6 Words That Are Banned in WWE

#2 Heel/Face

Hulk Hogan forming the nWo in 1996 is one of the most iconic 'heel turns of all time.

Similar to not using the word performance, the use of insider terms is banned, in an effort to hide the fact that the show is a production with fictional characters.

In case you didn't know, a heel is the insider term for a bad guy, who uses villainous tactics to win.

Similarly, a face, also known as a babyface is a term for a good guy, who honours the rules and is cheered by the fans.

Instead, characters are described via adjectives, such as "the cowardly Miz" or "the beloved Daniel Bryan."
