AEW's Skye Blue tweeted the following in the wake of the harassment incident at the Edmonton, Alberta TV taping this past Wednesday:
I’m beyond overwhelmed with all the love and support. Thank you everyone you have no idea how much it’s appreciated ????

Let’s make sure the future generations of women wrestlers don’t have to deal with this shit.
Skye Blue was wrestling Rachael Ellering when a fan in the first row allegedly began making sexually-charged and harassing comments towards Blue.
When Blue and Ellering battled on the floor on the same side of the ring as the fan, the comments continued, which led to Skye telling the fan to "not be such a pervert, a**hole" and then to "f*** off", according to another fan who was sitting nearby.
We are also told that AEW referee Aubrey Edwards called for security to have a word with the fan while Blue and Ellering were battling on the floor. The fan, who was accompanied by a young child, was ejected from the arena after security had words with him.
AEW policy, which is played prior to all events, requests that fans do not partake in discriminatory or harassing behavior towards performers or other fans.
