WWE RAW's Thunderdome sees fan playing KKK rally video & Hitler salute despite warning

WWE RAW made headlines for all the wrong reasons on Monday night after some explicit imagery appeared on WWE Thunderdome. WWE Thunderdome is an interactive virtual fan experience inside Florida’s Amway Center, with WWE RAW held behind closed doors amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. However, WWE Thunderdome has courted controversy in recent weeks with fans portraying offensive imagery during Monday Night RAW.

WWE KKK Video: WWE Thunderdome courts controversy yet again after KKK video 

Despite the company's official warning, Monday night action on WWE RAW was blighted by a KKK video which was streamed on Thunderdome. The KKK video appeared during the match between Keith Lee and Dolph Ziggler, leaving many fans disgusted. The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is a white supremacist hate group advocating extremist reactionary positions over the course of US history. The clip was played for several seconds before it was eventually panned away.

Fans have called for WWE to take serious action with explicit imagery having featured through last week. Before the WWE KKK video, a photo of the late Chris Benoit was shown while an ISIS beheading video also caught by netizens online. Hitler salutes have also been featured among other explicit imagery.

WWE released an official statement last week condemning the heinous acts and threatened to ban the people associated with those. In an official statement to the New York Post, WWE stated that the abhorrent behaviour does not reflect WWE‘s values and the company has zero tolerance towards these acts. During SummerSlam, a viewer had put a 'Fire Velveteen Dream' on his stream and later claimed on Twitter that he was removed from WE Thunderdome.
