WWE is reportedly contemplating measures to address profane language from audiences during its televised events. Dave Meltzer, during a recent installment of Wrestling Observer Radio, disclosed that the company has had internal conversations about potentially requesting that attendees avoid swearing.
The primary concern driving these discussions, according to Meltzer, is the possibility of inappropriate language being captured on live broadcasts distributed internationally. WWE aims to manage the audio content that reaches its global viewership.
Meltzer detailed the nature of such a potential announcement:

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.’

He further offered a perspective on how contemporary fans might respond compared to past wrestling audiences.
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.
Despite these considerations, Meltzer confirmed that no official policy has been implemented nor have any public requests been made to fans regarding this matter.
That is something that has been suggested, I know that, but they don’t do it so you’re going to have that stuff.
The consideration of such a policy reflects WWE’s ongoing attention to its worldwide presentation, particularly as its events cater to a broad and increasingly family-conscious audience.
