This past week on Smackdown Live Jinder Mahal cut a promo that has received a fair amount of criticism since Mahal decided to mock Shinsuke Nakamura’s Japanese accent. Mahal saying that Nakamura “always rooks the same” and referring to him as Mr. Miyagi.
WWE issued this statement to The Post regarding the promo:
“Just like many other TV shows or movies, WWE creates programming with fictional personalities that incorporates real world issues and sensitive subjects.”As a producer of such TV shows, WWE Corporate is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide.”
WWE never uploaded a clip from the segment on their YouTube channel (the clip above is from last week’s show), although they uploaded videos from all of the other segments on the show.
