As PWMania.com previously reported, former AEW announcer Willie Urbina was heard on a live mic as he was making fun of Hikaru Shida during the May 28th 2021 Friday Night Dynamite Spanish broadcast. Urbina was promptly fired from the company.
Shida addressed the incident on Twitter and said she didn’t want to mention it before the Double or Nothing PPV. Shida said she’s proud of her race and wasn’t angry about the comments.
大一番の前に他の事を話したくなかったので今お伝えしますね。
炎上しているスペイン語解説者の件ですが、マジでどうでもいいです。だって私は自分の人種に誇りを持ってるし、それをなに言われても「バカ言ってるなぁ」という感じで怒りすら湧きません。
