I didn’t think WWE was actually forcing people to take off their @AEWrestling shirts until I saw it happen right in front of me. pic.twitter.com/iibbguXa7p

Will WWE make a statement on tonight as they did previously with the Smack Down Taping

The WWE released a statement at the time of the incidents earlier this month stating there was no directive to security to have fans barred from entering the building wearing All Elite Wrestling merchandise.

Judging by the video footage released tonight, it seems fans who have a chance to be shown on camera are asked to remove any signs of AEW logos, i wonder why that is.

Thanks for stopping by.
