90 Day Fiancé star Paola Mayfield has a new job, and it’s probably not what anyone expects. The controversial reality star has been raising eyebrows throughout the last year for her championing nonsense pseudoscientific conspiracy theories about COVID-19. Now, she’s turning heads yet again, but this time it’s happening in the ring. Mayfield recently announced she’ll be taking up wrestling, and fans have mixed reactions.

Paola Mayfield of 90 Day Fiancé has been wildly misled when it comes to medical science. The controversial reality star has taken to posting falsehoods and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the vaccine throughout the last year — and she seems to have an especial hatred for Bill Gates. 

For example, Mayfield previously posted a photo of Bill Gates to her Instagram story, surrounded by innocuous quotes from the philanthropist. 

“It’s looking like [RNA vaccines are] one of the most promising options for COVID. There’s a catch, though: we don’t know for sure yet if RNA is a viable platform for vaccines. … We need to manufacture at least 7 BILLION doses. … Eventually, though, we’re going to scale this thing up so that the vaccine is available to everyone. And then, we’ll be able to get back to normal,” read one such quote.

[Not] today Satan!!!” wrote Mayfield over the quote. Mayfield has also expressed sincere belief that rebreathing one’s own carbon dioxide exhalations can cause damage — a verifiably false belief.

Now, the 90 Day Fiancé star is making waves again, but this time it’s thanks to a new profession. Paola Mayfield took to Instagram to announce her debut as a wrestler. She posted a photo of herself wearing her wrestling outfit. 

“The Moment is here. Meet Paola Blaze , your new favorite wrestler. I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long!” she started out her lengthy caption.

“I can’t believe in a couple of days, on May 1st, I will be making my debut as a wrestler. I can finally show all my hard work and dedication! You never know what you want in life until you try many things, and I’m glad I did! I have fun, I make money, and I make people angry,” she continued.

“I’ve been training since last year, very hard and quietly. Wrestling requires so many skills that I didn’t know I have but damn I’m very good at them! I love it, it makes me feel alive and powerful!” she added, before including the details of her debut performance.
