AEW has been full of controversial moments since launching in 2019. Tony Khan and his rosters are the constant subject of criticism from fans and industry insiders, and now there's heat for what some called one of the worst mainstream moments in wrestling history. A shocked Dutch Mantell has just weighed in.

All Elite Wrestling presented its sixth annual Revolution PPV on Sunday in Los Angeles at the Crypto.com Arena. Several celebrities were in attendance, and AEW put effort into touting their presence. There were also celebrities present from the new Queen of the Ring movie, which is a biopic on the legendary Mildred Burke. Tony Schiavone interviewed cast members on the Zero Hour pre-show, and Damaris Lewis made a comment about wrestlers knowing they're going to win ahead of time. The actress, who stars in QOTR as former NWA star Babs Wingo, was immediately blasted on social media.

Dirty Dutch did not catch the Damaris Lewis controversy live on Revolution, but he was left a bit speechless when his co-host informed him of what happened on the latest episode of Story Time with Dutch.

"Oh... [sighs, shakes head] that is embarrassing. I'm thinking they didn't go over this or what they were gonna say before they interviewed them. You can't do this again, or you could I guess, but I mean, it's... so they were in the movie, Queen of the Ring, that's about Mildred Burke?" Dutch Mantell said. [From 1:06:30 to 1:06:54]

Dutch's co-host noted how these were not top-billed actors from the movie, and how none of the main stars promoted the film on AEW programming. Khan has also been criticized for not capitalizing on Kamille's role in the movie. Mantell's co-host pointed to how stunned Tony Schiavone appeared and called this the most embarrassing seven seconds in AEW history.

"I don't know if it's... hey, AEW's had some... that should be a show on its own. ... It is what it is," Dutch Mantell said. [From 1:08:05 to 1:08:16]

Kamille later defended the comments made by her Queen of the Ring co-star. The former NWA World Women's Champion stars in the movie as June Byers.
