No crowds.
By Scott Keith on March 17, 2020
What are the odds that after a couple weeks of Performance Center Raws, Smackdowns and finally Wrestlemania, Vince will decide he likes it and that becomes the new standard? No pesky members of the WWE Universe to screw up Roman's 241st coronation, pal! Maybe the crowd will come back after the virus scare is all done, but they can be hired extras – "cast members" like Dixie Carter wanted.
I'm asking this 95% in jest, but for whatever reason seeing Shayna look at a screen backstage showing Becky in the ring in an otherwise empty arena made me think this is a legitimate possibility. Fans rarely if ever react the way he wants them to, house shows are being phased out, attendance is down, and with the benefit of pretaping he can get as many takes as he wants. He can add effects and whatnot to whatever goofy Fiend and Undertaker stuff they've got planned. They wouldn't have to work around part-timers' schedules anymore, they could just shoot Cena and Goldberg and Rock in advance.
Everyone, Vince included, hates the empty arena stuff according to all reports, and they acknowledge it doesn’t work. That’s why there was only one match on RAW. Just makes the Wrestlemania plan all the more crazy.
