WWE's already starting to apologize or at least inform people that anything involving Zeb isn't actually meant to be taken seriously. It also appears the statement was issued mainly due to the negative reaction Fox News had with the storyline than earlier from people being upset on Twitter or on blogs.
Quote:
WWE has a long history of creating fictional characters that serve as either protagonists or antagonists, no different than other television shows or feature films. To create compelling and relevant content for our audience, it is important to incorporate current events into our storylines.
WWE is creating drama centered on a topical subject that has varying points of view to develop a rivalry between two characters. This storyline in no way represents WWE’s political point of view. One should not confuse WWE’s storytelling with what WWE stands for, similar to other entertainment companies such as Warner Bros., Universal Studios or Viacom.
