Kenice Mobley, a writer for WWE that received a lot of attention after a podcast interview, has been released by the company.
Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reported her departure after she had been part of the writing staff on Raw for a brief time.
Earlier this week, there was a lot of focus after Mobley appeared on the Asian Not Asian podcast and spoke about joining WWE and being upfront about her lack of knowledge regarding the product (transcribed by Andrew Thompson):
Yes, I have just been hired by WWE. Given the things that you know about me and my entire life and what I’m into, yes [that’s surprising]. Yes, also a surprise for me. They did not require me to know anything about wrestling but I do have a background in film production and comedy writing and they’re like, ‘Perfect. Come on in.’
In the interview, she also spoke about the Raw brand and was unsure of Bobby Lashley’s name, which was the line that drew a lot of criticism:
So I am on the Monday Night Raw team. So there’s Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown and the people I know that are on it are Bobby — his name is either Bobby Ashley or Bobby Lashley and I really should know that. He’s like this giant Black guy and he and the people who are part of his crew, I know that they call — or at least as of last year, they called themselves The Hurt Business. The Hurt Business. They wear suits and they’re like, ‘We’re cool.’
Mobley is a comedian who appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon earlier this year and is the co-host of the Love About Town podcast.
