WWE Issues Statement on Use of Putin in Story Lines

The Daily Beast has posted a story about WWE using Vladimir Putin's image and name in story lines, and WWE has issued the following statement regarding the angle:

"WWE programming, like Hollywood movies and television shows, is an exciting blend of action, characters and fictional storylines of good versus evil that are often inspired by pop culture and current events. Russian President Vladimir Putin has given us good material to work with to create strong characters in Rusev and Lana, who are perceived as either protagonists or antagonists depending on where in the world you are watching WWE programming."
