Natalya Lashes Out At WWE On FOX Twitter Account For Insensitive Women's Division Graphic
It's one thing if a fan creates a graphic that tiers wrestlers on the WWE roster. Even if a website that isn't connected to WWE were to do it, it would be understandable. But, when a network partner of WWE throws Superstars in the Women's Division under the bus like WWE on FOX did Natalya, it's kind a no-no. In fact, they alienated a bunch of female stars on WWE's roster.
WWE on FOX posted a graphic asking fans to build a team for $15 out of female wrestlers that were either in the $1, $2, $3, $4 or $5 tier. While names like Becky Lynch, Bayley Sasha Banks and Charlotte were at the top, Natalya, Peyton Royce, Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott were on the bottom.
Nattie was pretty upset and called out the account for trying to value her so low and put here in a box.
She wrote:
“I have struggled for years to figure out exactly what my worth is, but I won’t allow anyone to pick that number for me. As hurtful as seeing this is, I want it to be known, that if I ever find myself under all of these wonderful women it’s because I am a pillar and a foundation of what we’re doing. So please keep the $1, because anyone who knows anything, knows how priceless I am. -NKN."
Needless to say, Natalya got a lot of support from fellow Superstars who called FOX out for being so careless with the roster's feelings. Alexa Bliss said she wasn't a fan of tiering stars, Cesaro came to bat for Nattie and Shelton Benjamin even got into a bit of a war of words with a fan who tried to defend the graphic.
Kind Of A Jerk Move
WWE on FOX has since deleted the graphic and any comments they made about it, but they certainly caught some flack for being so relaxed about the performances and profiles of people their company is supposed to be supporting and promoting. The account didn't even include a number of big names such as Carmella, Billie Kay, and Dana Brooke, Mandy Rose, Nikki Cross, Reckoning, Tamina, Toni Storm or Lacey Evans.... we could go on and on as the Women's Division is perhaps the deepest it's been in a while.
We're not sure if it's better to have been left off the list or ranked lower. Both seem pretty insulting.
