The inter-gender match came to be after Scarlett Bordeaux’s “Smoke Show” segment was slated for ‘Rebellion’ and Rohit Raju voiced his displeasure about Scarlett securing a spot on the pay-per-view while he was going to be left off the show. Scarlett responded to Rohit’s rant on social media by simply asking would he like to step in the ring which has led to a match between them being made official.
My second year @IMPACTWRESTLING and I haven’t been on one major PPV, no t-shirts, and ZERO love for the DHS. Yet here we are GIVING @Lady_Scarlett13
a spot on the PPV to do that hot garbage Smoke Show. Truly “well deserved”. YOU DON’T BELONG IN THE RING! What a joke!! https://t.co/Jy3mn9K9Ga— Rohit Raju/Hakim Zane (@HakimZane) April 27, 2019
Is it? Do you really think I’m happy without a spot on a major ppv? No t-shirts, no respect? And to see others get spots that I’ve been bustin my ass to get all because of gender? You take it as you will, and let all the “knights” come out of the woodwork to defend the damsel.

Ooohhhh look. All the internet tough guys want to come out to defend poor @Lady_Scarlett13. Not to mention a bunch of loud mouth broads from the Knockouts division. Everyone is “equal” in 2019 until someone gets that equal ass whoopin. @IMPACTWRESTLING

@IMPACTWRESTLING if you think I give a damn about the blowback then you got the wrong dude. What are you gonna do? NOT give me anymore hype or face time? Then it’s no different then what you have been doin to the DHS.

@Lady_Scarlett13 wants to run her mouth. Lord knows she CAN’T KEEP IT SHUT!! Everything is all fun and games until you get hurt. Then the keyboard warriors and SJW’s pile out in droves petitioning to get me fired. A bunch of COWARDS like 90% of nimrods commenting on my post
