10 Insane Things WWE Stopped Wrestlers From Doing

2. Wrestlers Are Forbidden From Being On Vickie Guerrero's Podcast

In an example of the pettiness that exists within WWE, one solitary appearance on an episode of AEW Dark by Vickie Guerrero led to all WWE personnel being forbidden from ever going on Guerrero's Excuse Me podcast.

That was a mandate put in place by WWE in February 2020, with Vickie having already featured the likes of Ruby Riott and Mandy Rose on her show by that point in time. Once Guerrero made a one-off Dark appearance, though, all WWE talent was off the table for her.

As Vickie said at the time, she was a completely free agent and nobody from WWE management had spoken to her in two years. So, when the offer of one night of work in AEW came up, she happily took it as a way to have some fun and pick up a paycheck.

Guerrero was then informed she would now no longer be able to feature contracted WWE names on Excuse Me going forward.

It's worth remembering, at this point Vickie wasn't signed by AEW and this Dark spot was just her doing some guest commentary work. It wouldn't be for a further eight months that Guerrero resurfaced in AEW as the manager of Nyla Rose.
