Virtual fans can now appear on WWE programming thanks to WWE ThunderDome, but it appears that some fans are using their ThunderDome seats for reasons the company probably didn’t intend.
On Monday night one fan used their ThunderDome seat to display a photo of Chris Benoit, and during the main event a fan who appeared to be wearing a KKK robe appeared in the front row.
Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet reached out to WWE for comment, and the company issued the following statement in regards to the KKK imagery appearing on Raw:
“This abhorrent behavior does not reflect WWE‘s values and we have zero tolerance for these unacceptable acts. We are working to ban those involved from future events and per our policies, any inappropriate actions result in the removal from the live stream.”
Aye @WWE thunderdome was cool but seeing the KKK front row was all wrong! #Thunderdome pic.twitter.com/oCOGTqlf0r
