'Don't swear because it's going to ruin the TV show': WWE requests fans to refrain from swearing at live events
(Image via WWE)
WWE is currently working to clean up the crowd noise in a literal sense. To uphold its family-friendly image and comply with the broadcast and censorship rules, WWE is reportedly requesting and asking fans to refrain from swearing during live televised events.
This initiative aligns with the company's longstanding commitment to TV-PG programming, which emphasizes content suitable for a broad audience, including children. The move comes after increasing concerns over the use of explicit language from both performers and audiences.
The use of strong language during live broadcasts has highlighted the challenges WWE faces in maintaining its PG standards. Such instances have led to network interventions, including muting audio and censoring visuals, and this step is required for the company to comply with television broadcasting guidelines, owing to its target audience.
WWE requests fans to refrain from swearing at live events
WWE has reportedly asked fans to refrain from swearing at live events to maintain broadcasting compliance. This is not the first time that the company has decided to take such an important step to ask people to avoid profanity.
Earlier,
WWE
addressed this issue by holding mandatory meetings with talent, reminding them to be mindful of their language on camera, and now it is expecting the same from its fans, too.
In a recent episode of
Wrestling Observer Radio
,
Dave Meltzer
asserted that the company has discussed possibly asking fans in attendance at televised events to refrain from swearing during the show.

Wrestling Observer Radio Live with Dave Meltzer & Bryan Alvarez
Meltzer said, 'People have actually suggested this, of just like making an announcement of, 'Hey, we're here. It's a TV show. It's going all over the world. We want you to have fun, don't swear because it's going to ruin the TV show.''
While nothing has been officially implemented, Meltzer revealed that the idea has been brought up behind the scenes. He explained that WWE is concerned about inappropriate language being picked up on live broadcasts that air around the world.
'Hey Rock, Go F*** Yourself!'
He further stated that, 'In the past, if they had done that, the audience would have then started swearing because they wouldn't want to be controlled. But I think this audience is mature enough and smart enough and everything like that that if you told them that I think they might be okay with it.'
Meltzer also stated that nothing has been officially declared yet by the company. 'That is something that has been suggested, I know that, but they don't do it so you're going to have that stuff,' he noted.

Anusha Mani: Art brings people together , AI can't replace that
Anusha Mani, celebrated for her distinctive voice in Bollywood hits, is venturing into acting with the OTT series 'Hai Junoon.' She expresses concerns about AI's growing influence on music creation, emphasizing the importance of human collaboration and the spiritual essence of art. With a voice that has defined hits like Gulaabo, Tera Rasta Chhodoon Na, and Lazy Lamhe and many others, Anusha Mani has long been popular name in film music. Known for her unique tone, heartfelt delivery, and the emotional depth she brings to her performances, Anusha recently added a new feather to her creative cap: her acting debut in the OTT series Hai Junoon. In a candid conversation, the playback singer-turned-actor opens up about the evolving music landscape in the age of AI, the thrill of live concerts, her personal rituals, and what truly brings her joy offstage. Anusha Mani in the OTT series Hai Junoon AI is rapidly entering the music space, from voice cloning to composing melodies. How do you see it shaping the future of music and the role of musicians? I think this is the most dangerous aspect of AI. Music creation is a spiritual experience, extremely collaborative and immersive. To achieve the same results through technology is a mockery of the art form. Being an artist, it's hard enough to sustain in this industry as self-employed freelancers, and to have AI come and take over is as scary as this world can get for an artist.' Would you ever consider working with AI-generated music or tracks? Being true to my beliefs is very important to me. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Creating music is a collaborative experience, and art brings people together in a way nothing else can. In a world where people are more lonely than ever, I would never encourage or be a part of an AI-generated track. How different is the energy of a live performance compared to a studio recording? Do you have any pre-concert rituals? The experiences are poles apart. A live recording is a very intimate experience. A few people creating a song and putting their talent and creative ideas into a collaborative effort. You can take your time to evaluate, erase, change, or repeat until you're satisfied with the job. A live concert is all about being present in the moment, it's instant gratification. There's no room for errors or any possibility of rectifying it. The highs of a live show are incomparable. Pre-concert ritual is a vocal warm-up, breathing exercises, some stretches or cardio if I have the time or energy, and a small prayer of gratitude to the universe, and a prayer to keep everyone on stage safe. You've performed everywhere, from weddings to major festivals. Is there a performance that has stayed with you creatively or emotionally? There isn't one single venue or event. Each one brings its own set of challenges and wins. Like a wedding gig where the audience enjoyed thumris -- where mostly people just want to dance -- or a BMP festival where I did a tribute to the 90s pop era, the joy and nostalgia I saw in people's eyes was really gratifying. Do you tailor your setlists for different cities and audiences, or is it mostly fixed in advance? We have a fixed set list that is rehearsed and set for every show. We do sometimes incorporate regional songs — like doing a Tamil song in Chennai — or switch the set list if people want to just listen to songs instead of dancing. I break into some ghazals or ballads if I feel like the audience really wants an immersive experience rather than a party atmosphere. Looking back at your journey, what were some turning points that shaped your musical career? I think singing songs like Lazy Lamhe, Tera Rasta, to Gulaabo — there's been some variety in the songs I've sung. I think the journey is long, yet to be explored, and I'm very excited to be working and finding new avenues to bring my art to the world through music, and now acting.' What does a perfect day off look like for Anusha Mani? A day off basically means a lot of playtime with my four-legged child, Buddy, at home, a good nap while watching murder documentaries, hanging out with my family, or cleaning my house.

Vitaly Zdorovetskiy: Russian-American Youtuber jailed in Philippines, globally unwelcome
Vitaly Zdorovetskiy , known to millions as 'VitalyzdTv,' has long been infamous for his outrageous pranks and viral stunts. But in 2025, the Russian-American YouTuber's penchant for controversy reached a breaking point, getting detained in the Philippines, rejected by both Russia and the United States, and facing a future more uncertain than ever. Born in Russia in 1992, Zdorovetskiy moved to the U.S. as a child and rose to fame with prank videos that often pushed the boundaries of legality and taste. His YouTube channel amassed over 10 million subscribers, with content ranging from fake bomb scares to pitch invasions at major sporting events. His early life was marked by odd jobs and even a brief stint in adult entertainment. Crimes and arrests Vitaly Zdorovetskiy's career has been marked by a series of high-profile arrests and criminal charges, both in the United States and abroad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Indonesia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo 2014 FIFA World Cup Final Arrest (Brazil): In July 2014, Zdorovetskiy invaded the field during the FIFA World Cup Final between Germany and Argentina in Brazil. His stunt garnered global media attention and resulted in his arrest by Brazilian authorities for trespassing on the pitch during one of the world's most-watched sporting events. Live Events May 25, 2016 – Hollywood Sign Trespassing: Zdorovetskiy was arrested for trespassing after climbing onto the iconic Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles as part of a video stunt. He spent about an hour vlogging from the sign before being detained by park rangers and released on bail. He faced potential fines and up to six months in county jail for the misdemeanor, as the site is closed to the public and protected by law enforcement. June 10, 2016 – NBA Finals Streaking Arrest: Just weeks later, on June 10, 2016, Zdorovetskiy was arrested again for streaking during Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors. The high-profile stunt led to his immediate arrest for trespassing and disrupting a major sporting event. 2017 World Series Arrest (Houston, USA): On October 29, 2017, Zdorovetskiy was arrested after running onto the field at Minute Maid Park during Game 5 of the 2017 World Series, shortly after a home run by Carlos Correa of the Houston Astros. He was taken into custody for trespassing and disrupting the game. 2020 – Aggravated Battery Arrest : In 2020, Zdorovetskiy was arrested for aggravated battery in Miami Beach, Florida, following an alleged unprovoked attack on a female jogger. He was booked and released on bond. This incident drew significant media attention and criticism. 2025 – Arrest and Multiple Charges in the Philippines: His most serious legal troubles began in April 2025, when he was arrested in the Philippines after livestreaming a spree of disruptive and criminal acts in Manila's Bonifacio Global City. The charges include: Harassing and attempting to kiss security guards Attempting to grab a security guard's firearm Stealing a patrol motorcycle, an electric fan, and a tricycle Threatening to rob a woman in public Trespassing and recording people without consent Fabricating negative reviews about local businesses Vandalism, unjust vexation, burglary, theft, and alarm and scandal He faces up to 24 years in prison in the Philippines, with five separate charges that could each result in a minimum of five years if convicted. His deportation has been blocked as both Russia and the United States have refused to accept him, leaving him to face trial and potential jail time in the Philippines. Neither Russia nor America will take him The fallout from his actions has been severe. Philippine authorities declared him an 'undesirable foreign national' and sought to deport him, but both Russia and the United States refused to accept him. Russia has reportedly 'disowned' Zdorovetskiy, with officials stressing that he must face justice in the Philippines and warning Russian tourists to respect local laws. Meanwhile, as a U.S. green card holder—not a citizen—the U.S. also declined to intervene or accept his return. 'Our problem is that Russia is not accepting him, neither does the US where he is a green card holder. So we don't know where to send him,' said Philippine Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla With no country willing to claim him, Zdorovetskiy remains in detention in Manila, awaiting trial and possible imprisonment.
