Several People In WWE ‘Unhappy’ With Celebrity Appearance

Several people in WWE were reportedly “unhappy” with a celebrity’s appearance on the May 26 episode of Raw.

Celebrities appearing on Monday Night Raw has been a regular occurrence since the show’s move to Netflix in January, with many of those featuring on Raw having roles in other Netflix projects.

While many names are simply shown watching on in the crowd, some are used for segments on the show itself – as was the case for comedians Tom Segura and Bret Kreischer on this week’s Raw, who appeared in a backstage segment with Cathy Kelley and The War Raiders.

According to WrestleVotes, several people were “unhappy” with Segura appearing on Raw due to the comedian making negative statements regarding pro wrestling in the past.

Speaking on WrestleVotes Radio on Sportskeeda Backstage Pass Patreon, WrestleVotes said:

“We are told several in the company were unhappy with the appearance of comedian Tom Segura this past Monday at Raw.

“Years ago, Segura made several disparaging comments about the wrestling business, calling it fake, stupid people who watch it idiots, and that the fights are not real, among other things that were much worse, and we’re not going to say on the air.

“While the few we talked to understood it was a Netflix call to have him on the show, and from all accounts, he was respectable while backstage, many within the company didn’t appreciate the fact that someone who was on record with these negative ideas and feelings towards pro wrestling could just walk right in and shake hands.”
