Going to a live WWE show is a blast. It's loud, exciting, and you’re part of the action. But remember, you're there with thousands of other fans. So, how you act matters.

This guide covers the basic rules, what WWE expects from you, and some common sense stuff to help everyone have a good time.

These tips work whether you're at Raw, SmackDown, a house show, or even WrestleMania.

Why WWE Fan Etiquette Is Important

WWE crowds are key to the show's vibe. Their chants, reactions, and overall energy really make the atmosphere. Still, bad behavior can spoil the fun for everyone else.

Being a good fan means:

• The ring should be visible to everyone.

• We want families to feel at ease.

• Our goal is for wrestlers and staff to be safe.

• We aim to keep the event fun and accessible for all.

1. Be Loud - But Be Respectful

What’s Encouraged

• Rooting for your favorite wrestlers.

• Booing the bad guys (but keep it civil).

• Joining in with the crowd chants.

What to Avoid

• No personal attacks.

• Don't harass other fans.

• Avoid offensive or discriminatory language.

Bring your passion; leave the hostility at the door.

2. Chant Etiquette: Timing Matters

WWE chants are a core part of the experience, but getting the timing right is key.

Good Chant Moments

• Wrestler entrances can amp up the crowd.

• Big spots or near-falls get people excited.

• Sometimes matches have slow moments.

Poor Chant Moments

• During emotional advertisements,

• During serious parts,

• Over personal or tough stories.

When people chant just to be disruptive, it can ruin the experience for other fans.

3. Sign Etiquette: Don’t Block the View

Feel free to put up signs, just be cool about it.

Sign Rules to Follow

• Make your signs poster-sized.

• Hold signs up for a short time. Don't keep them up all the time.

• Put signs down when matches begin.

• Make sure you aren't blocking cameras or other fans.

If security asks you to take your sign down, please do it right away.

4. Respect Other Fans (Especially Families)

What makes WWE events so popular:

• Kids

• New fans

• Families

Basic Courtesy Rules

• Keep your language respectful.

• Don't act aggressively.

• Avoid shoving or pushing people.

• Be patient when waiting in lines.

People have different goals, so keep that in mind.

5. Don’t Throw Objects (Ever)

Do not throw things into the ring or crowd.

This means:

• Drinks

• Food

• Merchandise

• Any foreign objects

Breaking the rules means you'll be kicked out right away.

6. Follow Arena & Security Rules

Every WWE show goes like this:

• WWE guidelines

• Venue-specific policies

Always comply with:

• Bag restrictions

• Camera rules

• Seating instructions

• Security requests

Fighting with employees could get you kicked out.

7. Phone & Camera Etiquette

Allowed

• Photos

• Short video clips

• Social media posting

Not Allowed

• Professional cameras

• Long, continuous recording

• Blocking views with your phone

Just enjoy the moment instead of watching the whole show through your phone.

8. Alcohol & Behavior

You can buy alcohol at most WWE shows.

Okay, so about drinking:

• Know your limits

• Stay respectful

• Avoid confrontations

If you're removed from the event because you're drunk, you won't get your money back.

9. Respect Wrestlers as Performers and People

Wrestlers, at their core, are entertainers, but it's important to remember they're people too.

Not Acceptable

• Personal threats

• Harassment

• References to real-life tragedies

• Invading personal space

It's okay to cheer for or against characters, but leave real people out of it.

10. Leave When the Show Ends (Not Early)

If it's not needed:

• Stick around until the end.

• Don't rush out during the best part.

• Show respect to the performers by staying for the finale.

Even if it's late in the match, wrestlers are aware of what the crowd is doing.
