In it, you'll see a chap performing Daniel Bryan's 'Yes' finger point (look towards Rey Mysterio's right kneecap to find him). Next to him, there's a young lad marvelling at Mysterio's dropkick on 'King' Corbin. Both of those fans are in your eye line for a reason.

The more animated you are on your ThunderDome screen, the more likely you are to be bumped down to the front few rows. This is actually a progression of how WWE once governed hard cam seats - Bruce Prichard and others have noted on podcasts that the company enjoy having livelier fans opposite the main camera.

This, in theory, adds to the viewing experience at home. So, to sum up, if you're reacting to every big bump, promo or finish, then you've got an excellent chance of being pushed onto the screens around ringside. Keep that in mind the next time you're watching, because WWE tend to move fans around a fair bit.
