WWE Had Internal Talks on Lack of Black Representation at Premium Live EventsBut No Real Action

On the post-Raw show, Sean Ross Sapp was asked if WWE has held any discussions about the noticeable absence of Black male singles stars on the main roster and at big shows. According to Sapp, there was talk behind the scenes a few months ago when the subject first gained traction, and WWE made a quick effort to address it.

There was some internal conversation when it was brought up a few months ago. You saw them quickly try to rectify it, Sapp said. But when it comes to real change? Sapp isnt convinced. I dont buy the whole oh well, its about who deserves it argument. You script the show you decide who, within the context of the program, deserves it or not. So absolutely not I havent heard of any heavy discussion about it or anything like that.

The response has left fans with more questions than answers. While there seemed to be a temporary shift, the absence of names like Carmelo Hayes from major shows continues to raise eyebrows. Critics argue that its not just about earning a spot when the entire structure is predetermined. Its about who the company chooses to elevateand when.

This conversation cuts deeper than just screen time. It reflects how WWE approaches representation and whether or not the system is set up to truly include everyone. Fans are still waiting to see if WWE will make meaningful changes or if this issue will continue to be quietly ignored.

WWE cant afford to sidestep the conversation much longernot when so many viewers are paying attention.
