During a WWE live event, it’s normal to see talent wait in the ring while video packages air on the titantron. This often happens to midcard talent, but a top talent like Randy Orton sometimes has to figure out what to do while standing around in the dark for several minutes before their opponent comes out. While there hasn’t been any pushback from talent for this, a recent report from Fightful Select revealed how some who had this happen to them felt about the whole ordeal.
According to the report, WWE talent sometimes has to wait for 15 minutes in the ring after their entrance while a commercial plays on the titantron. The report also mentions that some of the talents in the company are annoyed with the whole ordeal and even expressed their feelings to WWE higher-ups. However, they were told that the format “was what it was” and that it was needed to improve the show’s flow.
One talent was asked what they would do while waiting, and they said, “talk to the crowd, dance, get annoyed that I’m waiting that long.” Fans who attended the May 30th episode of RAW noticed that Liv Morgan had to wait in the ring for nearly 20 minutes after she had entered.
