WWE RESPONDS TO LANA/RUSEV REACTION

After the negative response to last night's Lana promo at the WWE Battleground PPV, PWInsider.com contacted WWE to see if they had any response.

WWE issued the following to PWInsider this afternoon:

“Last night’s segment during WWE’s Battleground event was in no way referring to the Malaysia Airlines tragedy. The storyline with characters Rusev and Lana has been a part of WWE programming for more than 3 months. WWE apologizes to anyone who misunderstood last night’s segment and was offended.”
