20. Crowds!

The first and most obvious thing that ruled about WrestleMania 37 was the return of proper live crowds for the first time in over a year, as WWE welcomed over 25,000 fans into Raymond James Stadium on each night.

While there are fair questions to be asked about safety protocols, having a massive human throng in the building made a huge difference. WrestleMania felt alive. For the first time since the global health crisis took hold, these shows were organic, even if it was hard to shake the feeling that WWE was still piping in a certain amount of crowd noise.

The ThunderDome had a greatly transformational impact on WWE programming when introduced last year. Still, no amount of video screens can compare to a buzzing live crowd, and we can only hope that this show signals the start of the journey back to fully-attended ones.
