5 Shocking WWE backstage traditions you didn't know about

#4. Always call your matches in English

Even non-native English speakers like Asuka are expected to call in English.

In 2019, the WWE is a mix of various nationalities from across the globe.

Though the majority of stars come from the U.S. other nations represented include Japan, Australia, Bulgaria, the UK, Canada, the Netherlands, Mexico, and Germany.

Despite the company being a multi-cultural land, Superstars are reminded to always conduct matches in English, to avoid confusion.

This rule is not just a WWE tradition though, as wrestlers in Japan are expected to conduct matches in English, and are also communicated to via the referee in English.

This means that stars from all over the world are able to communicate with each other instantly, rather than a wrestler needing to rapidly learn a foreign tongue before a match.

And in a sport where even the slightest mistake can lead to life-changing injuries, communication is crucial.
