A WWE star has reacted to a recent moment on a premium live event, calling it a ‘slap in the face’ to their predecessors.

Last night’s NXT Battleground event was hosted by rapper Sexyy Red, who made numerous appearances throughout the night.

One such segment saw Sexyy Red backstage with Lola Vice, who had just defeated Shayna Baszler in an NXT Underground match, which ended with the two twerking together.

Taking to Twitter to react to the segment, NXT’s Arianna Grace, in line with her ‘Miss NXT’ character, expressed her disgust with the segment, calling it a ‘slap in the face’ of those who paved the way for them.

She wrote:

As Miss NXT, I must express my disgust with all the twerking on my precious show. What example does this set for young girls? It is a slap in the face to our female predecessors who fought to pave the way for us… I am repulsed!!!!!! #wwe #wwenxt

Grace was a part of an ongoing storyline with Gigi Dolin on the brand, which has been dropped in recent weeks, with Gigi out of action due to a ‘serious’ knee injury.

As Miss NXT, I must express my disgust with all the twerking on my precious show. What example does this set for young girls? It is a slap in the face to our female predecessors who fought to pave the way for us… I am repulsed!!!!!! 🤮#wwe #wwenxt
