WWE creative team members face significant pressure to produce high-quality content for the company’s programming. Along with their responsibilities behind the scenes, they are also required to adhere to a strict dress code while on the job.
According to a document obtained by Rolling Stone, WWE mandated that male employees wear suits, while female employees were required to wear skirts, dresses, or pantsuits. Additionally, all employees were instructed to keep their shoes shined at all times.
For years, it has been known that WWE enforces a dress code, especially for its Superstars, who are expected to arrive at events in business attire. In the past, fines have been issued to those who failed to comply with this policy.
WWE has long maintained a professional environment, and part of that involves ensuring that employees, including the creative team, dress in a manner that reflects the company’s image. This recent report sheds light on the specific expectations placed on backstage staff regarding their appearance.
The document referenced by Rolling Stone could be from a time before Triple H assumed control of WWE’s creative direction, so it is unclear whether the dress code has changed under his leadership.
As WWE continues to tour and produce live television, the expectations for both performance and presentation remain high for employees across the company, including the creative team. The dress code is just one part of the company’s broader professional standards.
