Hold onto your steel chairs, folks, because we’ve got a story that’s more chaotic than a Royal Rumble! Rapper Sexyy Red, who’s been lighting up WWE NXT as the show’s host, found herself in the spotlight for an entirely different reason. TMZ dropped the bombshell that Red was arrested after a brawl at New Jersey’s Liberty International Airport, just days before her big hosting gig at NXT Battleground.
The Airport Brawl: WWE Drama Goes Real
According to TMZ, this past Saturday, Red was caught in the middle of a wild fight at the airport. Video footage shows a person, identified by TMZ as Red, jumping into the fray with a metal stand in hand, ready to lay the smackdown. Chaos ensued, and after being pushed over, she dropped the stand and vanished from the frame. The Port Authority confirmed that Red was charged with disorderly conduct, while others were hit with assault charges.
Red’s Denial and Jail Release
Adding a twist to the tale, Red took to social media to claim she wasn’t the woman with the stand, despite TMZ’s identification. Earlier in the weekend, she’d posted about being released from jail and even offered to replace a phone broken during the brawl. Whether she was involved or not, one thing’s for sure—Red knows how to keep things spicy!
Showtime in Vegas
Despite the airport drama, Red managed to jet off to Las Vegas in time to fulfill her hosting duties at NXT Battleground. She appeared in multiple backstage segments and celebrated with Trick Williams after he successfully defended the NXT Championship against Ethan Page. WWE fans were none the wiser about her airport escapade until the news broke.
WWE’s Reaction: TBD
At this moment, it’s unclear if WWE knew about Red’s arrest before or if they were as surprised as the rest of us when the video surfaced. One thing is certain, though—Sexyy Red’s weekend was a whirlwind of drama both inside and outside the ring!
