It was reported that Sexyy Red was arrested before she appeared on WWE NXT Battleground last Sunday. A new report has emerged with details of how the company reacted to the situation.
The famous rapper made her first appearance in WWE on the May 28 episode of NXT, where she unveiled the Women's North American Championship. Sexyy Red also made a few backstage appearances during the show and was ringside for the main event match. She hosted NXT Battleground this past Sunday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
