Another backstage image has leakedand this time, its giving fans an unfiltered look at the rehearsal process before Monday Night RAW.
Circulating on social media this week is a backstage photo reportedly taken ahead of the April 14th episode of RAW. The image features several WWE Superstars, including an unmasked Penta chatting with Finn Balor, in what appears to be a pre-show discussion. Also spotted were AJ Styles and Karrion Kross, seemingly going over match details, and WWE veterans Michael Hayes and Bruce Prichard orchestrating the flow of the night. Producer Robert Roode was also present, involved in what looked like segment coordination.
The photo has sparked a wave of reactions online. Some fans are loving the behind-the-scenes peek, praising how it humanizes the talent and shows the work that goes into each segment. Others, however, are upset about the leakfeeling that seeing Superstars in rehearsal, especially someone like Penta without his mask, takes away from the mystique and tradition of wrestling.
This isnt the first time a leak like this has hit the timeline. A similar backstage image surfaced in September 2024, prompting WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross to speak out, calling for whoever leaked that photo to be fired.
The wrestling world is constantly balancing entertainment and transparency, and leaks like these only raise more questions about where that line should be drawn.
