WWE Payback 2020: 10 Things That Must Happen

10. The Company Monitor Those ThunderDome Screens

First, a production alteration.

WWE's embarrassment over fan behaviour since switching on those LED boards inside their own ThunderDome should be obvious. It's hardly a great look that fans are using the screens to flash up messages like "Fire Velveteen Dream", pictures of Chris Benoit or videos of actual beheadings.

Monitoring these screens must be a pain in the arse for WWE, but it's something they'll have to think about before Payback. Though it's not ideal, putting fans on a slight two second delay might be the only option - that way, an admin can switch the screen off before something dodgy makes air on the Network.

The unfortunate thing is that early trolling will only encourage others to get even more inventive. This has the potential to be a PR nightmare for the promotion when they thought they were doing something cool, so they'll have to think of something.
