According to reports, WWE made several edits to a recent wXw show they added to the Network. The edits were made due to the #SpeakingOut movement. During wXw’s 2019 Toronto event, WWE edited out the Julian Pace vs. Daniel Makabe vs. Cima vs. Brent Banks match as well as an angle between David Starr and WALTER.
As many of you know by now, numerous allegations against David Starr were made during the #SpeakingOut movement. The claims against him resulted in many others coming out, sparking the whole movement. Pace and Jay Skillet were released by wXw after the company investigated the claims. They posted the following statement at the time:
In light of wXw Wrestling Academy students stepping forward Julian Pace and Jay Skillet will no longer be part of wXw and the wXw Wrestling Academy.
We have six more episodes of wXw Shotgun 2020 filmed and produced. Both wrestlers have (bigger) roles during the series, one of them is part of three more matches and of the main storyline. We cannot feature either of them with a good conscience anymore.
We thus will be suspending the weekly release of the upcoming episodes of Shotgun effective immediately. We will edit all episodes accordingly and take out any segments/matches involving either of wrestlers.
All remaining six episodes of Shotgun will be released in shorter, edited form in July. New release dates will be decided on once we have had time to digest this situation.
