Best Answer

The term kayfabe refers to a gimmick or a storyline that has been set or about to be so. Examples:Kane's mask and undertaker rise from the dead is a kayfabe'gimmick-wise'. The win by Big Show to RVD for the ECW title is too as well. Alias' too are kayfabes To break kayfabe is to be against a story or a role or gimmick. A very good example is WWE's tribute to the troops and Eddie Guerrerro's memorial episodes. Wrestlers gave up their gimmicks for the night as a tribute to the respective individuals. One good example is Chris masters. During Tribute in Iraq 2006, he took away his arrogant heel role to meet up with his fiance's brother and hugging him, something a on-screen Masters would not do.

Do WWE writers know that people know that it is scripted?

WWE writers are aware that, with few exceptions, professional wrestling fans are aware that most aspects of the show are scripted. While pro wrestling has a rich history of "kayfabe" (maintaining the "legitimacy" of the drama), a practice that continues to this day, the "sports entertainment era" of pro wrestling as ushered in by WWE has reduced the effect of kayfabe in mainstream. The writers understand that most wrestling fans are just as interested in the stories and drama as they are in the combat.
