A controversial comment by Carlito made during the October 21, 2024, edition of WWE Raw has been removed from Peacock\'s upload of the show. The comment, made during a segment with Adam Pearce saw Carlito say \"I gotta learn Chinese\" after IYO SKY and Kairi Sane left the room.

Many took issue with the line, believing it played on harmful stereotypes about Asian people, as SKY and Sane are both Japanese, not Chinese. On Peacock, the segment has been edited and now Pearce simply asks Carlito what he wants, without the comment from the Judgment Day member.
The line was not scripted, with those who heard it within WWE\'s production said to have been in disbelief over what was said. This line and backlash came about during a time when Triple H\'s creative direction had come under great scrutiny by fans. The WWE CCO was criticized for his his answer on the lack of representation of black talent on WWE Premium Live Events.
Peacock Removing Content
This isn\'t the first time Peacock has edited WWE content that it feels may not reflect its values. Other examples of WWE content you won\'t find on Peacock include:
- DX\'s parody of the Nation of Domination, which included the use of blackface.
- Vince McMahon\'s use of the N-word in a segment with John Cena and Booker T.
- Roddy Piper painting half his body black for his feud with African-American wrestler Bad News Brown.
- Mickie James licking her hand after grabbing Trish Stratus\' crotch at WrestleMania 22.
Now, Carlito\'s controversial line has been cut from Peacock, years after a \'fan\' told SKY during a WWE NXT match to \'Go Back to China.\' Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from WWE.
