Steiner's alleged comments have landed him in hot water

Earlier today, Gisele Shaw shared an account of her interaction with Rick Steiner after the WWE Hall of Famer verbally accosted her.

Steiner allegedly passed transphobic comments and proceeded to yell at the Impact Wrestling star at WrestleCon. The situation was soon diffused by people present at the venue after Steiner had repeatedly hurled some hateful phrases at Shaw.

"I was at an autograph signing today at Wrestlecon and while I was walking to my table, I hear someone yelling 'you're a man,' 'you're a dude,' 'you're a piece of trash,' 'You are filth,' 'get the f*ck away from here.' I kept my head down and kept walking as I did not want to acknowledge that hate. When I arrived at my table, I spoke to another Impact Wrestling talent who was at the signing with me and mentioned the incident. It didn't sit well with me and I wanted to know who was saying that because it's unacceptable," wrote Gisele Shaw.

AEW star Kip Sabian was one of the first to share his concerns regarding the incident:
