Lavar Ball made a very interesting appearance on Monday Night Raw last night. The former football player’s son, Lonzo Ball, had recently been drafted by the Lakers.
A fan in attendance leaked video of what happened when Raw went to commercial, and apparently the show didn’t stop.
LaVar wasn't done. Lol pic.twitter.com/Eb5fHceL6c

WWE Issues Apology for Lamelo Ball Comments
Fans on social media picked up on comments made by LaMelo Ball during the segment, including use of a racial slur. As a result, WWE issued a statement to the LA Times:
“The inappropriate language used by a guest during the ‘Miz TV’ segment was not scripted nor reflects WWE’s values.”
Sports Illustrated posted a censored version of the segment:
