5 interesting old school traditions in the WWE

#2 Only veterans and top stars get to travel first class

Travel is a big part in the life of a WWE star

The most difficult thing about being a wrestler, especially in the WWE, is the gruelling schedule. WWE stars often have to stay on the road for 300+ days a year, which is why some ageing wrestlers prefer staying on in the indie scene, working a more flexible schedule.

A lot of this travelling includes air travel. A bizarre and somewhat elitist unofficial rule followed in the WWE is that only the top executives, like Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, and a few veterans like The Undertaker and John Cena are allowed to travel first class. Some wrestlers like Brock Lesner have first class travel arrangements included in their contract. The rest of the wrestlers only get to travel coach.

There is a lesser-heard, unconfirmed story about Bill DeMott getting annoyed with Christian for trying to book a first class ticket before other senior wrestlers could. With Bill DeMott parting ways with the company after allegations of bullying and abuse, there might be an ounce of truth to this rumour.
