Brie Bella has been responsible for a lot of botches since she returned to WWE but the worst one came during last week's episode of RAW when she kicked Liv Morgan in the face and gave her opponent a concussion. As a result of that, Bella has been on the receiving end of a lot of abuse from fans who have said she's not safe to be in the ring and should be punished for her dangerous mistake.
While it was obviously an accident, it's easy to see why fans are upset as a concussion can have a serious impact on a wrestler's career; after all, they very nearly ended Daniel Bryan's! However, clearly unhappy with how his wife is being treated by fans (which is perfectly understandable), the leader of the Yes Movement has taken to social media to issue a lengthy statement in response to them.
"I am proud of how strong my wife is. After accidentally injuring Liv Morgan last week, the first time Bri’s ever hurt another performer, she’s been subject to a constant barrage of social media attacks. Almost every wrestler has accidentally hurt someone but rarely do you see this kind of hate when it happens. For example, I concussed Randy Orton in 2012 after hitting him with what was supposed to be a chair to the back. Unfortunately part of the side hit him in the back of the head, and he was forced to miss a PPV.
In 2009 in our last match against each other, I concussed Nigel McGuinness after doing a dive into him in the crowd, where his head hit the floor. And there are others. As for the Yes kicks, two weeks ago I accidentally kicked Andrade directly in the head due to a miscommunication on my part. I feel fortunate that he was ok, because there are few feelings worse than hurting someone. Despite all of that, never did I receive the backlash Bri did this week. With all the negative things said about my wife, nobody was harder on her than she was on herself.
Thank you to the many people who reached out to support her, both publicly and privately. We all wish Liv Morgan a speedy recovery. #EndCyberbullying"
