A new report suggests that the reason Leva “Blue Pants” Bates had heat in NXT had little to do with how she got herself over in the promotion, and more to do with her attitude. According to a source, Bates got in trouble with WWE officials because there was a feeling that she didn’t appreciate the spot she had and would often be seen paying more attention to her phone during the NXT tapings than what was going on in front of the crowd
Another source conflicts with previous reports, which suggested that Bates had caught heat by making comments about being more over than other tale
Bates also became intoxicated in public during SummerSlam weekend and acted inappropriately in front of WWE Corporate employees, which did not go over well. This led to her missing the flight back to Florida the next morning with the rest of the roster.
