Michin Responds to Fan Backlash Over WWE’s Holiday Taping Schedule

WWE’s decision to tape multiple episodes in advance during the holiday season has sparked debate among fans, but superstar Michin isn’t here for the criticism.

When one fan took to Twitter to vent about WWE’s taping schedule, suggesting the company should have taped the November 29 SmackDown a day after Raw, Michin delivered a heartfelt response that put things into perspective.

The fan tweeted, “Stop taping 2 shows in a row in the same venue. The latest SmackDown could have been taped on Tuesday, one day after Raw.”

Michin, not one to hold back, replied with a message highlighting the personal sacrifices WWE Superstars make for their families. “We like spending time with our families during the holidays. Oh, and if tapings was on Tuesday, I would’ve missed saying goodbye to my baby girl. Be more considerate,” she wrote.

Her response struck a chord with fans, many of whom applauded Michin for standing up for WWE’s wrestlers and their well-deserved holiday time. The company’s decision to pre-record episodes, including the November 29 SmackDown and the December 23 Raw, allows wrestlers and staff to enjoy time with their loved ones—a luxury in their grueling year-round schedule.

While some fans are still vocal about preferring live shows, Michin’s reply serves as a reminder of the human side of the superstars who bring the entertainment to life.
