarded right to America. I’ll put whatever i want on wall. Get the f–k over it.

* me too esp over something so stupid. People need to lighten up and get the sticks outta their ass.

It will be interesting to see if the WWE takes any action against her in light of the Hulk Hogan scandal.
