This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw featured some special guests as LaVar Ball and his two sons Lonzo and LaMelo appeared on the show. The trio made their way to the ring for Miz TV, and WWE officials gave all three members of the Ball family live mics, which turned out to be a decision they lived to regret.

During the segment, The Miz and LaVar Ball looked like they were about to throw down when Dean Ambrose’s music hit. LaMelo Ball then shouted, “beat that n**** ass, beat that n**** ass” through the microphone. WWE has since released the following statement saying that the line was completely unscripted, “The inappropriate language used by a guest during the ‘Miz TV’ segment was not scripted nor reflects WWE’s values.”
F4Wonline.com is reporting that “backstage was chaos” after LaMelo Ball used the racial slur. According to the report, Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn were very unhappy when the word made it on to live TV.
You know what they say, anything can happen on live TV. But it’s probably safe to say that the Ball family won’t be returning to Raw anytime soon.

I watched it last night and even recall that happening. Thanks WWE for bringing it to my attention. Vince MacMahon, thought it was a good idea to bring that classes douche in, then cries like a victim when he did what everyone expected him to do. Makes me me search my head. What did you think would happen Vince. 12 year old boy in a man’s body happened….. Shocking.
