Backstage news has emerged regarding a line that was said by WWE star Carlito regarding IYO SKY and Kairi Sane during last night’s Raw.
During a backstage segment on the October 21 episode of WWE Raw, Kairi Sane and IYO SKY of Damage CTRL were talking to Adam Pearce.
After they walked out of shot, Carlito walked in to talk to Pearce himself – seemingly walking past Sane and SKY off camera – before saying “I gotta learn Chinese”.
Kairi Sane and IYO SKY are both Japanese, and there’s a well-known clip from a few years ago from when SKY was in NXT and a member of the crowd shouted “go back to China” at her before being removed by security.
In an update from Fightful Select, the claim internally within WWE is that the line said by Carlito was not scripted or planned.
The line has removed from official social media clips of the segment, which have been cut to start just after it was said.
People spoken to within WWE were reportedly “in disbelief” at the line being said, and there are a number of people in the company that “weren’t happy” about it.
There’s no word yet on if any action has been taken against anyone, or if there’s specifically “heat” on anyone regarding the situation. We’ll keep you posted with any further updates.
