We often see WWE wrestlers battling it out to determine who among them is on top. This, however, is not real, and wrestlers you see duking it out on screen will happen to be incredibly close in real life. Wrestlers generally kayfabe or act to make the match or a segment more entertaining. Sometimes to display events as ‘real,’ WWE pre-plans some acts to make sure that the segment is going smoothly, without any problems.
