Former NXT Champion Samoa Joe recently took to Twitter to comment on the WWE Mixed Match Challenge. Joe said that he will now have an official towel attendant for himself ringside thanks to the tournament. Many took the comment to be sexist and Joe received quite a bit of heat for it:
*Special Announcement*
Due to the impending #WWEMMC , I will now have a full time towel attendant ringside while I pummel the other male participants in the tournament unconscious.
Thank you,

How you interpret it is your business does not matter if it is a man, woman, or alien (extraterrestrial if you must). You stand in the corner hold my towel and don’t mess up my tournament run. I have equal opportunity disdain for all just in case anyone feels left out.
