The official Twitter account for the Queen of the Ring biopic is hitting back after fans accused them of bashing WWE in a series of controversial tweets.
In response to a fan who warned that taking shots at WWE could backfire, the account doubled down, claiming they werent bashing WWE but merely telling the truth.
We arent bashing WWE. Our director is a life-long fan, the account tweeted. Theres a lot to unpack here, but start with this, they added, linking to a YouTube clip titled Jim Cornette Talks with Ash Avildsen About WWE Abruptly Pulling Their Talent From Queen Of The Ring.
In the clip, Avildsen claims that WWE initially offered to let Charlotte Flair and Liv Morgan appear in the film but abruptly pulled them just days before filming. According to Avildsen, WWEs film department was enthusiastic about the project, but he was later told that Vince McMahon allegedly pulled the plug due to frustration over talent missing TV episodes for movie roles.
I asked what happened, and all I was told was, It came from the top, Avildsen said. The whole thing was just so elusive and bizarre.
Meanwhile, the Queen of the Ring Twitter account continues to engage with fans, insisting they arent trying to start drama but rather share the reality of what happened.
The Queen of the Ring Twitter accounts blunt responses to fans have only intensified the debate over WWEs alleged sabotage of the film. With the movies recent release, the tension between the films production and WWE could continue to escalate.
