Here’s What To Expect From Virtual Fans At WWE Shows

It was reported last week that WWE is going to be moving production of their TV shows away from the Performance Center to the Amway Center in Orlando. Fans thought this was the beginning of welcoming fans back to shows.

However, it has since been reported by Jon Alba that WWE’s deal sees them running no-fans shows until the end of October, so we likely won’t see fans at shows until November at the earliest. You can read more about that by clicking here.

It has also been reported that while we won’t see proper fans at WWE shows for the next few months, WWE is considering implementing virtual fans on a big screen at shows, possibly starting this week.

Dave Meltzer has since corroborated this report, noting that WWE is following in the footsteps of major sports in this model. Here’s what he said to say on the matter on Wrestling Observer Radio;

“They’re trying to copy what the NBA and baseball are doing. So, it’s that Fox has seen this and Fox wants it — it’s gonna be basically what’s done with those sports.”

It is believed that tonight’s Raw is going to be the last show at the Performance Center if plans go ahead, so expect more information about WWE’s plans for the Amway Center shows and virtual fans in the coming days.
