The latest episode of RAW saw The Hurt Business take on all four male Superstars from the RETRIBUTION faction. Reckoning, who is also part of RETRIBUTION, appeared as though she was having a seizure at one stage during the match. She later clarified on Twitter that she had been “possessed” and she would never fake a seizure or epileptic fit.
Writing on Fightful Select, Sapp said Vince McMahon initially planned for Yim’s Reckoning character to have a seizure on RAW. However, after being informed that it could be viewed in poor taste, the WWE Chairman agreed to tone down the segment.
As Sapp’s report noted, WWE’s commentary team accidentally called Yim by her former WWE name. She has been known as Reckoning since being revealed as a RETRIBUTION member in September.
Vince McMahon’s idea for Reckoning
In the early stages of The Hurt Business’ four-on-four elimination victory, Reckoning stood on the ring apron and began itching her arms and upper body. As she rolled around on the canvas, RETRIBUTION’s Slapjack rolled up a distracted MVP to eliminate the leader of The Hurt Business.
Although Vince McMahon’s idea was reportedly shot down, Reckoning’s segment was still perceived by many, including the Twitter user above, to be a seizure. RAW commentator Samoa Joe even said she was “having a fit” when the spot began.
