Lana Addresses Video Of Her Holding Back Punch To Dana Brooke During SmackDown Invasion Of Raw

After Ruby Riott was named as the final member of the Raw Women’s Survivor Series Team, SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch attacked Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey in the locker room area, marking the beginning of Team Blue’s all-out assault on the red brand. There’s been a ton of negativity directed at Nia Jax on social media since she injured Lynch and effectively took her out of Sunday’s main event against Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series.

Lana is also getting some negative feedback after a video surfaced on Twitter of her and Dana Brooke having an odd exchange during the brawl. When isolated like this, away from the chaos of everything going on around them, it looks bad.

So, of course, Twitter being what it is, the clip got passed around and openly mocked. Eventually, it got to Lana herself, who responded to it as such:

I saw blood on Dana’s face so I stopped from hitting her & also was being told to get a doctor and ref because of what just had happened to Becky. We are out there fighting to win but not out there to legitimately hurt one another. https://t.co/El0T8PlmZz

Since I have been tagged in this many times.
I’m going to tell all of you to read my last tweet. This is not a laughable situation especially at the time being told to find help for Becky. Thank you for understanding

Yep and I am not going to hit someone that has blood all over their face. Know what you are talking about first before accusing people

Dana Brooke stepped up to defend Lana with the following:

Preach girl! You totally checked on me as an athlete is trained to do here in this profession .. and told officials! Haters gunna hate but never could take 2 steps in our shoes knowing what we have to do! People are idiots
