LaVar Ball sure knows how to make enemies. However, not all enemies are equal.
Particularly if they are Braun Strowman.

This past Monday, Lavar Ball paid his first (hopefully last) visit to WWE. Joined by his sons, LA Laker Lonzo Ball, and ultimate cruiserweight Lamelo, Lavar Ball got the WWE spotlight we all suggested for him.
The Ball Trio made an appearance on Miz TV, outside of some promotion for their BBB brand, no one benefited. LaVar Ball would take off his shirt and more or less hijack WWE TV. As things were going off the rails, WWE sent out Dean Ambrose to patch it up.
Insert racial epithets.
LaMelo Ball, eager to get his own moment, screeched some absurd things into WWE's microphone. We all heard it, and if anyone missed it, Twitter facilitated the incident thousands of times.
The Balls on Miz TV upset a lot of people. Vince McMahon was rumored to be irate and wrestlers have taken to social media to express their disdain for Ball's appearance.
Braun Strowman is just the latest. However, he chose to comment on a Corey Graves Instagram post. Strowman uses his legal name on IG, but it didn't take long for people to sniff out his comment.

A good stomping from Braun Strowman would likely result in death. It's never a good thing when a professional wrestling organizing has to publically apologize for a guest's actions. Knowing they just aired a social boo-boo, WWE was quick to play PR damage control.
“The inappropriate language used by a guest during the ‘Miz TV’ segment was not scripted nor reflects WWE’s values,” WWE said in a statement to The Los Angeles Times.
It's safe to say we'll never see the Balls on WWE TV ever again.
