Several AEW stars took to Twitter to react to the exchange between Big Swole and Tony Khan, where Swole said on her podcast that it was lack of diversity that is what had led to her departure from the company.
“That Bitch” Jade Cargill’s 2021 Pro Wrestling Recap & Highlights:
-No prior pro wrestling experience. Trusted in the upstart company over a well known one 🙏🏾💪🏾.
-Once in a lifetime high profile in-ring debut with @Shaq and @CodyRhodes.

A lot of buzzwords are being thrown around, so I’ll say it bluntly:
Your wrestling isn’t diverse if only white and white passing wrestlers are at the top. @TonyKhan
You can’t gaslight your way out of a critique that the entire community you’re allegedly serving has.

Or what we truly provide as talent for that matter. @TonyKhan
Professional Wrestling is committed to ignoring our power.

Absolutely not. This is completely disrespectful, not only to Swole, but to the black community that AEW has been consistently not listened to.
I wanted to be a part of the change AEW so desperately needs but you’re showing that you’re willingly missing the point.@TonyKhan https://t.co/FRjDNQEeyV

If nobody says something, then I will. Because this is fucked up and now I’m pissed.
