AEW has removed a match from this week’s episode of their YouTube series AEW Dark after some controversial tweets from one of the involving wrestlers have come to light.

Indie wrestler Clutch Adams was announced to face the self-proclaimed chairman of the company Shawn Spears in a one on one match this week.

However, the company vice president Cody Rhodes was made aware of a series of tweets containing homophobic and racial slurs made by the wrestler seven years ago by the fans.

After this revelation, the AEW official announced on Twitter that Adams’ match has been removed from the upcoming episode of Dark and the company’s official twitter confirmed the same:

His match has been removed.

Clutch Adams’ had made his AEW debut during the May 19th episode of Dark where he competed against QT Marshall. There is no news on his future with the company but he is most likely done with the promotion.

It appears that the indie stars’ Twitter profile has since been deleted or made private as it’s no longer accessible. Below is the updated line up for the AEW Dark episode for Tuesday:

  • Billy Gunn with Austin Gunn vs. John Skyler
  • Brandon Cutler and Peter Avalon with Leva Bates vs. QT Marshall and Dustin Rhodes with Brandi Rhodes
  • The Butcher and The Blade with The Bunny vs. Jon Cruz and Joe Alonzo
  • Santana and Ortiz vs. Big Game Leroy and EJ Lewis
