9 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Emma

1. Lio Rush's Ill-Thought Joke

You should probably get your feet under the NXT table before you go making any Twitter jokes at the expense of a well-liked and recently-departed member of the WWE roster.

This is the lesson Lio Rush learned the hard way this week, after mischievously suggesting that the Aussie's departure was a consequence of her losing to Asuka at TLC.

Cue a lot of follow-up Tweets from his fellow professionals -including an out-of-character Bray Wyatt - reproaching him for being so insensitive. This of course was made worse by the fact that Emma herself greeted the news with a cryptic "heartbreak" emoji.

WWE will be hoping we forget about one of its brightest young talent's public slip-up, and so too will Rush himself. The 22-year-old has barely been with the company, and backstage heat of this kind probably won't be welcome so early in his career.
