WWE posted the following statement about their exchange on social media:
Charlotte isn’t the only Diva who took Paige’s brazen comments personally during the contract signing for the Divas Title Match at Survivor Series.
Lana, who is currently out with a wrist injury, called Paige out over Twitter Tuesday morning for disrespecting the memory of the Divas Champion’s brother Reid, who passed away in 2013. The tweet that started it all has since been deleted, but it was severe enough to begin a war of words between Lana and the No. 1 contender to the Divas Championship all the same.
The exchange veered into highly personal territory as the two continued to snipe back and forth throughout the morning until The Ravishing Russian had exhausted all her insults and abruptly ended the beef. If nothing else, Lana’s got a ready-made foe for her in-ring debut.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that WWE’s statement was an attempt to cover up their Twitter fight to look like a storyline, but it wasn’t. There is said to be even more heat on Lana within WWE due to her recent fighting on social media.
Sources have told The Observer that WWE is not happy with Lana ever since the poor handling of her engagement to Rusev that went directly against WWE television. Lana’s injury and behavior on social media is not helping, her get back into the good graces within WWE.
