Yes, you're welcome to bring signs to WWE shows. They've been a part of the experience for years!
Signs, along with creative chants, are a big part of WWE events. You're generally allowed to bring them to live shows, but there are some rules to keep in mind so your sign doesn't get taken away.
This guide will tell you what kind of signs are okay, what's not allowed, and the right way to bring one.

Yes, WWE does allow fans to bring signs to events:
WWE Raw
WWE SmackDown
WWE Live (house shows)
Premium Live Events (including WrestleMania)
Arena security and WWE staff have the last word on show day.
While exact rules vary by venue, most arenas allow signs that are:
Requirement | Guideline |
|---|---|
Max size | Poster-board size |
Thickness | Lightweight cardboard |
Materials | Paper or thin poster board |
Big signs? Probably not okay, especially if they're blocking someone's view.
Your sign can't have these things:
Profanity or vulgar language
Hate speech or discriminatory content
Threats or violent messages
Political statements
Advertising or promotional links
References to tragedies or real-world harm
Signs breaking the rules will be taken away right away.

Just because you're allowed to put up a sign doesn't mean...
Holding it up for long periods is discouraged
Blocking cameras or sightlines can get you warned
Repeated obstruction may result in removal
Pro Tip: Only raise your sign when people are coming in or during important moments.
Yes, security can:
Inspect signs at the entrance
Ask you to put it down
Confiscate it if it violates rules
The WWE crew might ask fans to put down their signs if they're getting in the way of the TV cameras.
Yeah, but they're really cracking down on the rules now.
Think big wrestling events like WrestleMania:
Cameras are everywhere
Sightline protection is stricter
Large signs are more likely to be banned
At stadium shows, simple, smaller signs are the way to go.
Nope.
WWE doesn't allow:
LED signs
Light-up boards
Electronic displays
These items can mess with the cameras and lights.

Use bold, dark letters.
Keep your message brief.
Don't use jokes only a few will get.
Make sure it's easy to read from far away.
You'll see simple signs on TV way more than complex ones.

Signs WWE cameras often show include:
Catchphrases
Superstar support signs
Clever wordplay
Event-specific messages
Keep signs upbeat or funny to make sure people pay attention to them.
Yep, WWE events are totally family-friendly. You'll often see lots of kids there holding up signs.
Make sure:
The sign is easy to carry.
It won't get in anyone's way.
The message is suitable.
Okay, I understand.
Every arena has its own rules.
When at a WWE event, the WWE rules plus the venue's rules will be what we go by.
Make sure you look at the venue's website before you go.
Rules can change from show to show.
Sure, just make sure it meets the size and content guidelines.
Unless it breaks the rules or stops others from sharing what they think.
Yes, but production might ask you to reduce them.
To keep things orderly, it's best if each person only carries one sign.
Yes, fans can bring signs to WWE events and show their support, as long as they keep it appropriate.
Keep signs small and to the point.
Don't use signs to display offensive or political messages.
Make sure your sign doesn't block the view of other fans or cameras.
Pay attention to any specific rules that the venue has about signs.
A good sign might show up on TV, in pictures, or even become a memorable part of WWE history.
