10 Impulse Reactions To The First EVER Empty Arena WWE Raw
6. The Show Must Go On
WWE are going to hide WrestleMania 36 in plain sight.
From choosing not to emphasise the seismic shift at the start of the show, the burial of the announcement between the re-airing of the entire men's Royal Rumble and a larger preview of the Drew McIntyre/Brock Lesnar programme was pointed.
It was the first attempt by the company to normalise about 15 separate abnormalities atop one another. The show will take place in that empty gym - a location they have a couple of weeks to figure out how to make slightly more captivating to look at for a genuinely terrifying seven hours on April 5th.
For all the updated info, there was nothing on the ramifications regarding NXT or the Hall Of Fame, nor exactly how the company could logically justify running it this way just to keep the date in Vince McMahon's diary rather than finding a suitable time later in the year if and when things settle.
Perhaps time will come later for those conversations, but this exact show might have been the most opportune and fan-friendly place.
