• Several People In WWE Are Unhappy With Tom Segura’s RAW Appearance
Comedian Tom Segura’s appearance on this week’s RAW has reportedly caused discontent among WWE personnel. According to WrestleVotes, several individuals within the company (both wrestlers and staff members) were unhappy with Segura’s involvement, given his past criticisms of professional wrestling. While it was understood that his appearance was a directive from Netflix, many felt that allowing someone who had previously expressed negative sentiments about wrestling to participate in the show was inappropriate.
For those who don’t know, Segura said on his podcast back in 2020 that professional wrestling is for “retards,” and called the wrestling business “fake” and “stupid.” This controversial take led to Dolph Ziggler tweeting the following 5 years ago:
“Hi Tom, big fan of both of you and Christina P, for years. I am a former collegiate wrestler turned professional wrestler, and a lifelong wrestling fan. I have been with WWE for 15 years now and we are the epitome of sports entertainment.
There are villains, heroes, undertakers, superhero’s and everything in between for children and adults of all walks of life. We are just like any tv show, movie & even podcast except, our risks are much more real (sans Tom Cruise hanging on to the outside of Elon Musk’s spaceship).
I am extremely proud of the incredible work wrestlers continue to put in everyday and I am pleased with our product (usually). I will assume this is a comedic take from someone having fun. If not, I am always willing to discuss the professional wrestling business at length, any time and any place.”
