It reads "Y2J is Way 2 Gay".


I was thinking maybe it was a mistake as the camera slowly moves away from it but it if was, then it would have been edited out from the broadcast all together. Also, Triple H made gay jokes earlier so I guess back then, WWE were fine with anyone making gay jokes. Wrestler or fan.
If I remember, its not really until the Billy & Chuck relationship storyline that WWE managed to get a gay rights sponsor on board with them. Also why they took a lot of heat with GLAAD for the fake marriage gag and making Rico into a gay villain for the storyline.

Same for why Cena suddenly stopped using gay insults towards his opponents for promos a couple years later since GLAAD and maybe others threatened to pull their sponsorship deals.
