6 Words That Are Banned in WWE

#1 Wrestler

An annual 'superstar' shake-up allows for rosters to change.

It seems backwards, that the biggest professional wrestling in the world, would ban the use of the word wrestler.

However, it makes sense when you think of the WWE as the marketing powerhouse that it is.

When you hear that someone is a wrestler, they could be in any company. Are they an Impact wrestler? A wrestler for Ring of Honor? Or New Japan? Or perhaps they're a wrestler for Lucha Underground?

But when you hear of a superstar, you know instantly what company they work for.

The same principle used to be given to the Divas division, as the name was synonymous with the WWE, until the term was retired in 2016.
