HUGE Screen Collapse At Festival Hosting This Week's WWE SmackDown
Miami Gardens' Rolling Loud festival rocked by stage and wall collapse.
A giant video screen wall has collapsed ahead of the Rolling Loud hip-hop festival, which is due to host matches for this week's episode of WWE SmackDown.
Miami's Local 10, an NBC affiliate, broke news of the collapse inside Hard Rock Stadium, noting, fortunately, that nobody was injured. The accident won't cause any delays to Rolling Loud either, as the organisers have confirmed the show will go on as planned:-
In case you see it on the news, a screen fell down at one of our stages. Nobody was hurt and it will be fixed before doors open tomorrow. The show goes on!

The original reports that there is currently no word on what, exactly, triggered the collapse.
There is currently no indication that the collapsed video wall would have been featured on tonight's SmackDown.
Headlined by Travis Scott, Post Malone, A$AP Rocky, Rick Ross, and more, Rolling Loud takes place over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Several matches for this week's episode of SmackDown are due to air live from the festival, with blue brand also broadcasting from a more traditional wrestling arena setting in Cleveland, Ohio.
John Cena is due to appear on tonight's episode. On top of this, Carmella will wrestle SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair for the second consecutive week, while Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews faces Big E in a non-title bout, as their never-ending feud continues. It isn't currently clear which of these matches will air from Rolling Loud.
