Don't show up to a WWE event wearing an All Elite Wrestling shirt.
A fan found out this rule the hard way at WWE Royal Rumble on Sunday night when he was forced to remove his AEW shirt while sitting ringside at the event. This isn't the first time fans have been forced to remove their AEW gear at a WWE event. On Jan. 8, following the AEW rally in Jacksonville, fans were turned away from SmackDown, which was being held across the street from the rally, if they were decked in AEW gear. WWE eventually let fans in after backlash on social media.
Below is a video of the fan at WWE Royal Rumble being forced to remove his AEW shirt.

The Young Bucks offered up a response to the incident.
Let it be known that if you wanna wear a WWE shirt at Double Or Nothing or any AEW related event we won’t do this to you.

Bummer to see this. Hopefully he still has a good time tonight.
