WWE Plans On Having Fans At Tapings Outside Of Performance Center
All because Vince McMahon wants to be the first pandemic promoter.
WWE have plans to run shows outside of the Performance Center in the near future, according to Fightful Select.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter also confirmed that WWE contacted a company for Florida locals to appear at TV tapings on Friday, July 24 and Monday, July 27 at the RP Funding Center in Lakeland, Florida. This venue contains 8,000 seats and has been used for past Ring of Honor shows.
It's since been noted that these live shoots may be pushed back to August. Originally, the July dates were due to be announced this week as WWE Chairman Vince McMahon wanted to be the first individual to run a live indoor sports event with fans in attendance during the current global crisis.
With WWE recently changing their taping schedule due to the reports of various talents testing positive for the virus, it's still unclear if or when they will attempt to produce a show in front of live fans. However, when they do choose to attempt this feat they will have to practise social distancing, which will see the company having to limit the crowd size to a percentage of the venue's usual capacity.
