An apology has been issued by WWE after an incident that occurred on RAW on Monday night.
During a segment involving Big Show and Rusev, which had revolved around their respective nations, Big Show pulled down a Russian flag that had been erected above the ring, but the company has admitted that the superstar's actions could have been "construed as disrespect".
An official statement read: "We at WWE would like to apologise to the Russian people for the incident on Monday Night Raw that could have been construed as disrespect for their nation's flag."
A match between the two could be scheduled for the upcoming Hell in a Cell pay-per-view on October 26.
