#5. Superstars reportedly violate an unwritten rule
The Jaxson Ryker incident has brought to light a very intriguing unwritten rule that is practiced in the WWE. As revealed by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Radio, the rule doesn't allow talents to go after each other publicly unless it's a worked angle or done to further a storyline.
In Jaxson Ryker's case, many Superstars called out the Forgotten Sons member on social media for his tweet in which he supported Donald Trump and the Superstars were legitimately angry.
Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Mustafa Ali, Ricochet, and even Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler (Ryker's stablemates), took to Twitter and condemned his remarks.
Can WWE fire Jaxson Ryker?
It was reported that while the locker room is apparently furious at Ryker, Vince McMahon, and co. won't be able to fire the Superstar as he expressed his freedom of speech.
Meltzer noted the following:
"You're really not supposed to go after guys. That was a real violation of kind of this unwritten rule, you don't go after other people unless it's a worked angle and this was very much not a worked angle, and you had his two partners, who I'm sure, Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake, who I'm sure are both just like, 'I don't want to be painted with a brush of this moron.' So, they quickly said that we don't think like him and then, Sami Zayn - I think his mind is in a different place, and Kevin Owens - who tries to be in his own weird way, in his own sardonic way tries to help these guys who say stupid things. And who else, Ricochet."
