WWE has sent a message to the New York Police Department after they removed multiple stars from the building this past Friday night on SmackDown. Several wrestlers have issues with The Bloodline on the blue brand at the moment.

Jacob Fatu recently made his debut and attacked Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens. The American Nightmare kicked off this past WWE SmackDown in Madison Square Garden with Owens and Orton. The trio brawled with The Bloodline and wanted to take out the group completely. The babyface trio also beat down some of the security before General Manager Nick Aldis showed up with the NYPD and escorted them. Later on the show, the Samoan faction unleashed a brutal attack on Paul Heyman and powerbombed The Wiseman through the announce table.

The promotion took to Instagram today to react to Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens getting escorted from the building this past Friday night. WWE stated that NYPD removed "the wrong guys," seemingly hinting that the cops should have been going after The Bloodline.

"They got the wrong guys… 🚔"

Former WWE manager laughs at the promotion's security following SmackDown

Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell got a kick out of how useless the company's security was and noted they have not improved since he worked there.

Speaking on the most recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk show, Mantell shared his thoughts on the company's security team. The veteran joked that he was happy to see that they have not improved since he was employed by the company and noted they got roughed up this past Friday night on SmackDown.

"I'm glad to see that the WWF/WWE security hasn't improved since I was there. That is the shi**iest security ever. You call them in, they just get the s**t kicked out of them," the veteran said. [From 16:15 onwards]

You can check out Mantell's comments in the video below:

Paul Heyman refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief on SmackDown and The Bloodline turned their back on him. It will be fascinating to see how Roman Reigns reacts to the attack on Heyman when he finally returns to action.
