WWE issued a statement last week claiming Charlotte (Ashley Fleihr) was responsible for the controversial promo last week where Paige referenced her deceased brother, Reid Fleihr.
The family was vocally upset with the content, as well as not being notified beforehand, and WWE then made the decision to name Charlotte as the person responsible for the promo. Apparently a scrapped story from a UK publication was reason enough for WWE to issue the statement, and making Charlotte the guilty party was their easy way out of the situation.
It was also said that WWE was bold in trying to say Charlotte was behind the promo, considering she didn’t speak most of the lines in question, or couldn’t get through it because she was so emotional about the situation. The promo re-aired on Smackdown, then was later cut when replayed during the Survivor Series PPV.
