CM Punk, AEW, Chris Benoit and Many More – List of Shocking Names Banned from WWE ThunderDome

A bizarre list of banned screens surfaced during a behind-the-scenes documentary about the WWE ThunderDome, according to Heel By Nature. The operators were showing how they manually monitor the plethora of screens inside the ThunderDome. Sometimes, this lets miscreants slip away. The operators can kick out viewers displaying inappropriate images on the screen.

Who made the list?

The list contains people who have made themselves an enemy of the WWE. The most notorious one being Enzo Amore. The former WWE superstar and grade-A smack talker was released after he was accused of sexual harassment. The accusations were deemed to be false, but WWE’s strict no-tolerance policy led to him being kicked out of the door.

Amore made his return to WWE as an audience member in disguise. It was Survivor Series 2018 and during a tag team match between the Bar and the Authors of Pain, Amore rose from his seat and started creating a ruckus. He was kicked out of the arena and was banned from all future WWE events.

Another notorious enemy of WWE is the Elite. It is surprising that not all the members of the Elite are on the list. Kenny Omega made a shocking appearance on one of the screens at SmackDown. This sent the wrestling world into a tizzy. Omega even confirmed that the appearance was real and not a prank by a mischievous fan.

Omitted from the list are Kenny and his opponent at Full Gear, Hangman Page. Cody, Young Bucks, Brandi Rhodes and even Marty Scurll makes the list.

In truly bizarre fashion, WWE has banned the logos of promotions. It is unclear whether the logos of AEW, Impact Wrestling and NJPW are not allowed to be displayed or whether the people belonging to the promotion.

Also banned from the ThunderDome are certain former employees

Former WWE employees also make the list. Vickie Guerrero, Jim Cornette, CM Punk, Alberto del Rio, Ryback and of course, Cody and Brandi Rhodes, are all banned from the ThunderDome.

Cody infamously led a Bullet Club invasion of Monday Night Raw which featured on the Being the Elite YouTube channel. CM Punk and Ryback have shredded the company in the media and tarnished its image quite a bit. Vickie has switched allegiances to Tony Khan, and the lesser said about Jim Cornette, the better.

Deceased wrestlers become prime targets for miscreants to exploit for a silly prank. It was the Chris Benoit picture on one of the screens that led to WWE cracking down on inappropriate displays. The list also features the late Ashley Massaro. The former Diva committed suicide after battling depression.

The ThunderDome is very innovative and stunning feature of the ‘no-fans era’ of wrestling. The virtual transition has been more-or-less successful, and it makes sense for WWE to crack down on any threat to this seemingly flawless system. Survivor Series 2022 will be in the WWE ThunderDome, making it the fifth PPV to feature inside it.
