10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 2015 Facts
10. The Show Was Faced With A Rumored Terror Threat
The day before the pay-per-view, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a statement, claiming awareness of reports of an alleged threat concerning an event in Atlanta, where Survivor Series would be taking place. ISIS was associated with the rumored threats, although local authorities claimed no real evidence of any credible threat to the Atlanta area.
WWE would release their own statement, planning to go on with the show as scheduled. Nonetheless, there were extra security personnel at Survivor Series, with more thorough searches. Fans attending Survivor Series were reportedly forbidden from bringing bags into the building. Other than the extra security detail, and Lilian Garcia singing the Star Spangled Banner to start the night, the show was business-as-usual, with nothing said on the broadcast concerning the alleged threat.
