From Wikipedia:
The presentation of professional wrestling as being entirely legitimate or unscripted. Prior to the mid-1980s, this was universally maintained across all wrestling territories and promotions. Used by some in the industry as a verb- to hide or keep something a secret.
Storywise, The SWS is meant to function like a real wrestling show, as in characters have a life outside the ring and behave completely different when in-gimmick. We could say kayfabe refers to making wrestling matches look "believable" or as "real and competitive" as possible.
Because of The SWS being a fictional show, all matches will look more serious and violent than they actually are, also due to the kinky nature of the show.
