WWE References MH17 Tragedy to get Cheap Heat During WWE Battleground

Amid rumors that WWE is considering cooling the Rusev gimmick following the recent MH17 tragedy, it seemed that Lana made reference to the incident in a speech at last night’s WWE Battleground pay-per-view.

While not referring to the incident specifically, Lana said:

“You blame Russia for the recent current events.”

Everyone likely knew what she referenced and it was in poor taste – the line is already garnering negative responses online which could further prompt WWE to cool off the gimmick…

Update: WWE has issued a statement on the incident here.
