WWE issues statement after LaMelo Ball uses racial slur over live mic

The Ball family were guests of WWE on Monday night.

The most recent episode of WWE's Monday Night RAW was taken over by the Ball family, as LaVar, Lonzo, and LaMelo were all invited guests for the in-ring segment "Miz TV".

As was partially expected, things got a little out of hand with LaVar Ball on scene, but thing got a little too controversial for WWE as 15-year-old LaMelo yelled "Beat that n**** ass!" twice over a live microphone in the Staples Center.

The scene caused enough commotion that WWE released this statement (via the LA Times) on the segment gone awry:

"The inappropriate language used by a guest during the 'Miz TV' segment was not scripted nor reflects WWE's values."

Things are definitely never boring when the Ball family is around, that's for sure.
