WWE Cut Hugely Controversial Moment From Raw
After one offensive line made headlines on a recent Raw, WWE has made the decision to edit it out completely from the show.
Carlito spent much of the October 21st episode of Raw getting into trouble with just about everyone. After laughing at Dominik Mysterio’s claims that he’d be the man to beat Gunther, Raquel Rodriguez questioned why he was even there.
At this, the veteran dubbed himself a “fixer” and then said he was off to fix things. Carlito then went and proposed Gunther vs. Mysterio to General Manager Adam Pearce who also laughed. After begging for the match, Pearce said he’d consider it if Mysterio could beat a former World Champion next week.
WWE Cut Out Carlito’s Thoughtless Remark
However, it was Carlito’s comments when he first approached Pearce that grabbed the headlines. At the time, Kairi Sane and IYO SKY were speaking Japanese, to which he said “I gotta learn Chinese.” There was said to be disbelief at the comment, and many in the company weren’t happy it was used according to a report after it aired.
Now, that edition of Raw has been uploaded to Peacock and the WWE Network, the offensive line has been cut from the show. Carlito does not appear to have suffered any punishment as a result of the line and is being used as much on TV now as he was before – although his future in The Judgment Day continues to look bleak.
For their part, IYO SKY and Kairi Sane were said to have a surprising reaction to Carlito’s comment that may have saved his skin.
