It is common for pro wrestlers to rehearse their matches and segments before the show airs. Recently, a photo of WWE stars and crew rehearsing ahead of the August 12 episode of RAW went viral on social media.
The photo shows several stars talking to each other, including Randy Orton and Gunther, who have a major storyline. On his Grilling JR podcast, AEW announcer Jim Ross said that the person who captured the photo should be fired.
“Somebody’s a chicken sh-t quite frankly. It’s just unprofessional and has no place. Whoever did it should be fired, simple as that. Shouldn’t go to HR; just say, ‘Look, we’re done. You broke a rule that is important to maintain.’
But that picture is very revealing; it tells multiple stories, and so in that respect, it’s unique as you can see all the talents hanging around. That’s kind of a typical thing; everybody’s going through their paces, talking, trying to get their timing together, all those things… so it’s daunting. I don’t like it; I don’t like when things like that happen.”
