Lana and Sasha Banks found themselves in a Twitter feud of sorts on Thursday over comments that Lana made after being criticized for liking Tweets made by Melina. Basically, Melina tweeted in reference to Banks’ loss to Alicia Fox, saying that she is being drawn in by the story of the match. When fans took the likes as a criticism of Sasha Banks for some reason, Lana responded and said she thought “Sasha is a game changer wrestler.”
People need2 have a broader viewpoint. There’s a story being told here & THAT’S what is drawing me in. What if this was why Sasha lost…1/3

… This wasn’t mind games, it was mocking. It’s underestimating ur opponent & fueling her determination to win. 2/3 https://t.co/PcmrRvrBpG

Thats just one of many possibilities of what could have happened. But it’s got people reacting and talking. That’s great booking to me. 3/3

Let me clarify when I liked @RealMelina tweets. I think Sasha is a game changer wrestler. I also think this gets more eyes on the story https://t.co/PZuMh3vm4E

Sasha then replied, in an apparent response to Lana:
“When you are confident in your own talent and abilities you have no reason too tear down others.”#LegitBoss

Since then, Sasha, Summer Rae and others have been using a hashtag of #BL2017, which fans are assuming to mean “Block Lana 2017” due to after Lana tweeted on how she would block any “haters”:
Also I will block the hate. I’ve said this many times before. I put my hater blockers on. I’ll block people that tweet lies or mean remarks
