SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
Just hours before his debut match with AEW against Jon Moxley, Brian Kendrick was removed from Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show. Tony Khan confirmed the news after past videos resurfaced of Kendrick making antisemitic comments.
We’ve been made aware of abhorrent & offensive comments made in the past by Brian Kendrick. There’s no room in AEW for the views expressed by Brian. We think it’s best for all that Brian be pulled from tonight’s card as we gather more info. We’ll announce a replacement bout ASAP.

Kendrick was recently release from WWE. He is a former WWE Tag Team Champion and Cruiserweight Champion. There is no indication on when or if we he will still work for the company.
CATCH-UP: AEW World Championship match announced for Dynamite in two weeks, grudge match set for next week
The question is how old are these comments or are we once again dealing with cancel culture bullshyt narratives based on only who the person is and the color of their skin vs the content of their comments IE Whoopi Goldberg who got a slap on the wrist and a two week vacation for her clearly anti semitic comments as a black woman bht Kendrick being a white dude it’s ok to just execute him on the spot because hey all white people are just racist right??
