WWE Fans Outraged Over Rumored No-Swear Policy at Live Events!

by

Keep in mind that there are several WWE events on the horizon, and if you’re thinking about attending, be aware that it might be a bit different from what fans have come to expect. It seems the organization is contemplating modifications to audience interaction at Monday Night Raw, SmackDown, or a PLE event, and the response online has been mostly negative.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I find myself eagerly anticipating upcoming episodes, whether I stream them on Netflix or Peacock, amidst whispers that the WWE might crack down on rowdy fans who curse during events. Yet, the response from some fans is far from tame. Let me share with you the buzz surrounding this issue and how the internet has reacted to this recent news.

The WWE Is Allegedly Considering Asking Fans Not To Swear At Events

1. The possibility of a swearing policy change: According to Meltzer, there have been discussions within WWE regarding implementing a new rule that would restrict profanity at live events.
2. His take on the rumor: While Meltzer acknowledges these conversations are taking place, he emphasizes that they’re still in the early stages and nothing has been officially decided yet.
3. The significance of this change (if implemented): If enacted, such a policy could potentially alter the dynamic between performers and audiences during live events by encouraging more family-friendly interactions.

A proposal has been made to openly declare, “Greetings! We’re a global TV show. Let’s keep it fun and clean; no swearing please.” In the past, such an approach might have incited more swearing from the audience due to feelings of control. However, I believe the current audience is sophisticated and intelligent enough to handle this request without issue…While this idea has been floated, it remains unimplemented in practice.

There’s been an intriguing buzz surrounding the WWE, following rumors about a potential rise in graphic content and explicit language on their shows, given that Monday Night Raw is now available on Netflix. It’s worth noting that this doesn’t necessarily imply a return to the Attitude Era, known for its extreme controversies. However, it does seem that the WWE has moved beyond the PG era, where swearing was strictly prohibited.

WWE Fans Aren’t Holding Back Their Opinions About This Rumor

Among wrestling enthusiasts, there’s always going to be an opinion, but I haven’t observed the fanbase more in agreement about something from 2025 than their reaction to this rumor. It appears as if no one is backing the idea of asking fans to refrain from swearing at events, and predictably, many expressed their disagreement with a curse word or two.

  • No way they think y’all are smart when 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 ok, I’m sure if WWE asks nice they’ll get 100% compliance – @Wrestling_Audio
  • Could’ve kept this shit on USA network for all that 😂 – @SeanDaJuiceMan
  • Lame ass company. – @AmusingLuis

Dave Meltzer expresses doubt about WWE crowds being able to refrain from swearing upon request, contrasting with his belief that they have grown more mature. However, he suggests one possible reason for their recent compliance might be that the wrestling company has been meeting fan expectations in terms of engaging storylines and an enjoyable product.

Whenever an event occurs that people find displeasing, it seems as though they might break into profanity, primarily due to their understanding that this will stir up the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

Stephanie McMahon talked about a tattoo design connected with wrestling that she decided against getting, but secretly regrets not having it.

It’s become clear that when a crowd curses during live shows, viewers watching from home are affected. The WWE regularly mutes the audio broadcast to prevent swear words from being heard immediately, which sometimes means fans miss important promos, commentary, and other simultaneous audio content. To be honest, I don’t understand why they persist with this practice, as it’s not unusual for such language to be used in professional sports events.

Frequently, during NFL or NBA playoff matches, there’s at least one unified outburst of swearing directed at the referees, and neither organization seems to take any action to prevent this, even though children are usually present. Similarly, I suspect that asking an already boisterous WWE crowd to behave in a specific way would lead to negative results. If the rumor about the WWE is true, perhaps they should reconsider their direct request for fans to stop swearing.

If WWE decides to address fans about avoiding profanity prior to events, I’m confident that we’ll learn about it in the first event where such a thing occurs. With Money In The Bank approaching swiftly, I’m eager to see whether any announcement will be made during this event!
