AEW Shirts BANNED From WWE ThunderDome
The Thunderdome is definitely not All Elite.
WWE will not allow fans to wear AEW shirts or merchandise during their broadcasts in the ThunderDome, according to multiple Reddit users.
Last night, fans from all around the world were beamed into WWE's brand new virtual arena for the SummerSlam go-home edition of Friday Night SmackDown on FOX.
However, the night before the official unveiling of the ThunderDome, an invite-only rehearsal took place in the new environment and those who attended this first look caught wind of some information regarding what shirts were allowed to be worn on screen.
Reddit user subdude_ managed to record part of a conversation between WWE staff which included AEW merchandise being classed as 'not okay'. The recording can be heard here.
Also, the technical team in charge of the state of the art ThunderDome will have the ability to kick out anyone who doesn't display appropriate behaviour or follow protocol during the show. Following on from this, Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet mentioned on Twitter that certain behaviour will be subject to a fine due to fans having to agree to act responsibly throughout the broadcast:
So, in other words, don't do anything you wouldn't do if you were actually present at a live show or you'll feel the true wrath of the ThunderDome!
