There has been some drama online with Lana, Sasha Banks and fans after Lana liked a few tweets made by former WWE Women’s Champion Melina, who sent out tweets that were in reference to Banks losing to Alicia Fox on this week’s RAW. Lana liked the following tweets:
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

This led to fans seeing that Lana liked the tweets and took it as Lana was dissing Banks.
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

Banks then tweeted the following:
"When you are confident in your own talent and abilities you have no reason too tear down others."#LegitBoss

Banks and Summer Rae then started using the “#BL2017” hashtag, which fans are assuming means “Block Lana 2017” after Lana tweeted on how she would block anyone who left negative comments for her.
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
