WWE Let A Small Number Of Fans Attend This Week's TV Tapings
Last night's Raw crowd wasn't just made of Performance Center recruits...
A small amount of WWE fans were allowed into the building for the company's set of television tapings at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida yesterday.
This means that last night's Raw crowd was comprised of PC athletes and members of the public, making it the first time a WWE show has gone down in front of actual fans since the global health crisis forced the Empty Arena Era's genesis in March.
Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online broke the news hours before Raw hit the airwaves:-
Floridian journalist Jon Alba, who has been on the money with all things WWE-related through all of this, then came through with corroboration:-
Though WWE's crowds are separated from the in-ring performers by plexiglass screens, this was undone during the Street Profits' entrance last night, as Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford danced through the audience on their way to the ring.
There's currently no word on when WWE and other promotions will be able to start having the ticket-buying public at shows again. NJPW will hold a couple of 30%-capacity shows in Osaka next month, having returned from dormancy following Japan's decision to lift its state of emergency.
