Hundreds of children who are members of the Boys and Girls Club of America got more than they bargained for on Friday night after showing up to day two of WWE Fan Axxess at the Izod Center as WWE Superstars Brodus Clay and Tensai, among others, graced the stage to educate the youth on the dangers of bullying with an anti-bullying rally.
“Basically we’re here today for the ‘Be A Star’ anti-bullying program, which is anti-bullying acceptance,” said Clay. “I think it’s important as [the kids] see us on TV every week that we go on and get back to real issues, real things that are important to kids today,” said Clay.
WWE Diva Naomi echoed her peers’ sentiments, noting that a sense of camaraderie helps those being bullied to deal with the issue at hand.
“[This program] helps bring awareness to bullying. It happens all the time and sometimes [the kids] are too scared [or] too nervous to say something,” said WWE Diva Naomi. She continued “It’s us as WWE Superstars and Divas to come here and be able to promote that and [show them] you know what it’s ok to stand up to one-another [and tell] a grown up.”
