As with most of the inter-brand bouts on the card in Houston, there’s been some standard online posturing for the women’s elimination tag match at Survivor Series tonight (Nov. 19).
But there have also been some instances of things getting, or appearing to get (pro wrestling, everybody!) personal on Twitter. And the weird thing is that they’ve happened with people who are on the same team, or aren’t in the match at all.
Yesterday, Lana and Nia Jax rekindled an old Instagram beef when The Ravishing Russian brought up Jax’s recent time off after Nia responded to Natalya’s first tweet after Shane McMahon put her on SmackDown’s team:
Your team does A LOT of bleeding ! Such a weak trait to have https://t.co/sIKETwBDFS

Talking about weak .... Just don’t go AWOL again #SurvivorSeries #Teambleue https://t.co/yHxbJDd6KB

Well first of all... let’s spell “blue” correctly when you’re TRYING to throw shade. And second, make sure you have facts correct before you throw out completely FALSE accusations! And lastly, this beef is between ACTUAL competitors. So sit down & be humble #SurvivorSeries https://t.co/a0726VfQC4

I'm too #Ravishing to be humble #SurvivorSeries #TeamBLUE https://t.co/lFfzeTTTUL

Haha! Are you still talking? Listen here “Dirt Sheet” Queen, I’m done helping you try to stay relevant. Go practice, maybe you’ll make the team next time https://t.co/ZaQcJYYaCg

Clearly I hit to close to home for you. I thought you have a better come back since your not like most girls...... #SurvivorSeries https://t.co/lFfzeTTTUL

This morning, Sasha Banks applauded her old rival for the Raw Women’s belt (and fellow Horsewoman) Charlotte Flair when the current SmackDown champ was mocking her Survivor Series opponent, current Raw titleholder (and longtime Boss’ nemesis), Alexa Bliss:
@AlexaBliss_WWE I’ve fought, defended, and represented women’s wrestling with some of the best athletes this industry has ever seen. Little girls play dress up, women don’t need to. #SurvivorSeries #THEchamp

She’s not too worried about Team Red unity, either:
I’m team ME! https://t.co/Yw3i5GwBHD

Will the match live up to the levels of social media heat?
We’ll find out in a few hours.
