New WWE writer Kenice Mobley appeared on the Asian Not Asian podcast recently and stated that she was not required to know anything about wrestling before being hired as a writer for WWE. Mobley is a standup comedian and film producer from Brooklyn and appeared on the podcast earlier this month.
“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,” she said (Transcriptions via Post Wrestling).
Mobley continued to say that she has been assigned to the writing team for RAW. At the time of the podcast, she had yet to start on the team. She spoke about Bobby Lashley and the Hurt Business while on the podcast.
“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.’”
