Report: WWE Threatened To Ban Fans Wearing AEW Merch From Raw

WrestleZone is reporting that WWE staff threatened fans facing the hard camera at Raw with being kicked out of the arena if they were seen to be wearing AEW merchandise.

WrestleZone’s John Clark was in attendance at last night’s show, and reported that fans near the entrance ramp and at ringside were threatened with being ejected.

“WWE officials told the crowd that was near the stage and entryway that they would definitely wind up on television and that anyone that puts on an AEW shirt or sign will be thrown out of the arena. It’s a move that shows just how seriously WWE is taking their competitor.”

This is not the first time there has been a report of this, as fans were reportedly threatened with the same treatment at a SmackDown Live show in January 2019, just after AEW was officially launched.

It’s a difficult one, because you can sort of understand why WWE don’t want the logo of their biggest competitor displayed on their shows, but on the other hand, it’s a wrestling shirt at a wrestling show.

Let us know your thoughts on the matter in the comments. Do you think this is a fair reaction, or is WWE going too far?
