A recent lawsuit against WWE has revealed several backstage issues. One such issue is around a controversial pitch that lead writer Mike Heller made for Aliyah.

Aliyah has been absent since losing the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship to Damage CTRL. Her absence has so far lasted for 227 days and counting.

The court documents state that the pitch was for a love storyline between Mansoor and Aliyah, with Angel Garza trying to break them up. Kyla Sylvers and Britney Abrahams had a pitch where Aaliyah was confident in herself and what she wanted, speaking up for herself against both stars.

However, when this was pitched to lead writer Mike Heller, he was confused as to why Aliyah was appearing so well-adjusted and not "crying on the stairs after her breakup with Mansoor."

The document stated that Heller pitched a love triangle objectifying and bim**fying Aliyah, with Garza being forward in his efforts to date her, which confused her.

Abrahams then spoke up, saying that the story took away Aliyah's agency in WWE. She said that she wanted a more feminist approach to the character since the company had already marketed the 28-year-old as being "super-hot."

Several other serious accusations have also emerged, including the company wanting to make a wrestler responsible for the 9/11 attacks and another in which they wanted Reggie to be caged and beaten up.
