6 Words That Are Banned in WWE

#4 Passive phrases

John Cena and CM Punk are staring each other down, instead of just looking at each other.

The WWE is a competitive industry, where every day, wrestlers vie for an opportunity to be a champion, and possibly one day, main event WrestleMania.

That is why WWE commentators are instructed to avoid passive phrases, and instead, use active words that give a sense of emotion and drive to a storyline.

For example, instead of a wrestler being upset after losing, they are furious! Similarly, a wrestler may demand a championship match instead of merely asking for one.

It may not seem much, but these little word choices can make a huge difference for fans listening at home.
