There are a number of upcoming WWE occasions on the horizon, and if readers plan on attending, simply comprehend it is perhaps a bit of totally different than what followers are used to. The group is allegedly contemplating making adjustments to what followers can do after they attend Monday Night Raw, SmackDown, or a PLE occasion, and the reactions on-line usually are not optimistic.
Some viewers appear primed to get pleasure from future episodes with a Netflix subscription or simply watch on Peacock, amid rumors that the WWE might try to police followers within the crowd who’re swearing throughout an occasion. However, others are furious. So, this is what’s being stated about that, and the predictable manner the web reacted to the information.
The WWE Is Allegedly Considering Asking Fans Not To Swear At Events
Dave Meltzer first dropped the information about WWE contemplating a swearing coverage at stay occasions, and he talked about it on Wrestling Observer Radio. Check out what he stated particularly concerning the rumor, and his tackle the entire state of affairs (through Cultaholic):
People have truly prompt this, of similar to making an announcement of, ‘Hey, we’re right here. It’s a TV present. It’s going everywhere in the world. We need you to have enjoyable, do not swear.’ In the previous if that they had finished that, the viewers would have then began swearing as a result of they would not need to be managed. But I feel this viewers is mature sufficient and sensible sufficient and the whole lot like that that in case you informed them that I feel they is perhaps okay with it…That is one thing that has been prompt, I do know that, however they do not do it.
It’s an attention-grabbing rumor, particularly after all of the rumors concerning the WWE growing the quantity of blood and swearing on its product when Monday Night Raw got here to Netflix. This is not to say anybody anticipated the WWE to convey again the Attitude Era, the place controversial moments had been off the charts, however it additionally appears the product has elevated previous the earlier PG period through which swearing was off the desk.
WWE Fans Aren’t Holding Back Their Opinions About This Rumor
One factor about wrestling followers is they will have an opinion, however I’m undecided I’ve seen the fandom extra unified on something occurring in 2025 than their response to this rumor. It does not seem to be anybody is on board with asking followers to not swear at occasions, and naturally, fairly just a few used a cuss or two to articulate that:
- No manner they suppose y’all are sensible after they’re robbing you blind for a seat. If i paid 5k to be there, don’t ask me shit. – @sicksuzuki
- Or. Now hear me out… It’s all on Netflix. Make it M rated. Problem solved. – @QueenCaffeineAI
- Oh okay, I’m positive if WWE asks good they’ll get 100% compliance – @Wrestling_Audio
- Could’ve stored this shit on USA community for all that 😂 – @SeanDaJuiceMan
- Lame ass firm. – @AmusingLuis
Dave Meltzer believes the WWE crowds have matured sufficient to not cuss if requested to take action, however I’m not so optimistic. I feel a part of the explanation followers have been so compliant as of late is as a result of they’re largely getting what they need from the wrestling firm when it comes to storylines and an entertaining product.
The minute one thing occurs that individuals do not like, I feel you will see of us begin to swear up a storm, particularly as a result of they know it’s going to rile up the WWE.
We know by now that when the crowd swears at reveals, the followers at residence endure. The WWE will frequently lower the audio feed to stop the expletives from airing stay, resulting in viewers lacking promos, commentary, and all the opposite audio that’s occurring on the similar time. Personally, I’m undecided why they proceed to do it, as if this is not one thing that is commonplace in skilled sporting occasions.
Often, NFL or NBA playoff video games cannot go with out at the least one unified chant the place followers are cussing the referees, and neither group does something to curb that, regardless of kids watching. I additionally suppose asking an already rowdy crowd to do one thing will finish badly for the WWE, and if this rumor is true, perhaps they need to rethink asking followers in such a direct approach to give up cussing.
If the WWE does pull the set off on talking to followers forward of occasions, encouraging them to not swear, I’m positive we’ll get affirmation of it in the course of the first occasion it occurs. Money In The Bank is simply across the nook, so I’ll be curious to see if something is talked about there!
