As reported earlier today here regarding the recent "backstage heat" over newly hired WWE creative writer/producer Kenice Mobley and her comments during her controversial interview on the "Asian Not Asian" Podcast) led to an update stating that Mobley has been released from her position on the WWE Monday Night RAW writing team.
Kenice Mobley, who credits herself as a stand-up comedian and podcast host, was hired to work as creative writer/producer for WWE's RAW brand earlier this month. Below are some excerpts from the controversial interview regarding Kenice Mobley and the position she was hired for on the red brand's WWE Monday Night RAW show.
Mobley On Writer "Requirements" In WWE:
"Yes, I have just been hired by WWE. Given the things that you know about me and my entire life and what I’m into, yes [that’s surprising]. Yes, also a surprise for me. They did not require me to know anything about wrestling but I do have a background in film production and comedy writing and they’re like, ‘Perfect. Come on in.’"
Mobley On Her Writing Position On WWE Monday Night RAW:
"So I am on the Monday Night Raw team. So there’s Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown and the people I know that are on it are Bobby — his name is either Bobby Ashley or Bobby Lashley and I really should know that. He’s like this giant Black guy and he and the people who are part of his crew, I know that they call — or at least as of last year, they called themselves The Hurt Business. The Hurt Business. They wear suits and they’re like, ‘We’re cool.’"
Mobley On Why She Took The WWE Writing Position:
"I went on a date and this guy was like, ‘Don’t you feel like you’re –’ he effectively said, ‘Don’t you feel like you’re diminishing your dignity writing for WWE?’ And I was like, ‘Um, I am getting paid to do the thing that I’ve been working on for eight years,’ and this is twice — or no, this is three times what I make at my non-profit job so yeah, I’m gonna take it."
According to a tweet posted by Sean Ross Sapp posted earlier today, Mobley had been released from her position as a writer for WWE's Monday Night RAW:
WWE writer Kenice Mobley has been let go. She was in the news this week after a podcast appearance where she said she wasn't familiar with the product.

Guess it's back to her "non-profit job" with the two to three times her potential WWE Creative Writing salary pay-cut...
