WWE Confiscated Fan-Made Sign Featuring The Fiend At SummerSlam

WWE Confiscated Fan-Made Sign Featuring The Fiend At SummerSlam

Bray Wyatt was set to return to WWE earlier this month to build up a match for SummerSlam but was surprisingly released just days after being medically cleared. Since then, fans have frequently been chanting “We Want Wyatt” to let WWE know they opposed the decision, and during the SummerSlam pre-show, one fan succeeded in getting a sign-on screen featuring Wyatt’s alter ego The Fiend in a Las Vegas Raiders logo.

Fans who were watching Big E vs. Baron Corbin would delight at the sign, with many pointing it out on social media. Wyatt himself, now going the name Windham even retweeted a screenshot to his followers. However, once the actual pay-per-view started, the sign was gone, with it now reported by those in attendance that WWE confiscated the sign from the mischievous fan.

While many people have called WWE petty, removing signs is nothing new for the company as they like to control everything that appears on television. In the past, fans wearing AEW shirts have been requested they turn them inside out, and during the ThunderDome era, there was a team whose responsibility was to monitor the screens. So the fact the sign actually made it to air for as long as it did was actually remarkable considering how strict WWE usually is with this type of behavior.
