Even WWE is having some fun at the Patriots' expense, NESN reported.

During "Monday Night RAW" from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, WWE Diva Sasha Banks and her team showed their support for her hometown Pats.

The Pats gear was notable in New York in the wake of Sunday's loss to the Jets after New England elected to start overtime by kicking to the Jets, who promptly marched down the field to score the winning touchdown.

The broadcast team couldn't resist having some timely fun at Banks' and the Pats' expense.

“They should’ve never kicked to them,” John Bradshaw Layfield said, after Michael Cole noted that Banks must've forgotten that the Patriots lost to the Jets.

By the way, Banks didn't need overtime to pin New Yorker Becky Lynch in the Divas bout.
