Mark Briscoe was not happy with the WWE on FOX Twitter account on Sunday.
On the December 8 episode of WWE SmackDown, Bobby Lashley defeated Karrion Kross. After the bell, Lashley celebrated his win and posed with The Street Profits. The WWE on FOX Twitter account shared a picture of the trio and wrote, “DEM BOYZ!”
Mark Briscoe responded to the post on December 10 by saying, “For real? This sh*t is hilarious. @TripleH, whoever runs this Twitter should probably be fired for lack of knowledge. Or they need the taste slapped out of their mouth for lack of reverence.”
Mark Briscoe seemingly took issue with the usage of “Dem Boyz”, as that was the nickname for The Briscoes, his team with his brother, Jay Briscoe. December 10 marked the anniversary of ROH Final Battle 2022, where Jay competed in his second-to-last match before he lost his life in a car accident.
Maria Kanellis, a longtime friend of The Briscoes, also commented on the post on Twitter and said it was “so disrespectful and tone deaf,” as Mark and Jay were the only “Dem Boyz.”
Update: Mark later posted a follow-up tweet in which he said he just missed his brother, and he got a little in his feelings. He stated that Triple H didn’t have to fire anyone.
