The ramifications of becoming the ultimate sacrifice taking on the sin of mankind may have done just that. Did the Lord cross over into the torment side of hades in Abrahams bosom?
I don't know why there is such controversy over the matter. Word of faith has always maintained by scripture that Jesus spirit was indeed affected in the regions below after He gave up "the ghost" at Calvary.
When God raised Jesus up, He loosed Him from the pains of death (Acts 2:24).
The Lord was justified or vindicated in the Spirit (1 Tim 3:16) and made alive in the spirit (1 Peter 3:18) after His resurrection.
So those who attack WOF teaching that JDS really have no justification in doing so other than bringing dissention to the body of Christ.
