7 WWE Superstars who have reportedly had backstage heat in 2020 (and the reasons why)

#6 Angelo Dawkins | #5 Montez Ford (WWE RAW)

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, WWE shows were held without any fans in attendance for over two months between March-May 2020.

The May 25 episode of WWE RAW saw the introduction of ‘fans’ behind screens at ringside, with WWE’s Performance Center recruits portraying audience members.

PC recruits have adhered to social distancing guidelines by standing away from their colleagues as they watch episodes of RAW, SmackDown and NXT. However, that did not happen on June 15 when The Street Profits went into the audience to high-five the recruits, as well as a select few WWE fans who were also in attendance.

Sportskeeda’s Tom Colohue reported that, while Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford have engaged with fans during their entrance for years, this particular entrance caused some upset backstage due to the RAW Tag Team Champions going against social distancing advice.

The Street Profits did not appear to suffer any kind of on-screen repercussions for their actions, though, as they retained their titles against The Viking Raiders one week later on RAW.
