Instructions included “not to reply to fans in the comments”, “not to speculate on rumors or future storylines”, “to always represent WWE and talent in a positive light”, and to “be sensitive of the language used and how it may be interpreted by dirt sheets”.
Here’s the list of banned terms that was included:
