On Tuesday night, a family was reportedly thrown out of a taping of WWE’s Smackdown at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla. after two young boys yelled the N-word at Roman Reigns.

According to Wrestling News, an argument took place in the section where the family was sitting between the mother of the boys who yelled the word and several people who objected to it. Spectators snapped photos of the boys and posted them on social media as the mother reportedly refused to discipline them for what they had done. At that point, security reportedly paid the family a visit and, after finding out what had allegedly happened, they made the decision to escort the family out of the arena.

We reached out to the WWE for a comment and will let you know if we hear anything further regarding the situation.
