WWE apologises for Russian flag incident

WWE apologises for any "disrespect" shown during RAW on Monday night where a Russian flag was pulled down by the Big Show.

An apology has been issued by WWE after an incident that occurred on RAW on Monday night.

During a segment involving Big Show and Rusev, which had revolved around their respective nations, Big Show pulled down a Russian flag that had been erected above the ring, but the company has admitted that the superstar's actions could have been "construed as disrespect".

An official statement read: "We at WWE would like to apologise to the Russian people for the incident on Monday Night Raw that could have been construed as disrespect for their nation's flag."

A match between the two could be scheduled for the upcoming Hell in a Cell pay-per-view on October 26.
