Carlito had a controversial line, and those we spoke to claim that it wasn't planned.
During a backstage segment with Adam Pearce, Carlito quipped "I gotta learn Chinese" after IYO SKY and Kairi Sane walked out of frame. Both women are Japanese. In the case of IYO, she'd been subjected to "go back to China" comments from an audience members in the past.
The line was edited out of all digital clips, with the segment starting after his line. The claim internally from at least one staff member was that the line was not scripted, and that they had spoken to were in disbelief that it was said.
Internally, there were a number in the company that weren't happy it happened. We've not heard of any action or heat on anyone for the situation as of yet.
