Yeah, yeah, get in all your jokes about the WWE's "foolish" booking here, but seriously, why doesnt WWE ever try to capitalize? Obviously doing anything tonight on RAW would be a bad idea, but why not do something goofy on the website or the network?

Watch the entirety of Raw. I assure you that you’ll feel like a fool:

It's wrestling. How do you come up with something that real life hasn’t already topped?

They are doing their joke on Sunday when they force their fans to sit in their seats for 79 straight hours.

I just checked WWE's twitter for any goofs and saw that April Fool's Day is Randy Orton's birthday. No wonder he's such a prankster!

You didn’t see their statement in response to John Oliver?

Sky TV here actually once did a great April Fools gag around the time of Wrestlemania VI.
The show was Sunday April 1st and was actually going to air live in the UK from midnight that night. So during the lunchtime airing of Superstars or Wrestling Challenge on Mania Sunday, at the start of an ad break they ran an announcement saying that due to technical difficulties they would no longer be able to show Mania live. Young me was severely pissed off as I was being allowed to stay up and watch it live due to not having School the next day as it was Easter holidays. Then at the end of the ad break they announced that it was an April fool and they would still be showing it live.
Bastards!
Of course, they did have technical difficulties several times during the broadcast as there were sound issues.

Vince has probably already April Fooled about 40 people backstage so far today by telling them that they’re being fired, David Brent style.

Serious answer: WrestleMania X-7 took place on April 1st, and they did a Gimmick Battle Royal featuring silly character wrestlers from the past.

They are doing their joke on Sunday when they force their fans to sit in their seats for 79 straight hours. I was reading the list of things allowed in for Sunday, and it was like "outside beverages of a certain size and food, phone chargers and..." and just lol, damn, I have NEVER seen those allowed in events, even those in charge are like "Ok this is ridiculous, we have to concede SOMEWHERE" |

probably because their stock took a nose dive when Vince sold the company on tv in a storyline - it nosedived so badly that Vince bought it back the next week

Thankfully, we won't have to see Ronnie's "joke" that she wanted to do.

I wish no one did anything for April Fools Day. It's annoying as hell, seeing supposedly serious media outlets desperately trying to troll in the name of humour, never mind people on social media either trying to come up with the most extravagant bullshit they can, or falling for it.
'Hey, here's something you really want to be true... it isn't! Haha, you sucker!' Or 'here's something you'd hate to be true. Isn't it terrible? Hahaha, I made it up, you sucker!' Yeah. Good one. It's basically just 'ignore all news and social media day.'

I doubt that they could put up anything that people would either find weirder than reality and so funny or weird enough to not just be immediately believed in an unfunny way.
