WWE star Kiana James suffered an embarrassing blunder during a live elimination match, leaving fans furious on her behalf.
The 28-year-old entered the ring on Saturday in a deep-cut crop top with black and electric blue detailing and matching high-rise briefs.
She finished the look with a pair of racy fishnet tights, thigh-high boots and a black handbag with her name encrusted on the front in diamantes.
However, while competing against Tiffany Stratton at the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match in Chicago, the professional wrestler suffered a humiliating wardrobe malfunction.
At one point during the match, James hit the ground after Stratton dropped her legs on her torso.
The move resulted in James’s top slipping down and exposing her nipple, which was caught on the WWE broadcast.

James lay flat on her back for several moments, but the cameraman did not pan away from the wrestler’s chest.
WWE fans were left furious as they hit out at the broadcast for failing to pull focus from James’s embarrassing moment.
One upset fan posted on social media: ‘If I was Kiana James, I’d be so upset with WWE because they did not put up a black screen when Kiana had an unfortunate wardrobe mishap inside Elimination Chamber.
‘Kiana was in an uncomfortable position inside Elimination Chamber & everything down there was visible on TV, yet the cameraman did not move away from Kiana.
‘Even the production team did not put a black screen like they always do for women and now the video of the embarrassing moment of Kiana James has gone viral on the Internet.’
Although she did not win the elimination match, James, a recent NXT call-up, impressed as a rising star of the WWE.
James would eliminate Alexa Bliss during her time in the match, but after 16 minutes, she was ultimately eliminated by Raquel Rodriguez.
The Elimination Chamber match was won by Rhea Ripley, who will now clash with Women’s Champion Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42.

James opened up on her transition from a corporate job to the ring ahead of the WWE elimination match.
‘I was in corporate America and I fell in love with wrestling and quit my job to train,’ she told Us Weekly.
James attended Flatbacks Wrestling School in Forest City, Florida, and claimed she knew she was destined to become a ‘WWE superstar.’
‘I like to think that my journey, every piece of it, led me here,’ James said. ‘I think that being a WWE superstar blends all of my worlds. I come from a corporate background, but I grew up a competitive gymnast.
‘In college [at Morningside University in Sioux City, Iowa], I did competitive dance and cheer. I’ve performed in front of a crowd. I have love for the energy of a crowd. The acrobatics, the athleticism, the competition, it just blends it all.’
