10 More Ways WWE Could Mine Nostalgia During The Empty Arena Era
9. Bash At The (A?) Beach
AEW did a good-not-amazing job with the Bash At The Beach theme on the January 15th 2020 edition of Dynamite, but the entire theme felt more like a copyright flex from Cody more than something they were overtly desperate to commit to.
In hindsight, it was hugely prescient getting a summer-themed show out of the way in January considering what the warmer months of 2020 would actually look like, but never has all the set dressing been so helpful for getting an otherwise ordinary show over the line.
The sand, the surfboards, the swimming pools - all of it could add some much-needed sparkle to SummerSlam ahead of the 'Biggest Party Of The Summer' if nobody can actually attend the thing.
This would be a welcome case of WWE stealing the aesthetic of something without having to have the argument with Vince McMahon about the literal name. Dress the Performance Center up like a Baywatch reshoot and give the wrestlers yet another new backdrop to fight against.
