Heat between Lana and Sasha Banks over comments made by a former WWE Women’s Champion
There is apparently legit heat between Lana and Sasha Banks and it all stemmed from tweets from former WWE Superstar Melina. Melina commented on the fan reaction to the Banks vs. Alica Fox match from last Monday’s episode of Raw. Apparently, some fans feel that the loss to Fox meant that Banks was being buried.
Melina tweeted the following:
I'm reading reactions to Alicia Fox's win. I love this. Now I gotta see what happens next. pic.twitter.com/ikEhVuHJz7

People need2 have a broader viewpoint. There's a story being told here & THAT'S what is drawing me in. What if this was why Sasha lost…1/3

… This wasn't mind games, it was mocking. It's underestimating ur opponent & fueling her determination to win. 2/3 https://t.co/PcmrRvrBpG

Thats just one of many possibilities of what could have happened. But it's got people reacting and talking. That's great booking to me. 3/3

Lana liked the tweets referenced above and then wrote:
Let me clarify when I liked @RealMelina tweets. I think Sasha is a game changer wrestler. I also think this gets more eyes on the story ?? https://t.co/PZuMh3vm4E

That was followed up by this tweet from Banks and another one from Lana where she talks about blocking the hate and blocking people that tweet “lies or mean remarks:”
"When you are confident in your own talent and abilities you have no reason too tear down others."#LegitBoss

Also I will block the hate. I've said this many times before. I put my hater blockers on. I'll block people that tweet lies or mean remarks

That was followed up with another tweet from Banks and Summer Rae with the hashtag #BL2017, which some fans are interpreting as “Block Lana 2017.”
#BL2017 and forever

Since Lana and Banks are on opposite brands, I assume that there is legit heat here but I will admit, I don’t get why anyone would get upset over Melina’s comments. Maybe there is more going on between Lana and Banks than we know.
