The empty-arena shows due to the COVID-19 pandemic have made everyone realize how important a live audience is for WWE shows. It is the WWE Universe that brings the energy into the segments, making the entire atmosphere electric!

But WWE Superstars have a strict guideline to not touch the crowd. WWE Superstar Mark Henry revealed the massive fine that a Superstar has to pay if they reach out into the crowd. While there have been some leeways to this rule, it is generally there for preventive measures. The World's Strongest Man stated:

A female WWE star said her life is in danger. Details HERE

“We’re not allowed to put our hands on nobody. $70,000 fine if you reach out into the crowd. You’re going to get fined.”

Ever wondered what happens if a WWE Superstar shows up late for work? Well, Vince McMahon is known to be very strict about such things, and understandably so, as punctuality is something every organization wants from its employees.

As per a report from June 2014, WWE had a zero-tolerance policy for people arriving late on RAW or SmackDown.

Wrestlers were also told there is a zero tolerance rule in effect for showing up to Raw or Smackdown after the designated call time, which is usually 2pm eastern time for Raw and 2pm local time for Smackdown.

Former WWE/WWF Intercontinental and European Champion, D'Lo Brown appeared on Colt Cabana's Art of Wrestling Podcast and revealed an incident when he was fined for coming late. During a South Africa tour, Brown was 15 minutes late for the tour bus, which led to him getting handed a 10K fine - only that it was in South African Rands, amounting to around $10 at the time of the incident.
