Monday night on Raw, SmackDown Live invaded the red brand, but Becky Lynch was injured after she got hit with a stiff shot courtesy of Nia Jax. The incident has made Nia Jax a hot topic within the internet wrestling community, and Bryan Alvarez recently noted that he thinks Nia should be sent back to developmental.
Well, there you go. That was not an inadvertent elbow. She punched her right in the face. I don't want anyone to lose their job, but at the very least Nia needs to be sent back to developmental for awhile. This isn't the first, second or even third time this has happened. https://t.co/ZoVhC4buSL

Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ryback later responded to Alvarez by telling him to “shut the f*** up” and he blamed Alvarez for wrestlers getting hate.
Shut the fuck up. Who the hell are you to make a statement like that? You’re a fucking mark and your shit opinion is the reason a lot of people spew hate onto wrestlers. You’re a pussy who can’t do it, so you criticize those who can. Mistakes happen, your parents understand that https://t.co/zuhQt7Sbwx

Ryback then went on to say that it’s unacceptable to spew hate at professional wrestlers.
All wrestlers get this kind of hate. They can’t say anything most times and it’s understandable. I on the other hand do what I want when I want and answer to only me. It’s unacceptable to spew hate like that at professionals. Professionals whom have actually made it. https://t.co/eQqPrnRagE

Alvarez later responded to Ryback’s comments by pointing out that he’s competed in over 1,000 matches throughout the course of his career.
I started wrestling in the mid-90s. In over 1,000 matches with everyone from Buddy Wayne to Lance Storm to Rock & Roll Express and Los Villanos and Larry Sweeney and Jack Evans and everyone else, I never hurt anyone, ever. Pretty sure I'm qualified to give my opinion on working.
