The wrestling world has joined the world in reacting to the incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock at Sunday’s Oscars.
Rock made a G1 Jane joke regarding Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, as she lost her hair due to alopecia. After initially laughing, Will looked over at his wife and noticed she was upset so he got up and slapped Rock in the face before sitting down and telling Rock to keep his wife’s name out of his mouth.
Wrestlers took to social media to post their reactions.

I can’t believe Wardlow told Will to do that.
