WWE Banned List - Why You Can't Say These 23 Terms

18. "Performance/Performer"

The same rules apply for "Performance" and "Performer" on WWE's list.

Of course, they've defied this once or twice over the years themselves. It's hardly common however, and it's easy to see why. By calling someone cutting a promo a 'hell of a performer', the company would be totally shutting off any suspension of disbelief. It'd be like the cast pausing to applaud Joaquin Phoenix after a standout scene in Joker.

Just wouldn't happen.
