WWE Writer Let Go Over Controversial Statements
That wasn’t going to work. WWE has a lot of people working together to put on the best show possible. That may not always work as well as planned, but there are a bunch of people putting in the work. If one of them makes the rest of the group look bad, it is not going to sit well with the rest. You could see that this week, and now someone involved is off the team.
Earlier this month, new Monday Night Raw writer Kenice Mobley gave an interview in which she mentioned that she knew almost nothing about WWE when she was hired by the company. This included not even being certain about Bobby Lashley’s real name. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Mobley has been let go from the company due to an “internal concern”. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Mobley was in trouble for speaking on topics WWE did not want known.
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.

For what it's worth, I'm told fan reaction to Kenice Mobley's podcast appearance had little to nothing to do with the decision for WWE to let her go. I was told it was more of an internal concern. What she was told, I'm not sure.

Opinion: This is a situation where both sides have done something questionable. WWE hiring people with no knowledge of wrestling is going to raise some eyebrows, as people finding out about it was always going to happen. At the same time though, Mobley saying that WWE hired her when she knows nothing about wrestling is only going to make WWE look bad, which is never something you want to do to your employer. This was a mess from the beginning and Mobley being gone makes sense, but WWE isn’t likely to change their policy whatsoever.
