A former wrestler and his family make a living performing at small venues around the country while his kids dream of joining WWE.

An over the top segment between WWE’s biggest women’s stars Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch has set tongues wagging as the company again tried to blur the lines between scripted and reality ahead of WrestleMania 35.

The trio were all ‘arrested’ and released ahead of getting set to create history as the first women’s main event at ‘The Showcase of the Immortals’ on Monday.

The storyline problem is that Rousey and her two co-stars were supposedly arrested at RAW as the final show before Mania erupted into scenes of chaos at the Capital One Arena in Washington.

WWE executive Stephanie McMahon confirmed early on in the episode that Rousey’s RAW Women’s Championship belt and Flair’s SmackDown Women’s Championship belt will both be on the line in their triple threat blockbuster with Lynch.

The trio will fight for the chance to unify the belts for the women’s championship at WrestleMania on Monday (AEDT).

Atill even by WWE standard the segment went right over the top after the star trio squared off in a six-woman tag-team match on Tuesday (AEDT) and were expressly told that any further rule violations would see them kicked off the historic WrestleMania feature fight.

That warning seemed to have absolutely no impact whatsoever as Rousey won the match with a blind tag and then turned on Flair and Lynch with a flurry of blows.

In crazy scenes of orchestrated violence, security rushed to the ring to try and break the trio apart as they traded blows.

Then the segment devoled into complete farce when police arrived to back the security guards up and the trio were placed in handcuffs.

As they were escorted backstage to where the police squad cars were parked, the fighting erupted again after Rousey and Lynch were placed in the back of the same car.

The broadcast then showed Rousey kicking out and shattering the side window of her police car before she climbed through the window to chase her rival.

Flair also escaped from the back of her police car to start kicking Lynch as the former champion tried to flee from Rousey’s kicks.

It was complete pandemonium.

Rousey at one point climbed back into the front of the first police car she was in before driving it into the back of the other police vehicle.

She was then ‘apprehended’ again before finally being driven away in the back of a police car.

The WWE announced later that all three had been released.

The over-the-top stunt attracted plenty of criticism from many WWE commentators, while other fans were screaming for more blood.

The incredible drama all came after the trio dramatically snapped following the end of the tag-team match.

Rousey earlier this week set another historical first in the women’s division when she became the longest reigning RAW women’s champion after holding the belt for 224 days, The Sun reports.

Rousey, 32, claimed the title when she defeated Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam in the Barclays Center.

She cemented her spot at the top of the female division just 133 days after her in-ring debut at WrestleMania 34.

Before Rousey was the champion, Bliss held the record after 222 days.

Fourteen performers have held the title since it was introduced at WrestleMania 32 in April 2016.
