WWE has been working hard to put a stop to inappropriate imagery during their broadcasts but one fan was able to display KKK imagery during the Keith Lee vs. Dolph Ziggler. It was brief, the camera cut away and the fan was removed but this is the second week in a row that something like this has happened during Raw.
WWE sent out a statement last week after images of the KKK and Chris Benoit appeared during Raw.
WWE’s statement: “This abhorrent behavior does not reflect WWE‘s values and we have zero tolerance for these unacceptable acts. We are working to ban those involved from future events and per our policies, any inappropriate actions result in the removal from the live stream.”
During SummerSlam, a fan was able to get a “Fire Velveteen Dream” sign on the show. The fan later claimed on Twitter that he was booted from the ThunderDome experience.
As noted last week, WWE has figured out a way to keep fans from displaying inappropriate images. It may take some time but this shouldn’t be a problem for them soon. Click here for news on what WWE is planning to keep the bad fans away.
You can see the tweets below with screenshots of the KKK imagery that appeared on Raw.

More KKK imagery in the thunderdome tonight, also a Hitler salute involved.
More action needs to be taken to fine these people by the WWE. This could be done by putting in details for the thunderdome signups.
Disgusting.#WWERAW pic.twitter.com/rDcqlG7fKv
