Horribly effective at causing needless offence this one, mostly because it would have been so simple to avoid. Ahead of a Survivor Series 2015 clash with friend-turned-rival Paige, Charlotte Flair spoke at length about life as a wrestler's daughter as well as mentioning her late brother Reid, who had tragically committed suicide two years earlier.
'The Queen' suggested she would fight "as her family always had", Paige spat back "your little baby brother didn't have much fight in him did he?".
It was a tasteless response on the surface, let alone when reports emerged that the extended Flair family including WWE cheerleader Ric weren't given prior warning of the callous reminder of the 25-year-old's passing.
