WWE Unconcerned By “WrestleMania Roast” Backlash
On March 18, WWE announced the “Roast of WrestleMania” with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. The event is set to feature appearances from Sami Zayn, The Miz, Braun Strowman, Paul Heyman, and more.
The involvement of Hinchcliffe sparked significant backlash online after he called Puerto Rico an “island of garbage” at a rally for Donald Trump in October, while the rest of his speech was littered with other racial tropes many found offensive.
However, those in WWE reportedly “don’t care” about the negative reception as many within the company get on with the star.
