Report: WWE Not Allowed Fans At Shows Until November

It was reported last week that WWE was going to be moving all main roster TV to the Amway Center in Orlando, beginning at the end of this week. Since March, all shows have been held at the Performance Center.

Because WWE was moving TV shows to a proper venue, many assumed that they were preparing to welcome fans back to shows. However, it has emerged that we won’t see a crowd at the Amway Center until November, at the very earliest.

Jon Alba is reporting that per WWE’s deal with the Amway Center, fans aren’t going to be allowed at the venue until the beginning of November, at the very earliest. The deal WWE signed is for no-fans shows until October 30:

A rep from the City of Orlando tells me and @MyNews13 #WWE has a use agreement with Amway Center through Oct. 30 with no fans present in the building.

So barring an amendment in the agreement, no live fans through October, but WWE gets arena access for all events through then.

While there won’t be actual fans in attendance at the shows, it is likely that WWE is still going to have the Performance Center recruits at ringside for the Amway Center shows, as they have done for the PC shows for the last few months.

It has been reported that WWE is exploring the option of using virtual fans at shows, possibly starting with SummerSlam this weekend. For the latest on that, make sure you click here.
