According to sources, it was a scrapped storyline that caused WWE to issue their statement on Charlotte and Paige’s controversial promo from the RAW before Survivor Series. WWE decided to issue the statement, in which they said that “Subject matter this personal is only approved as a result of the strong advocacy of the talent themselves,” because a UK publication was about to do a story concerning the direction of the company.
The promo garnered considerable negative attention for referencing Charlotte’s late brother Reid Flair, who died in March of 2013 from an accidental overdose of heroin and the prescription drugs clonazepam and alprazolam. Reid and Charlotte’s mother spoke out about the promo on social media and Ric Flair said he had no knowledge of it beforehand, implying that Charlotte may not have been in a position to speak up.
The promo was re-aired on SmackDown but cut for the hype video at Survivor Series.
