Rapper Westside Gunn Claims WWE Ejected Him From RAW
In a move that’s got the wrestling world buzzing like a surprise Royal Rumble entrant, rapper and bona fide wrestling head Westside Gunn took to social media to blast WWE, claiming he got unceremoniously booted from Monday Night RAW despite allegedly dropping a cool five grand on his seat. For those who don't follow the Griselda Records founder's feed, this isn't just some casual fan complaining about a bad night; Gunn is as deep in the game as it gets outside the ring.He's the driving force behind his own promotion, 4THROPE, a longtime vocal supporter of both WWE and AEW, and a guy who often compares the lyrical beatdowns of hip-hop to the physical storytelling in the squared circle. The incident, if his account holds up, is a massive look for WWE, a company that has spent years cultivating relationships with celebrities from Bad Bunny to Logan Paul, integrating them into storylines and even training them for in-ring appearances.The optics of ejecting a high-profile, genuine fan like Gunn—who was reportedly there as a paying customer, not a storyline participant—raises serious questions about backstage communication and crowd management protocols. Was it a case of mistaken identity? An overzealous security guard who didn't recognize him? Or something more deliberate, perhaps related to his affiliations outside of WWE? The situation feels reminiscent of other infamous fan ejections, though rarely involving someone of Gunn's stature.It’s the kind of behind-the-scenes drama that fans eat up, a real-life 'he said, they said' that plays out on Twitter and Reddit with more twists than a Money in the Bank ladder match. For a company that prides itself on its global entertainment product and seamless live event experience, this is an unforced error, a botched promo that could alienate not just a key influencer in the hip-hop world—a demographic WWE has aggressively pursued—but also the broader fanbase who sees one of their own, a mega-fan who made it big, getting treated poorly. The fallout will be interesting to watch; will it be quietly smoothed over with comped tickets and a backstage apology, or will it escalate into a wider conversation about how the company handles its VIP guests? In the world of sports entertainment, where perception is often reality, this is a storyline WWE definitely didn't write, and one they probably wish they could edit out.
