UPDATE: WWE Media Training Rumor Shut Down After Ricochet and Je’Von Evans Twitter Drama

Sean Ross Sapp is setting the record straight regarding WWE’s alleged media training mandate for Performance Center talent following the Twitter clash between Ricochet and Je’Von Evans.

According to Sapp, the whole story was blown out of proportion and never intended to be taken seriously.

“To make it clear. I NEVER reported that WWE was undergoing media training as a result of yesterday’s tweets,” Sapp posted on his Twitter. “Anyone aggregating that is taking it out of context and did not bother asking for clarification. There was a comment right after that post that was pretty obvious that it wasn’t a ‘report.’”

The rumor started after Ricochet and Je’Von Evans exchanged heated words on Twitter, with Evans taking a shot at Ricochet’s AEW run and calling Tony Khan a “crackhead.”

Sapp clarified that his comment wasn’t intended to be taken as a report and that any outlets claiming WWE is enforcing media training are misrepresenting his words. “My reporting is on my website, here, or a show. I don’t need anyone else breaking my news reports for me,” Sapp said, making it clear that no such training is currently planned.
