We stand beside our Black performers, employees and fans around the world, and encourage everyone to use their voice to speak out against racism. We offer our sincere condolences to the family of George Floyd and the families of others who have lost their lives due to senseless violence.”

Many people in WWE have spoken up about the current situation as well. Most notably, people like MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Big E, Xavier Woods, and Kofi Kingston have shared their messages about their experiences dealing with racism in their lives.

It goes without saying that racism is evil and needs to be fought against.
