WWE Peacock Edits Out Carlito's Bigoted Remark, UK Indie Talents Attend NXT Taping
11/20/2024 10:55 PM
Carlito's controversial remark from the October 21st episode of WWE RAW has been excised from the Peacock replay.
The Judgment Day member generated some backlash with a comment during the backstage segment when IYO SKY and Kairi Sane walked off, stating, "I need to learn Chinese."
The episode became available on Peacock and WWE Network following the usual 30-day delay, and Pwinsider reports that the line was removed.
The dialogue has been muted, and the camera zooms in on Adam Pearce to prevent viewers from seeing Carlito deliver the phrase.
The day after the show, it was noted that the comment was improvised, and several individuals within WWE were displeased by it.
SKY and Sane are both Japanese, not Chinese, and SKY has experienced prior incidents involving audience members yelling at her to "Go back to China."
A few UK independent wrestlers, Rhio, Tate Mayfairs, and Molly Spartan, attended the WWE NXT taping this week.
The trio was spotted in the crowd at Tuesday's taping. Rhio holds the PROGRESS Women's Champion title, while Mayfairs frequently competes for PROGRESS. Spartan has performed for Insane Championship Wrestling, TNT, Blockbuster Pro, and several other promotions.
There is currently no word on whether they were merely visiting or if something more significant is in the works.
