Several people within WWE were said to have been unhappy with comedian Tom Segura’s RAW appearance
As seen during the May 26th 2025 edition of WWE RAW, comedian Tom Segura made an appearance as part of a backstage interview. The segment was met with criticism from fans since Segura previously stated in 2020 that “wrestling is for f*cking retards.” In his RAW interview, Segura admitted that he said “some stupid things” in his life.
WrestleVotes Radio noted the following about how people in WWE reacted to Segura being on RAW…
“We are told several in the company were unhappy with the appearance of comedian Tom Segura this past Monday at Raw. Years ago, Segura made several disparaging comments about the wrestling business, calling it fake, stupid people who watch it idiots, and that the fights are not real, among other things that were much worse, and we’re not going to say on the air.

While the few we talked to understood it was a Netflix call to have him on the show, and from all accounts, he was respectable while backstage, many within the company didn’t appreciate the fact that someone who was on record with these negative ideas and feelings towards pro wrestling could just walk right in and shake hands.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
